Jason Sudeikis and Olivia Wilde have slammed "false and scurrilous" claims made by their children's former nanny in a joint statement.
The ex-couple's nanny had made some sensational claims in a bombshell interview, accusations Jason and Olivia say are "incredibly upsetting".
She spoke anonymously as she claimed Ted Lasso star Jason was once 'so distraught after finding out about Olivia's affair with Harry Styles' he 'threw himself in front of her car'.
The nanny also claimed Jason 'discovered Olivia had hooked up with Harry Styles at Palm Springs after finding emails between the pair on her old Apple watch'.
Speaking to The Mirror, in a combined statement, Jason and Olivia said: "As parents, it is incredibly upsetting to learn that a former nanny of our two young children would choose to make such false and scurrilous accusations about us publicly.
"Her now 18-month long campaign of harassing us, as well as loved ones, close friends and colleagues, has reached its unfortunate apex.
"We will continue to focus on raising and protecting our children with the sincere hope that she will now choose to leave our family alone."
The nanny told the Daily Mail Jason fired her in February last year in a 'drunken rage'.
She claimed: "On the Monday morning [of] Nov. 9, when I came back from a weekend off, [Jason] was crying a lot, crying and crying. I didn’t know what had happened at all.
"After I’d got the kids ready, Jason came upstairs and was having some coffee. He was crying and a mess, saying, ‘She left us. She left us!"
She is thought to have worked for the couple for more than three years and further alleged that Jason banned his house staff from listening to Harry Styles music in his house following his and Olivia's break-up.
Jason and Olivia share son Otis, 8, and daughter Daisy, 6, and got engaged in 2013 and their break-up was announced in November 2020.
Rumours of Olivia's romance with chart-topping singer Harry first started circulating in January 2021 after they were seen holding hands at Jeff Azoff’s wedding in California.
"Our relationship was over long before I met Harry," Olivia previously told Vanity Fair, making reference to her break-up with Jason.
She added: "Like any relationship that ends, it doesn’t end overnight."
