“I get through it because, weirdly, as women we’re taught to muscle through the most insane experiences. I was like, ‘Just finish your speech,'” she told Call Her Daddy host Alex Cooper. “[I] got through it, went backstage [and] completely dissolved into a puddle. But then, I thought no one saw it because there’s no phones allowed in this event.”
Despite the film showcase having a no phones policy, the moment blew up online—and even caught the eye of Cruise, to Wilde’s dismay at the time.
“A couple months later, I had the chance [to meet] Tom Cruise,” Wilde said. “And he was like, ‘Hi, I’m Tom. F–ked up what happened to you in Vegas.’ I was like, ‘No!'”
While the Tron: Legacy actress accused Sudeikis of intentionally trying to “embarrass” and “threaten” her with the awkward onstage incident in a court filing a few months later, Wilde now believes that her former fiancé did not intend for her to get served onstage.
“Jason has told me that he did not know,” Wilde told Cooper. “I need to believe that in order to continue.”
