Ioan Gruffudd & Alice Evans #229 The day that Ioan realised she was totally and utterly bonkers

[Loveu2]

These are really cute replies to Bianca's bowling post.

Meanwhile in Casa Evans,

 

[WinterSolstice]

Was her therapist Perez Hilton by any chance

Is it possible the therapy session involved several bottles of rosé

 

[Bridgeofsighs]

I went last week on her tiktok and noticed that the user she interacts most with is someone with a errr pretty explicit username

It's not obvious who she is on tiktok. I suppose Alice could put parental controls on the iphone but realistically kids will know how to take that off. I think schools cover online safety in their curriculum nowadays.

I've used my computer hacking skills AGAIN and have managed to steal YET ANOTHER excerpt from Alice's forthcoming self-published book, "He Left Me For A Bogan".

It also looks like the front cover is properly designed now, instead of having someone throw it together in three minutes in PowerPoint (ahem).

I have known Alice Evans for four years now, with our friendship beginning shortly after her marriage to the actor Ioan Gruffudd spectacularly imploded.

Their story began as a picture-perfect couple, young actors showing equal promise and a matching, almost impossible, beauty. The deal was sealed with a New Year’s Eve proposal delivered via a Cartier engagement ring set into an ice cube in a Mojito cocktail.

‘Angel, will you do the marrying thing?’ were the fond words chosen that night in Cuba. It ended with a howl of pain, and accusations of lies, ‘gaslighting’ and ‘mental torture’ made via Twitter in the small hours.

Indeed, the drama surrounding the sudden collapse of Ioan Gruffudd’s 13-year-marriage to actress Alice Evans would scarcely be out of place in one of the twisted domestic dramas he has starred in.

And we at the Daily Mail have been here for it all! We’ve published story after story about this salacious saga, without bothering to verify the facts, or any of Alice’s claims. Our failure to fact-check anything even resulted in our having to make a donation to an MS charity on behalf of Bianca Wallace, after we published a story which defamed her. We couldn’t even be bothered to print Bianca’s correct age in many of our articles. We've also been happy to print intrusive photos of Alice’s minor children too, as she gave us the permission to do so.

And even though we printed (and still continue to print) many of Alice’s claims and other mistruths – such as that Alice had no money to pay her rent because Ioan left Alice penniless; that Ioan didn’t want to see his children; that Ioan was having an affair with Ella Newton; and that Bianca was Alice’s friend, which made it worse that she was having an “affair” with Ioan behind Alice’s back – we won't bother investigating any of Alice's further false claims. Who needs facts and the truth, when you can just write any old bollocks and hit “publish”?

It was a challenge to get this book published, as you might imagine. So to get around those challenges, Alice didn’t run it by any lawyers, and no fact-checking was carried out. This is known as the Daily Mail Process. Hopefully the book won’t have to get withdrawn from sale and pulped! During my support of Alice and bringing her stories – her truth – to the press, I have also faced criticism from a US lawyer who shall remain nameless (her name rhymes with “Vandrea Turkhart”). These are the sorts of bullies I am up against, when I did nothing wrong apart from lie about how I obtained some court documents, and then lied again by claiming I had emailed them to the aforementioned lawyer.

During these past four years, I have seen Alice make great strides with her life. She now only drinks several bottles of rosé a week instead of several a day. She now buys ten things off eBay a week instead of 30. She now takes the dog for a walk a couple of times a week instead of rarely ever. She has managed to not publicly call Bianca a “bogan” from her official social media accounts for over two years now (although that record is considerably shorter if you take Alice’s Twitter sock accounts into consideration, but look, nobody’s perfect).

I am proud to call Alice my friend. I can honestly say she is the most tenacious, forthright, fearless, energetic, loud, forgetful and yes… loving person I’ve ever met. She doesn’t care if she’s bound by a domestic violence restraining order. She doesn’t cow to emails from her husband’s lawyers, or even her own lawyers. Nobody can tell her what to do. She never admits her mistakes. What admirable qualities for someone in their mid-50s going through a huge life-change. Alice really is the patron saint of wronged wives. A shining example of how to act after your husband decides he doesn’t want to remain married to you for the rest of his life.

So yes Alice, here’s to four more years of our friendship! As long as you continue to provide drama so that the Daily Mail can print stories about it and make money off that ad revenue, I’ll always be here for you, and will always have your back.

Alice, I salute your courage, your strength and your indefatigability.

Please note that this book is published in Alice’s favourite font, Gill Sans. It is her favourite font because it reflects the fact that Alice’s ex-mother-in-law is no longer in her life.

