Alice is determined to be as disruptive to Ioan’s life as possible because she is a narcissistic psychopath (other variants are available). Not because he is with Bianca. If he had stayed single she would still have refused access for some reason. If he met someone after a period suitable for the pearl clutchers, Alice would claim she was stopping them get back together.
The cost of the divorce is locked in. It always was, she was playing games and delaying before Bianca. Ioan will need to see it through. He is financially more resilient than Alice. At the most basic level if he did a convention he would get at least 10x her fees. He has far more conventions he can do with bigger crowds. He can afford this divorce and he has no choice.
If he backed off now, imagine the shit and abuse she would restart.
Once he has this criminal case under his belt, he can keep reporting and she will be risking higher and higher penalties.
Finally Alice doesn’t do political debate. She doesn’t understand politics. She does angry tribalism with no thought of outcome. Politics is about persuasion and compromise. Not hurling opinions and abuse at people who you want to influence into change. She is as stupid and angry as those on the right wing.
