Sudeikis wanted me to pick sides in Wilde break-up, says actors' ex-nanny in lawsuit

Ericka Genaro alleges she suffered from "extreme anxiety" after becoming trapped in the middle of the couple's relationship breakdown in 2020. She says Ted Lasso star Sudeikis' insistence on late-night chats left her feeling like she had to "pick sides".

Ms Genaro has now filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles seeking damages, back-pay, and legal fees. According to court documents, Ms Genaro - the live-in nanny for the former couple's two children - says her anxiety "boiled up" as Sudeikis and Wilde's relationship disintegrated, all in the media spotlight. "Wilde's sudden absence from the home had an adverse consequence on its emotional state, including Sudeikis leaning on the presence of [her] for support," Ms Genaro's lawyers set out.
