Don’t know if anyone has followed this, but she had an arrest warrant issued today for failing to appear in court for breaching a restraining order he has for domestic abuse. Their poor children seem like an afterthought.

She is unhinged and either is too arrogant to listen to anyone or has no family or friends who would have helped steer her away from the public spectacle she has made of herself.

i can’t see any man wanting to be with her after this.

Fabellini · 28/01/2023 00:58

I can understand why he had the restraining order issued though - her social media posting about him has been relentless.
She doesn’t come across as a well person at all. I feel very bad for their children too.

That’s why women exist, after all…

There are dreadful sites gleeful in her downfall. I don’t condone her behaviour, I think she needs support but their poor kids.

Well that's escalated. I hadn't followed anything for a few months. There was a thread here, later deleted.

Domestic abuse? I remember we thought she must have been asked to stop harassing his new girlfriend and him online, but I didn't know of a restraining order.

ambientrock · 28/01/2023 02:15

She's been very quiet on social media.

MarshaMelrose · 28/01/2023 02:19

He behaved badly. She's behaved badly. Couldn't give a tinkers about either of them.
But if you're public figures, before you cheat think about the effect on your kids. And if you're going to behave psychotically, have a thought for what you're making your children suffer through.
What a couple of losers.

iminvestednow · 28/01/2023 02:27

People fall out of love, it’s shit, but it happens. Accusing the other half of all sorts without foundation publicly over social media is not acting in the best interests of your children. She has used her children in the most abhorrent way possible. If things are bad it’s our job to make sure the kids are ok, and protect them from it. it’s never ok to make them take sides or to post about the children openly online.

PinkPupZ · 28/01/2023 02:28

They've both made a mess of this. IG flaunting BW around so soon didn't help. Men can go off and desert their families and, if the women has a devastated/emotional response, they are simply framed as bitter or not putting the kids first. How about it can be a normal reaction to the shitstorm of betrayal? How about spouses (almost always men) didn't sleep around or stuck to the marriage vows ans put their kids first?

Lovethatforyou · 28/01/2023 03:17

No evidence IG cheated, that’s Alice’s unreliable narrative.

He is a victim of domestic abuse. The only person who has evidently behaved terribly here is Alice Evans.

Having followed Alice on social media for years, kept up with the case and read all the court docs, my sympathies lie with Ioan and the two girls. Alice is awful.

Somebatshitteryonhere · 28/01/2023 03:50

There is no evidence loan cheated and he didn’t abandon his kids he was fighting for custody. I don’t feel it’s sensible to believe everything Alice says as the one version of the truth. And people are allowed to end their marriages if they are unhappy and they are allowed to habe new relationships.

for me, if Alice behaves like this publicly , then it’s a concern what she does in private. There will be two sides to this, and if you look at the court docs for loans side of the story, it is unsettling. . It effectively details domestic abuse and alcoholism.

I recall one of their parents saying the marriage had been over for a very long time,before they even publicly split.

I don’t know where this will end up. But I’ve read some of the stuff she has posted on line and it’s horrible. So I can easily believe it is and was much worse behind closed doors.

Totally agree and it seems around womenswear menapasual age they get dumped.

StarsSand · 28/01/2023 07:38

They've both behaved badly. I feel so sad for the children.

Mylaferret · 28/01/2023 07:57

No evidence ioan cheated and they'd been split up for over a year before he got together with BW. Alice was treating ioan like shit long before they split - old Instagram posts of her taking photos of him half dressed and asleep in bed and putting them on social media when he had apparently asked her not to (the captions were usually things like "he's not going to be happy with this when he wakes up but oh well!"

Mylaferret · 28/01/2023 07:58

MrsPelligrinoPetrichor · 28/01/2023 07:48

Yep 🙄😢

You must have missed the fact that he's having to fight for every scrap of contact with his children and Alice is trying to alienate them from him.

Well; he stuck it out for quite a few years before leaving. I think he gave it every chance he could but she is just unhinged and incredibly hard work. As for ‘putting marriage vows first’ would you recommend that to a woman suffering with an unhinged husband?

His new girlfriend, while younger, is quite significantly disabled and they’ve been together a while now so I don’t think it’s all about sex or chasing the birds.

I can understand her being bitter and acting out at the beginning when it’s all a shock but it’s been long enough now that things should have settled and she should be thinking long term about how to co-parent and provide a sane home for their kids. She isn’t, she’s just lost the plot.

Absolutely this. So many people very willing to agree with her narrative and opinion.

Good on the courts for recognising her abuse of him.

And yet you've posted this on a website, prompting a discussion where people are inevitably going to do similar?!

MeinKraft · 28/01/2023 08:07

There comes a stage where you lose sympathy for her tbh. This time last year I felt sorry for her making an exhibition of herself and it was all desperately sad. By this stage she should have had a go at sorting her issues out.

Outtasteamandluck · 28/01/2023 08:09

He's a pathetic excuse and thinks he's something he's not.

But yes she hasn't helped herself. She has dragged their dirty laundry through social media in an attempt to garner sympathy.

She won't be the first or the last woman to be left. It happens. For the sake of the children, probably best to deal with in private.
