Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis have fired back at their former nanny’s civil lawsuit!
According to legal documents obtained by TMZ on Thursday, the co-parents slammed Ericka Genaro, their former caretaker, who has been airing their dirty laundry in the media alongside her lawsuit, in which she alleges she was wrongfully terminated — and that the couple violated other California labor laws.

In the new docs, Olivia and Jason claim the suit should never have been filed in California and argue if Ericka wanted to sue them, she should’ve taken the issue up with a private arbitrator in New York. Furthermore, the couple said in a joint statement to the outlet:
The nanny had worked for the couple, who share son Otis, 9, and daughter Daisy, 6, from 2018 to 2021. In February, she finally filed a lawsuit in which she declared everything was going fine with her job until the actors’ relationship crumbled and Harry Styles entered the picture. Ericka has said she was dragged into the drama of the breakup. Being stuck in the middle of a messy split, she says, caused her emotional distress and “extreme anxiety,” leading her to ask for a medical leave. She claims the Ted Lasso star then fired her on the spot.
But Jason and Olivia aren’t standing by and letting her control the narrative. Per TMZ, they say they didn’t start to have issues with Genaro until after she asked for something other than leave — for her salary to be doubled again and to be paid tax-free! Whoa! It’s unclear exactly when she made the demand, but they say they flat-out refused. The Booksmart director and the We’re The Millers alum claim they paid Ericka generously, even doubling her salary
