The internet is replete with opinions on what happened in the latest celebrity drama starring director and actress Olivia Wilde and former Saturday Night Live alum Jason Sudeikis, and yet many questions remain. Did Sudeikis really ask for Wilde, the mother of his children, to be served custody papers while she was onstage at the CinemaCon convention? Do we believe the Ted Lasso star, who is beloved for his nice-guy character, when his representatives say he thinks the whole incident was » inappropriate «? In an effort to answer these questions, NPR spoke with Bill Falkner, owner of Clark County Process Service, based in Las Vegas, where Wilde was served. (His firm did not serve Wilde.) Falkner admits that processors can go to great, and sometimes strange, lengths to deliver legal documents on behalf of their clients. «I’ve seen some odd things,» Falkner, who has been in the business since 2015, told NPR over the phone. But, he concedes, this incident was more public than anything he has ever seen. (More than 4,000 industry people were reportedly in the audience, watching as it all went down.) The manner in which the Wilde-Sudeikis case was handled makes Falkner «curious about what other methods and what other attempts had been made» to serve Wilde prior to the onstage drama. «I have never come across a client or been involved in a serve where this would be the first thing we do,» he explained.
