As someone in the non-profit industry, those “formal pledges” have exactly as much legal weight as pinkie promises. You don’t send someone to collections for not donating to charity.

Wait....if I pay the ACLU millions of dollars, they’ll ghost write whatever I want without any type of fact checking?

Especially if she promised them a donation. That's skeevy. 

Well, you keep your side eye on him. I’ll have mine on her for being in a position where it has escalated enough to where the man you had two children with has to have you served to deal with a custody issue.

This trash article is really a shining example of what the AV Club has become. 

It’s an older burn, sir, but it checks out.

Jokes like this make me miss the old AV Club somethin’ awful.

This is dumb and written by someone that doesn’t know what they are talking about. Attorney here, and it can likely be assumed that prior efforts were made, most likely just directly contacting her attorney which is BY FAR the easiest thing to do: simply send them an acceptance via email for counsel’s signature. Takes…

How about don’t fucking cheat on your spouse in the first place? TF kind of take is this anyway.

This is...not a good article. You can’t blame Jason Sudeikis for this. First of all, he would have had nothing to do with hiring a process server. Second of all, even the lawyer who hired the process server doesn’t tell the process server how to serve the papers, and even if she did, she has a responsibility to her…

Yes, WHY DOES HUGHES HATE THE WORKING CLASS?!

As I said in another reply, I’m a Judicial Officer (at State level). In Brazil and other countries of the “Civil Law” system it’s people like me who serve papers (among other things). The main difference is that while process servers are private professionals, Judicial Officers are governamental employees, which gives…

distancing the Ted Lasso star from the process server’s infiltration of the event

I gotta echo the others, this is a pretty awful take. She had to have been ducking. She shouldn’t special privilege. If you dodge a process server, they’re gonna take whatever steps they have to to get you.

Also, you know, don’t cheat on your husband with the star of your movie maybe?

this is a fine example of a gender biased bad take (that would be a bad take regardless of the gender of the recipient of the service, but is in this case _clearly_ all about gender as the author makes clear in the text.  the same author would be cheering if it was Ms. Wilde having Mr. Sudeikis)

I mean, getting served is never fun, and it’s probably pretty embarrassing to have it done like this. But it’s hardly a great monstrous achievement-ruining indignity either. Olivia Wilde’s a grown woman and a successful writer-actor-director, I’m fairly certain she’ll overcome the mild temporary embarrassment of being…

Garbage person forced to deal with consequences of their infidelity.  Waaah.

LOL, they changed the headline on the front page to make it PG.

If her lawyers accepted service, then this would not have happened.

Awful take. A public server only servers you in public like this if you have been repeatedly ducking them to avoid being served.
