Did she choose a pop star over her puppy?
Olivia Wilde’s former nanny claims the director got rid of his dog Gordon so he could travel with his new beau Harry Styles and spend more time with him.
“After [Wilde] left [at the start of November 2020]she came for a visit and said, ‘We need to find Gordon a new home,’ nonchalantly,” the ex-employee told the Daily Mail on Tuesday.
“Jason doesn’t really care about animals and wanted him out of their house as soon as possible.”
According to the nanny, who chose to remain anonymous, the ‘Ted Lasso’ star, 47, once told her that Wilde, 38, only had the pet for “appearances anyway” and that she “rarely cared” for him.
“I told Jason I knew someone who loved Gordon and was ready to take him in, so Jason said, ‘Let’s get him out of here right now,'” the woman added.
The dog reportedly went to live with Wilde’s New York-based dog walker.
Along with the allegations about Wilde’s Golden Retriever, the nanny made several damning claims about her former bosses, including that an amorous Sudeikis once threw himself under Wilde’s car to stop him from leaving and that he allegedly kicked the worker out of his house in a drunken rage.
However, ex Wilde and Sudeikis banded together on Monday afternoon to debunk the nanny’s claims.
They said in a joint statement to Page Six: “As parents, it is incredibly heartbreaking to learn that a former nanny of our two young children would choose to make such false and slanderous accusations about us publicly.
“His now 18-month campaign of harassment against us, our loved ones, close friends and colleagues has reached its unfortunate peak. We will continue to focus on nurturing and protecting our children with the sincere hope that she will now choose to leave our family alone.
Despite Sudeikis and Wilde’s attempt to silence her, the Daily Mail published a second part of their interview with the nanny, in which she also alleged that the ‘Don’t Worry Darling’ director had directed the former star from “Saturday Night Live”.
“When I saw Olivia holding hands as a couple with Harry in the news [in January 2021]I was shocked because just a month before, when we were in LA, she was texting Jason saying she loved him,” the woman told the outlet.
“Then Jason said, she was right there [at the house] and she was naked in the pool and then she slept naked with me in bed.
Sudeikis’ reps did not immediately return Page Six’s request for comment on the nanny’s most recent allegations, and Wilde’s rep declined to comment on the latest allegations.
Wilde has denied leaving Sudeikis for Styles, 28, although an insider recently told us the father-of-two is heartbroken over the split.
The former couple, who got engaged in 2013, share two children: Otis, 8, and Daisy, 6.
