Jason Sudeikis and Olivia Wilde‘s former nanny has launched a legal battle against them.
In court documents obtained by E! News, Ericka Genaro—who worked for the couple between 2018 and 2021—alleges she took on an increased parenting role to kids Otis, 8, and Daisy, 6, after Wilde left the family home in November 2020.
Genaro’s attorneys alleged the pressure of “not only being the primary caretaker of the children, but also filling in Wilde’s absence for the children became debilitating” for their client.
When news of Sudeikis and Wilde’s breakup broke at the end of that year, Genaro’s “anxiety and stress did not get any better,” court documents stated. Eventually, the couple agreed to engage in group therapy with Genaro through both remote sessions and group text messages.
Genaro alleges medical professionals advised her in February 2021 to take a three-day break from work. Genaro claims in court documents that after she spoke with Sudeikis, he fired her on the spot.