This is brilliant. I wish I could love this a thousand times over.

I notice under the Joint Statement of Disputed Issues there is this statement:

"...The PMA confirms the contents then existing at the Family Residence as
well as some jewelry are Petitioner's sole and separate property, and to the extent such items still
exist, they would be Petitioner's sole and separate property, regardless of their current value..."

Does that include that leopard skin monstrosity over the Blue carpet? Please say it ain't so Ioan! HAHAHAHHHAAA

Look at those cream curtains. The dust that must be caught in the bunched up trailing lengths. This would drive me INSANE!

 

[I'm not actually here]

I’ve been thinking about what’s going on with Ella, and the disapprobation she still receives on these threads sometimes.
I teach psychology to pre-U students - one of my many hats. I won’t go into axons and dendrons; but I think it’s important to bear in mind what happens to the brain as a child reaches adolescence. In short, it’s Armageddon. Grey matter decreases; white matter increases. The brain refolds itself, trimming away extraneous matter. Neurons and neuronal activity increases. Emotions run riot. A teenager’s social state reflects directly on her mental state, and vice versa. Lifelong tendencies to depression and addiction are established during the teen years. Ella has been going through years of hell. We only see the carnage of Casa Evans from a distance. Ella is in the middle of it.
Alice referred to the girls as her ‘life’s work’. IG, for the sake of his own sanity - and I don’t think it would be pushing the envelope through the sorting-office wall to say ‘existence’ - left Ella at the worst possible time in her development, because Alice left him no choice in so doing. She was on the cusp of young adulthood, where, as mentioned above, the brain goes through sizeable and unalterable changes. Physical development, menstruation - with its huge challenges, not the least of which means a young woman realises her capacity for fertility and has to guard against it, plus all the predatory behaviour from the males of the species it brings - and, as a Harvard study suggests, cycling through every single human emotion once every twenty four hours… plus the nightmare of a manipulative and damaging mother-figure who punishes where she should praise, and praises where she should punish.
Ella should have been allowed to follow the normal maturation process, i.e. begin to separate herself from the mother figure and explore her own identity. (Usually, this involves a lot of slammed doors, ‘I hate you’, and competition.) Instead, she was forced to believe she could ‘change’ and counsel her own father. She had to witness her mother’s incessant drunkenness, alarming behaviour, and experience foulmouthed abuse. Ella endured endless tales of her father’s apparent betrayal, to the extent she became brainwashed against him. Then, at a time when she should have been indulging in customary adolescent risk-taking and social interaction, she was pulled from school and wider society for an entire year and isolated with an abusive, substance-addicted woman. God knows how many hours Alice worked on Ella. And God only knows what Alice claimed, given her unfamiliarity with the truth. I wouldn’t be surprised if Evans claimed IG perpetrated the most vile and horrific crimes in an effort to get Ella onside.
What seems to be forgotten is just how young Ella is. Her shocking behaviour during the sleepover is not that of an adult, but a much younger child. Older adolescents may have indulged in a bit of arson and/or criminal damage. Ella threw around groceries and ran away. The account of her behaviour by the psychiatrist is more reminiscent of a nine-year-old - and the judge saw it.
Because she has been simultaneously infantilised and parentified, she has been forced into the position whereby she feels responsible for Alice, yet has absolutely no compulsion to mature. Her various crimes - hacking into his IG and posting infantile messages, stealing $400 for Christmas presents - are the actions of a much younger person. Her height is irrelevant. She’s a damaged, disturbed kid who has been kept in a near-hostage situation. She has had no chance to develop at her own speed, and her enforced isolation ensures she’s infantilised.
She’s not beyond hope, though. The therapist with whom she is working will be making sizeable changes. By appealing to her immaturity, they will hopefully be able to instill in her the foundations for responsible, mature adulthood. But it is incredibly difficult to undo that much manipulation, estrangement and faux-adoration. Pushing her down the model route, so that Alice can be a Kardashian-style momager, is a catastrophic mistake. While Ella is undoubtedly a beautiful girl, she has neither the maturity nor resilience to cope with the dark, cutthroat, shallow and insincere world of modelling.
I think IG knows all this, which is why he hasn’t given up hope. It may take years for Ella to grow up and wake up to what has been done to her, but he will always be ready to welcome her home. She is a desperately wounded soul who needs understanding and compassion, no matter how vilely she has behaved. It is best not to judge her by adult standards, but see her as the wounded, manipulated child that she is.

(Apologies for the essay. Returning to lurking - depression. Love to all.)

Fascinating. I wonder how many people here are now re-assessing their childhood/teens because of your post.. I know I am. Thank you.

