Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis Seek to Dismiss Former Nanny’s Wrongful Termination Case

usmagazine.com:

Exes Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis are hoping to dismiss their children’s former nanny Ericka Genaro’s lawsuit regarding her termination.“It is unfortunate that this private matter continues to play out in the press.

Our focus has been and will continue to be to steadfastly protect our family in the face of harassment of any kind,” the Don’t Worry Darling director, 39, and the Ted Lasso star, 47, tell Us Weekly in a joint statement. “We are confident that the evidence brought forward will affirm our position to summarily dismiss this case and bring our family peace.” The pair — who split in November 2020 amid the coronavirus pandemic — are planning to file a motion to compel arbitration in Genaro’s case, which they allege was improperly filed in California as a civil suit instead as a hearing before the American Arbitration Association (AAA) in New York.

Wilde and the Saturday Night Live alum also want to dismiss the California case entirely so that both parties can bring forward complaints to the AAA.Us previously confirmed in February that Genaro had filed a lawsuit against the House alum and Sudeikis — who share son Otis, 9, and daughter Daisy, 6 — for wrongful termination.

Genaro had served as Otis and Daisy’s nanny beginning in 2019 before she was eventually let go. Genaro alleged in her original court filing that she was fired because of the anxiety and depression she allegedly developed as a result of her employment.
