In court this week, think this is the last part of their legal stuff? Anyway, what has really struck me with this is how the Daily Mail have been complicit in her narrative and the abuse he gets. It’s came out in the court she has made 30k from them, selling her stories. I’m aware it’s an absolute rag, but paying someone with an DVRO and running their stories, in an attempt to paint their victim in a negative light is surely low, even by their standards?

I have got no idea about this case or this woman but see these threads pop up from time to time about her.

Do you know how easily messages can be fabricated?

If you care so much about the kids and their privacy/normality, why not leave it alone?

No one knows what really happened. The person who gets believed is usually the calmer, more credible one. Which is often not the innocent party!

This is not one of those examples. There is much video evidence and testimonies of her abusing and threatening other people too. It’s very easy to find.

Chequebook journalism is distasteful and if not banned, maybe there should be a requirement to publish all payments over a certain level.

In all such nasty separation and divorce cases I feel for children who are affected.

It’s really okay to feel for the abused party too you know. So many commenters ‘I feel for the children…’

Yes for sure. But we should be feeling for an abused party too - male or female…

Have you read anything about this case at all?

You’re so far off the mark I think you’re talking about something else.

Woman scored, humiliated....She wants her revenge...wouldnt you?

I was abused by my ex for years and the break up was horrendous. I never once wanted revenge on him. Sure, I wish he’d fuck off and never be heard from again when he does pop up, but it’s never occurred to me to hurt him in any way. All I ever wanted was a calm, happy life where my kids and I weren’t being hurt anymore. I think most people probably want the same in the end.

AE humiliated herself with her behaviour and continues to do so, while dragging her poor innocent children down with her. One day her daughters will realise what a horrible human being she is but by then the damage will have been done.

Which part of ‘she domestically abused him before he left with just the clothes on his back’ have you missed?

He has overpaid to the tune of £400k.

You know this is untrue right? He’s overpaid her to the tune of 400k. And was providing her with 10k a month. Spousal support was reduced but he still pays for the kids. And forensic accountants have shown from her OWN bank accounts she had plenty of money sloshing around.

The fact you believe her lies, when faced with the actual evidence submitted in court, goes to show what she’s done. And the Daily Mail have supported her with it.

Basic reasoning and understanding is all that’s required in this case. Unfortunately some people, for whatever reason, take someone saying ‘I’m poor’ as gospel and ignore her bank records submitted as evidence…

Yes, I have a lot of empathy for the abused party in this scenario as well as the children.

I'm glad he found someone new and has a second chance at being a Dad. He doesn't deserve to have his life ruined forevermore. It's scary the damage one person can do on their own and how some people still can't accept the truth or won't. No justification exists to excuse abuse on that scale.

Some of the Messages were sent through an app called my family wizard which is used in extreme cases of high conflict between parents and can be viewed by lawyers etc.

Also there is video footage taken by the children including Alice telling her kids “they can back her or fuck off”

The child therapy that Ioan pushed for and paid for was interrupted on countless occasion by anlice either refusing to take them or Alice literally storming into the sessions and throwing herself on the floor. This was stated by the therapist.

There are countless videos on YouTube of Alice starting arguments with strangers in public (pre divorce) showing her vile personality and behaviour and the most recent was ring doorbell footage from her neighbour in June last year showing Alice banging on her door at 2am clearly under the influence of something, yelling at the elderly neighbour because she had left a note in Alice’s car asking her to stop blocking her car in. In this clip Alice literally pushes the door open and is trying to barge her way past the elderly lady to enter her apartment.

The long and short of it it, Ioan has been able to back up every claim he’s made about Alice and her behaviour.

Alice hasn’t bought one single piece of evidence to back up any of her wild claims.

Shes a liar and is dangerous.

I think I said earlier that I feel most sorry for the children. I do feel sorry for him too and...I even feel a bit of pity for her, as she is clearly mentally ill and is blowing up her entire life because she is full of rage. But he has escaped now, and although it can't be easy, he does have a new life and good for him. The kids were not as fortunate and they also had zero say in any of it. He was abused and of course I feel empathy for any abuse survivor, but most of all the children.

This is such an awful view and gives women the representation of being the woman scorned and bunny boilers.

