There will be no Serving at CinemaCon: Conference Amps Up Security for 2023

[sandstorm]

After Olivia Wilde was served custody papers at CinemaCon, extra layers of security have been put in place to make sure no such hiccups occur this year. Guards will be installed around the stage perimeter, and other officials will lurk in the wings. https://t.co/Dbd77bp7le

Didn't they just put the papers on the stage? Like it wasn't good, but it's not like someone got on the stage and handed them to her or am I misremembering?

I feel like the server could have been stopped with one security guard in front of the stage being like 'wtf are you doing?' Maybe you don't need to put security around the stage and in the wings, just get a few good people who know what they're doing.

Someone came onstage & handed them to her.

Wilde was onstage and ready to show the first footage from her second directorial project, a psychological thriller starring Florence Pugh and Harry Styles. Suddenly, she was handed a mysterious manilla envelope, which was first reported to have had a script inside - soon after, it was reported that the contents of the envelope were actually child custody papers from her former partner, Jason Sudeikis.

No

...no they didn't. They slid it onstage, the process server was not actually on the stage.

Makes sense. I'm sure other celebs' teams would think twice about booking them for this if they knew the security wasn't up to par. Next time it could just as easily be a stalker.

I mean, the server was just doing their job. It was a brilliant idea because it worked!

That video is fantastic, she took it like a champ & I love how most of us had no idea that would be the mess that kept on giving.
