Olivia Wilde 'gave dog away to spend more time with Harry Styles', ex nanny claims

Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis' former nanny has accused the Don't Worry Darling director of 'giving away her dog' to 'spend more time with Harry Styles'.

The claim comes amid an onslaught of allegations by the former couple's nann y - which Jason and Olivia have branded "false and scurrilous".

The pair, who broke up in 2020, deny everything their former employee said in a tell-all interview, but the stories are still coming.

Now, the ex-nanny, who is thought to have worked for the couple for over three years, says Olivia gave away her beloved pet pooch 'within weeks of meeting Harry Styles'.

She alleges that Olivia gave away the dog, called Gordon, to 'spend more free time' with her now chart-topping singer boyfriend.

The Mirror has contacted Olivia's reps for a comment.

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.

"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."

It comes after Olivia jokingly revealed the ingredients for her infamous 'special' dressing which her former nanny claimed caused a huge row with her ex Jason Sudeikis.

The nanny, who chose to remain anonymous, alleged that Jason once became 'enraged after Olivia tried to leave their home to visit her now-boyfriend Harry Styles with a salad and her special dressing'.

She claimed, moments later, Ted Lasso star Jason was 'so distraught' he 'threw himself in front of her car so she wouldn’t leave'.

The Hollywood stars called their ex-employee's stories "incredibly upsetting" in a statement to The Mirror, but it appears Olivia has since referenced the story on Instagram.

Taking to her Stories earlier this morning, she shared a salad recipe.

Sharing a photo from Nora Ephron’s book ' Heartburn,' the recipe read: "Mix 2 tablespoons Grey Poupon with 2 tablespoons good red wine vinegar.

"Then, whisk constantly with a fork, slowly add 6 tablespoons olive oil, until the vinaigrette is thick and creamy; this makes a very strong vinaigrette that’s perfect for salad greens like arugula and watercress and endive."

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 hit-maker Harry first started circulating in January 2021 after they were seen holding hands at Jeff Azoff’s wedding in California.
