"Wilde's sudden absence from the home had an adverse consequence on its emotional state, including Sudeikis leaning on the presence of (Genaro) for support," the complaint, obtained by the PA news agency, alleged.
The plaintiff became increasingly anxious and stressed with Sudeikis's tendency to seemingly require the plaintiff to stay up at night after the kids were put to bed to talk, whereas this dynamic did not occur before Wilde's absence.
"The subject matter of these late-night conversations with Sudeikis naturally evolved to speaking about Wilde which Plaintiff felt compelled to engage in despite creating extreme anxiety to her as she ostensibly felt she had to 'pick sides' between the parents of the children she was ostensibly the primary caretaker."
