Ioan Gruffudd daughter in news

Again this is in the news with him getting a restraining order. I always thought Alice was nuts but I've been reading that Ioan isn't as nice as he makes out. And those silly staged pics of him and his girlfriend.

Ioan has a RO against Alice Evans. The courts don't hand them out on just "he said, she said" evidence. It has to be proved . Actually proved with texts, recordings and witness statements.

Ioan was awarded one against Alice. The judge offered five years but Ioan opted for only three. She has behaved appallingly and has prevented Ioan seeing the children at every turn. The evidence is all in court documents.

The restraining order was to stop AE posting her ranty and borderline defamatory posts on SM. It wasn’t like the restraining order handed out to domestic violence perps. She was stalking IG online, not in person. But some of you have run with it and said that IG is a victim of DV. Don’t make me laugh…

If my DH left me for another woman, I would not have to poison my teenage DDs against him. They would be old enough to hate him all by themselves because of the hurt he’d have caused to me and our family.

Absolutely- kids aren't stupid!

The SM posts, to be fair, needed to stop. They seem to have done and she's toned it down so much.

It's a pity Ioan didn't see the girls for over a year. It won't have helped his relationship with them.

This is an arranged pap walk of Ioan and Bianca the day after the incident with Ella. Do you honestly think seeing this is in Ella’s best interests? Do you honestly think this is an acceptable response to putting a child in a situation which she has repeatedly said she didn’t want to be in, and which Ioan knew had a high risk of ending badly?

What a fucking shit show.

Agreed!

I’m not sure it does pale into insignificance, actually. Certainly not from the perspective of his daughters.

Both parents have caused the children pain and distress. Both of them are selfish and not putting the needs of the children first.

It really doesn’t matter who the bigger culprit is, neither of their parents are prioritising them.

This sends the message loud and clear to his children that his gf is more important than them. Neither parent covers themselves in glory. At least Alice is there.

cobicat · 10/06/2023 07:55

Alice evans seems like a broken angry woman pushed to her limit to me. Yes even to the point of craziness.
If he really thought her so bad he should have not left his kids with her.
Frankly I don't believe a word of his shit.

I tend to agree and I think the Depp/Heard comparison is a suitable one. IG has steadily goaded Alice into lunacy - only to step back and pretend to be the calm, measured one. She is an unbalanced menopausal mess, but he is scheming and selfish.

If that was the holiday to Wales to see his family, I think A was preventing visitation after visitation at this stage. Maybe he selfishly wanted a holiday, I expect he would have loved to take the girls.

I am sure he is not perfect but I think he has behaved with massive restraint.

Yes, the restraint of an abuser who silently twists the knife into your psyche then sits back and watches you screaming in agony without saying a single word.

Freefall212 · 10/06/2023 08:49

Good grief, Alice and her minions are out in full force on here today.

This is just pathetic.

On every single thread I have ever read about this, anyone who either is empathetic towards Alice or critical of Ioan, is assumed to be “Alice and her minions”.

It’s unhinged and paranoid.

It is a serious discussion. Sorry that not everyone here agrees that Alice is the devil and St Ioan is Patron Saint of Fathers.

Yes, this 'Alice and her minions' business says more about the stalkerish obsession some posters seem to have with this case than anything else.

Tbf, this was a very hyperbolic statement to make about somebody else's life.

Anyone who has read the facts of the case and has at least average intelligence would not be on here supporting Alice unless they are part of her inner circle.

And yes, she is known for this. She and her friends / team keep search for mention of their names and then swoop in and inundate threads with pro Alice and anti Ioan content.

It is all part of the hate / harrassment campaign she has against Ioan / Bianca. I am sure she appreciates your service in helping her spread hate.

Shhhquirrel · 10/06/2023 09:58

How do you know this for a fact @Freefall212, you could just as easy be one of his supporters?

AutumnColours9 · 10/06/2023 10:02

I don't understand why IG insisted on introducing B to the girls. Surely it was obvious they weren't ready for this?

Shhhquirrel · 10/06/2023 09:58

Because it has been documented in court.

And I not posting hate about anyone or really support about anyone. I am interested in the case for the facts and what has been made public via court as well as their own words and actions (not as reported on social media by the other). When people come in and viciously and hatefully attack Ioan and praise Alice - that is not based on a single fact in this case. That is her approach and why he got a restraining order. Anyone who actually has read the court documents could not be so stupid as to then take that position if the can read and process English.

Who here is doing that? Some posters (far less invested in the minutiae of this case than yourself) are just suggesting that there are two sides to this story and IG isn't the saint he is being presented as.

With respect, you sound unhealthily involved - I would really recommend taking a step back

No, I don’t think so. You don’t get to decide how people come to their own viewpoint on issues. I‘m not even supportive of Alice, but I can respect that not everyone sees things the way I do. When you’re at the point of actually believing people who don’t agree with you are Alice or her “inner circle”, that is a sign you should perhaps take a break from the internet for a bit.

She and her friends / team keep search for mention of their names and then swoop in and inundate threads with pro Alice and anti Ioan content.

This is surely projection, right, because this is exactly what you and the rest of the super fans at Tattle do - search for any mention of their names online and bombard the comments with pro Ioan anti Alice content.

The only people with a “hate/harassment campaign” are you and the rest of the super fans over at Tattle. I can’t believe you have been able to bully and humiliate a woman with impunity online for years now, tearing her looks, weight, mental health apart. And now you’ve moved on to doing it to her 13 year old daughter. You aren’t better than Alice, you lot are worse.

That was my thinking too

You’ll need to show me where anyone has “viciously and hatefully” attacked Ioan. There have been a handful of threads here about this on MN, and some people don’t think Ioan has prioritised his daughters post seperation the way he should have and the way the need them to.

I can, however, show you 176 threads of pure vicious hate towards Alice Evans. Not even she would be capable of producing such bile. Perhaps you should focus less on Alice and have a look at yourselves.

Do you honestly not see the lunacy of your post?

I’m not Alice, I’m not one of her circle, I’ve never met her, spoke to her, even knew of her before I started seeing some of this stuff online. I’ve been posting on Mumsnet FOR YEARS.

“it is you who are harming the girls”

”Your pure hate helps no one”

”I would suggest you realize that the more you hate and hate and hate and spew your vitriol and anger, all you do is harm the girls”

”The hate Alice and her inner circle have is no different from that of men who inwardly hate women and who harm women and stage campaigns of hate and harrassment against women. You are no different. You and Alice are those men.”

Me?

Look, I find your post really concerning actually. And if you were one of my friends, I’d be urging you to speak to someone.

Are you okay?

Agree. I'm not on the side of either of the parents. There's been some ill judgment on both sides. I'd also like to wait for the result of the hearing for the restraining order before commenting further about Ella.

wayyour · 10/06/2023 11:03

Your pure hate helps no one. Those with so much hate in their heart are not happy. In the end hate won't win. I would suggest you realize that the more you hate and hate and hate and spew your vitriol and anger, all you do is harm the girls.

This sounds a bit odd if you don't mind my saying. I don't think anyone has been invested enough to 'spew vitriol' either.
