Olivia Wilde Slams Mom-Shamers Who Claim She ‘Abandoned’ Her Children After Jason Sudeikis Split: ‘I Share Custody’

usmagazine.com:

Not here for it. Olivia Wilde candidly addressed having haters think she “abandoned” her kids following her split from Jason Sudeikis.“I share custody of my kids with my ex.

People assume I have abandoned my kids, like my kids are just somewhere in a hot car without me,” the Don’t Worry Darling director, 38, told Elle in her November cover story, which was published on Thursday, October 13, referring to her son, Otis, 8, and daughter Daisy, 6. “The suggestion is that I have abandoned my role as a mother.”Wilde noted she is not “photographed” with her children publicly on purpose, adding, “Do you know the lengths that I go to protect my kids from being seen by you?”The actress previously slammed the double standards about her parenting. “The last two years, my family has gone through this kind of restructuring and a revolution that should be a totally personal experience,” she shared with Variety in August. “And it’s not.

The most painful element of it has been women shaming me for making a decision that was for my own health and happiness.”Wilde continued: “When people see me not with my kids, it’s always ‘How dare she.’ I’ve never seen anyone say that about a guy.

And if he is with his kid, he’s a f–king hero.”The House alum first became a parent when she and then-fiancé Sudeikis, 45, welcomed their son in April 2014.