I know (or perhaps it was entirely intentional) that the user meant metaphorically and not physically but I still lol’ed. I also tried to look up the exact saying and again, I lol’ed.

You all think you’re so funny don’t you?
I’m going to find out who you are*, each and every one of you twattle turds muhahahahaha

She looks like she could be a Star Trek alien there what with the turtle nostrils and that weird smile.

I think because Ella is so tall, people forget she’s still so young (I also had the same issue growing up due to my height).

She was 10/11 when this all started, and she’s only 14 now.

Yup, I knew a 15 year old boy (family all had growth problems) who was 6'7"; he might have looked like a fully grown man in all respects but he was still a child emotionally and people kept forgetting that.

This is exactly what I think and wanted to articulate but could never be as succinct and clear as what you’ve written. Thank you for writing this and I hope it helps people show more empathy to a young girl who has been dealt a rough hand xx

It’s the fact that they are endangered with Alice. Not endangered enough for social services to step in, as we’ve discussed at length, but enough that a multidisciplinary bunch of folk have been ordered by the judge to look deeply into things. Then for the judge to determine how to safely extract them from this mess….at great cost by the man the court legally deems a victim of AFE.

 

[Old Soak]

Hey Alice. Santa called. He said to remind you that you can keep the belt until November 1st 2024. It’s a loaner and he wants it back.

The black clothes still does not hide the thick waist that comes from imbibing too much. She sure is built like line backer. Slap a football uniform on her and sign her up.

 

[Citney]

the worst time to leave (TM) is believed to be between 6 and 12 years old, because the older you are the more you are used to a certain stability (though tbh this case should have been easier, given that Ioan was working so much abroad anyway), so very small kids are not badly affected (this of course can differ, 4 year olds can also be old enough to feel a stability and have enough memories etc) but you are not old/mature enough to understand the dynamics of a seperation, and even if you then years later become theoretically old enough for that (and this has been partially the case with Ella, otherwise she wouldnt have came up with the lame insult of "mom should have left you" last year) your impression you gathered from that young age will remain rather than a more mature reflection taking place.

So in a sense he did chose the worst possible moment, also with Covid and stuff in the mix, but there is never a best moment when leaving an abusive relationship.

edit: a piece on that matter https://www.healthline.com/health/parenting/effects-of-divorce-on-children

Since Ioan left with just the clothes he was wearing means something happened that day that proved he could never live in the same house with her again. Alice had to have done something that was unforgivable in Ioan’s eyes.

Sure, if you wanna see her get arrested.

And hasn’t been in her company since until she was trying to get an DVRO via Ella.

. I have realised that I have the same size feet as Alice. I can understand why there might have been some questionable footwear choices in her early days of fame. It was so hard in those days to get decent shoes (disclaimer, I never stuck bows to my canoes) . However, these days, i can get pretty much any style I want online, so she’s without excuse. Her bad footwear is on her.

Her blue soft furnishings, teamed with leopard print and baby pink, as well has her layered rug looks are a sight to behold.

I wanted to ask if AE & Amanda Abbington were friends. I felt like I had seen someone post on here about the two of them. From what I’ve read, they both give me very similar vibes. A stranger posted a warm message to AA on social media and she replied ‘thank you, angel’. It seemed so gushy and completely over the top. I wasn’t very sympathetic when I read about her alleged ptsd that a friend claimed she experienced during strictly. I didn’t want to unfairly judge her. However, if she’s friends with Alice, my judgements are probably correct

 

[BessieNessie]

I’m going to get shot down for this but can we stop talking about the kids like this? It’s possible they read here. We know A does. I get the interest but people have said they don’t like Big E and don’t think she’ll turn out well and I absolutely hate that she might see that. Comments like that about the kids really makes tattle sound exactly like what A accuses it of. A bullying site.

It’s uncomfortable but Alice keeps putting them centre stage and using them as weapons in her hate campaign so it’s unavoidable. The oldest plays an active role in it in a really hateful way so she’s naturally going to get some flack for that.

Remember we’re commenting on behaviour and media content that they’re putting out publicly to be commented on and judging by how spiteful some of that is, popularity isn’t much of a concern.

even with the weight loss she still is unattractive. Ugly heart,erc…. But yes she needs a full makeover. Her wardrobe, makeup and hair choices are terrible.

I posted about Amanda Abbington when Strictly started. I used her as an example of someone of a similar age who had managed to pick herself up and get on with her life after the end of a long relationship. I don't think that there's any link with Alice.

I must say that I didn't warm to her on her stint on Strictly. As you say, she's very gushy and OTT.
