Take a look at what weirdo alicescarf posted. Methinks she doth protest too much or she herself is projecting as she frequently makes sexual comments about IG. I’m thinking this must be exactly what is going on with her rather than the fans she’s accusing.

Yes, that debacle. Drama Queen to the max, wouldn’t you say?
I already can't find the post above where someone said he blocked her and that's why
Well, this is the 2nd time that he terribly misjudged how to interact with fans. The first time (in the 2000s) - while he did generally the right thing to keep a distance - he ended up insulting his own fans and sunk his best marketing tool for nothing just to please his wife, and then doubled down on this in an interview.
This time he tried to be more open to fans (starting in 2014) and made a specific sector of them believe that they are close and special, and it was obvious that this would end bad: they were starting to moan about him not being as active on Social Media as he used to be already 2-3 years ago. Never ever give fans these sort of expectations. It WILL backfire.
I hope he has learned his lessons now, and stays away from fans bar the general thank you message every celeb does. Anything else just will end badly, that's why almost no serious celeb does this shit. He actually had the right idea years ago by keeping a distance and ignoring shit, so without the driving force behind both debacles in the picture he may be able to make smarter decisions.
I definitely believe there are lessons to be learned, like we all have learned in different areas of our lives. But I also believe that it is likely that none of us have ever been in his shoes and even if we were, the exact circumstances would be different (like being single and dating lots of women, or being married but having an understanding wife, maybe no kids. IDK just different because we're all different). We all handle trials in our lives differently and I think it's easy to sit back and say, "I would do this or that differently." I think if we all put ourselves in his shoes at that time of IOL we may think he did the right thing. I don't think his letter back then was bad. Sure, I'm sure it hurt the fans but really, what was he to do? He chose his fiancé over his fans. Can you blame him? At that time, he thought she was the love of his life. I thought his letter to IOL was to the point and professional. He did thank the people who were being kind and NOT speaking badly of AE.
And now? You can't blame him for trying to perhaps right the wrong that he did in 2006/7. To let Alice handle fandom, that way there would likely be no trouble like was in IOL. Of course it backfired with them turning against him. Sometimes you're just trying g to do the right thing and shit keeps happening.
Yes, he was financial backing IOL but the moderators/admins should have ousted the people who were trashtalking AE back then. I mean c'mon, how did it get that bad? If Ioan was paying for it, they shouldn't have allowed those comments. Of course I don't know all the details so I can't say that wasn't attempted. Just my two cents on that.
