Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis are shutting down claims from their former nanny about the details surrounding the pair's split and the beginnings of Wilde's relationship with Harry Styles.
After the actors' former nanny alleged several new details about Wilde and Sudeikis' breakup in an interview with the Daily Mail, Wilde and Sudeikis are calling the accusations "false and scurrilous" in a joint statement shared with PEOPLE.
"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," the former couple said. "Her now 18 month long campaign of harassing us, as well as loved ones, close friends and colleagues, has reached its unfortunate apex."
"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."
The nanny for Sudeikis and Wilde's two kids, daughter Daisy, 5, and son Otis, 8, alleged in the interview that Sudeikis was blindsided and "brokenhearted" by Wilde's new relationship, sharing that there was "a lot of crying" after learning of the romance.
