 Mid-presentation, she was handed an envelope labeled “personal and confidential” by an unidentified woman wearing a mask. Deadline later reported that the contents may have been custody papers from Sudeikis. Variety, citing an anonymous source, reported that although “papers were drawn up” for a custody arrangement, Sudeikis “had no prior knowledge” that Wilde would get served with the papers during her onstage appearance.

Insider was not able to independently confirm those details. “There was a huge breach in security, which is really scary,” Wilde told Variety. “The hurdles that you had to jump through to get into that room with several badges, plus special COVID tests that had to be taken days in advance, which gave you wristbands that were necessary to gain access to the event — this was something that required forethought.

“For me, it was appalling, but the victims were an 8­ and 5 ­year-­old, and that’s really sad. I chose to become an actress; I willingly walked into the spotlight. But it’s not something my children have asked for.

And when my kids are dragged into it, it’s deeply painful. “Read the original article on Insider.
