Jason Sudeikis and Olivia Wilde have won their long fight with their former nanny. Ericka Genaro walked away with nothing, according to reports.

The former couple has now gone to a judge in New York. They want parts of an arbitration decision that went their way made official.

How it started

Genaro filed suit against the two in California in February 2023. She said she was fired unfairly.

She claimed her child care duties grew after the couple split. She said that left her very stressed and anxious.

She also said Sudeikis let her go after she asked for three days of medical leave.

The fight over where

Jason and Olivia pushed back. They said Genaro had signed a confidentiality deal that sent any job disputes to private arbitration in New York instead of a court in California.

A California judge agreed with them. The case was moved to arbitration in New York.

The ruling

The arbitrator rejected every one of her eight claims and gave her no damages.

The arbitrator also ruled that she knowingly broke her confidentiality agreement. Jason and Olivia were awarded more than $1.27 million for damages, legal fees and costs.

They are not trying to collect that money in the new filing because Genaro has filed for bankruptcy.

What comes next

The arbitration is finished. If the judge signs off on the main rulings, the drawn-out case could finally be near its end.
