For context, their custody battle privately kicked off six months prior to this in October 2021, when Jason filed a petition in New York City asking for their children — Otis and Daisy — to be based there. This conflicted with Olivia’s request for the kids to live between Los Angeles and London, where her new partner Harry Styles was based.
When Jason’s petition was ultimately dismissed in July 2022, legal filings revealed that Olivia believed her ex had orchestrated the CinemaCon stunt to embarrass her. In response, Jason said that “the process server had only done her job” but that he “deeply” regretted how it unfolded.
A month later, Olivia addressed the CinemaCon moment for a second time during an interview with Sex-scenes-dont-worry-darling-1235347929/” target=”_blank”>Variety. Speaking about Jason more scathingly than ever before, she told the outlet that serving her publicly was a “vicious” attempt to “sabotage” her moment and must’ve “required forethought.”
And the custody battle didn’t end there. After Olivia filed a petition to “determine parental relationship in Superior Court of California,” Jason attempted to have the entire case relocated to New York. The request was ultimately unsuccessful, and a New York magistrate ruled in March that the case should be heard in California.
This milestone proved just how contentious things had become between the pair. On March 24, after Jason lost his case, sealed legal documents emerged including claims from Olivia’s lawyers that Jason’s request to relocate was an attempt to “litigate” her “into debt.”
Despite Olivia and Jason being photographed looking cordial with their kids in January, the leaked documents indicated that the dynamic between the exes was anything but friendly, with Olivia accusing Jason of acting in “bad faith” throughout their entire custody battle.