Marriages and relationships break down but you must be able to separate the romantic relationship of two adults and the relationship of the parent with the children.

You can walk away from a relationship for any reason that does not mean you’re walking away from being a parent and having someone leave you does not give you the right to use your children as weapons and withold them from their other parents for absolutely no reason.

From your comments you clearly haven’t read the actual facts and proof of the case which aren’t just hearsay or opinions. They’re facts.

Ioan over paid her spousal and child support by 400k and is still paying child and spousal support even though Alice has a domestic violence restraining order against herself for what has been proven in court that she’s done to him.

When she set up her Go fund me saying she needed support for paying her legal bills (even though Ioan was paying them) she had over 100k sat in her bank and ioan was paying her rent. Again this isn’t just hearsay it’s in the factual court documents made by financial investigations etc.

Happyjoe · 28/02/2026 12:24

Didn't the DM paint her out to be mad? Granted I have not looked online at the DM for a couple years but I do remember the article on her painted her to be unhinged.
Am amazed if she went into bed with them, but then that is their kind of style, back people into a corner.

Strong women don't use their children, they protect them.

Her appearance on Lorraine with all the crying, right at the absolute start of this. She came off camera and immediately text him ‘Want more?’. It’s chilling.

I've never understood why she was invited on Lorraine in the first place. She wasn't plugging anything (book, film, fashion line etc) and so why was she given a profile to wash her laundry in public?! Thousands of women in the public eye have got divorced over the last few decades but I don't recall ever reading about them being on chat shows just to discuss their private life.

She could have lived a shiny new life herself. Plenty of us have been heartbroken and just…not done this. Just gotten over it quietly with dignity and strength.

And yet she chose to go down this path. She is a bloated horrible alcoholic drug addicted shell of a person who abuses her kids and literally anyone who is unfortunate enough to cross her path (including her neighbours). Why on earth would anyone choose to live their lives like this?

It was truly strange. I think there was the pandemic influence. People being locked down, her blowing up on the internet so people taking interest.

What I find sad is those people so keen to defend her are also negating her behaviour to her children, in defence of her against her ex husband. There are recordings of her telling the oldest she was being a ‘tedious bitch’ when she was drunk and dismissing her to the nanny to look after her. I think that was the one where it was because the child had asked her not to drink alcohol? So bloody sad and so overlooked by those who want to defend her because her husband (rightly) left her.

She’d asked her mum not to get drunk in the day time on her 12th birthday… and that was the response the poor girl got.

What rubbish.

She is fighting at the detriment of her children, not for them or with them.

Stop excusing vile behaviour as if she is doing it "for the kids". She isn't.

Those of us who have had marriages end can understand her shock.

But continually using and abusing your children's emotions to score points against their father is pathetic, disgraceful and I can 100% say her chickens WILL come home to roost one day.

She isn't standing up for strong women 😂 - she is a great example of a bullying abuser who takes us women back decades with her ridiculous, sad behaviour

Maybe she should have been concentrating on getting a job rather than acting like a crazed abuser?

She should be capable of getting a job, acting work or fan conventions, meet and greets or whatever. She isn’t stuck with lots of tiny children and no resources.

She could have tried to make a new life for herself and the girls in a good way and not go scorched earth and make her and him less employable

Woman scored, humiliated....She wants her revenge...wouldnt you?

So any woman whose partner leaves them is entitled to publicly slander them, drain them financially, abuse them in violation of a court-ordered restraining order, withhold their children, and lie to their children about their other parent?

Uh… no. I think that once a court ruled I was being insane to the point of a legal restraining order, and my children started exhibiting behavioral issues, I would not want “revenge” because I’d realize it had made me into a monster.

If you write a free pass to any woman who didn’t want to divorce, that’s a problem.

Also, the idea that she’s modeling what a “strong woman” is for her daughters - good lord. You think it’s beneficial for them to grow up as tabloid fodder, watching their mother defy court orders, being coached that filing false accusations is fine, being constantly told that they’re on the verge of homelessness and their father won’t help, and being filled with poison towards their father’s new wife? And that’s not even getting into the seeming substance abuse and public fights!

What about that upbringing leads you to think it will produce “strong women”, versus antisocial people maladjusted to daily life?
