In response to Jason's actions, Olivia filed new court documents as part of the case, which were obtained by DailyMail earlier this week

She wrote in the court papers: “Jason’s actions were clearly intended to threaten me and catch me off guard. He could have served me discreetly, but instead he chose to serve me in the most aggressive manner possible.”

Jason, 46, and Olivia, 38, married in 2011 and share two children, welcoming son Otis in 2014, and their daughter Daisy two years later.

The former couple had shared custody of their children since divorcing in 2020, however, their agreement seemingly turned sour after the actress' alleged plans to move to London.

The Booksmart director went on to claim that the Ted Lasso actor was purposefully bringing their personal life into the limelight, branding the action a "threat".

"The fact that Jason would embarrass me professionally and put our personal conflict on public display in this manner is extremely contrary to our children’s best interests,” she continued.

“Since Jason has made it clear that we will not be able to work this out for our children’s sake outside of the court system, I filed a petition for custody in Los Angeles.”

Olivia and Jason are yet to release public statement regarding the custody battle.
