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?

You’d hope the trial might bring an end to it all. Draw a full line under it and perhaps allow her clarity and closure.

An incredibly sad story, the children have really suffered. I do not understand how someone so manipulative and abusive has retained custody of them.

So Alice is fighting this case, presumably knowing all the awful stuff she’s said and done would be put before the court for the whole world to see. Surely no sane person do that?

She bleated on social media that she couldn’t tell her truth because she had a domestic abuse restraining order against her so you’d think now her time had come in court to “prove her innocence” she’d be shouting from the roof tops for people to follow along yet there’s been complete silence from her…..almost as if she’s hoping it was pass by quickly and people won’t look into it and see that she’s actually the abusive lying psychopath she’s been portrait as all along.

I honestly believe she thinks that after the court case is over she can just take to social media and say ‘oh that? None of that was actually true!’ And everyone will believe her. She’s completely deluded.

People will though. Because platforms like the Daily Mail are giving her skewed take on it coverage. You just need to look at the comments to see how much people believe the one sided reporting

I think the tide has turned. Look at the best and worst rated comments on the most recent DM article.

AnAlpacaForChristmasPleaseSanta · 01/03/2026 16:24

Assuming that the order is granted against her I bet she'll be claiming that Ioan paid off the judge with the money she felt she wanted him to give to her instead. Or something that bloody ridiculous anyway.

HazelMaze · 01/03/2026 16:27

It’s hard to explain, but there are people out there who believe reality is way more flexible (and personal) than the general population’s understanding of reality. Psychopaths are one of these categories (not murderers, I mean just plain psychopaths who you probably know), so are narcissists. Their version of “reality” is what they believe, and what they’ve managed to get those around them to reflect back at them.

One of the societal problems with these people is there really isn’t a “come back to reality” state for them, it’s just what’s in their head (the most preferential conditions for them personally) and brute force or charm or manipulation to get others around them to buy in. They don’t ever accept that common reality is non-preferential to them, so they relentlessly fight against it until a much stronger force restrains them. And even then they will continue to fight against that force, because they really CAN’T integrate a reality where things aren’t to their specifications.

A spooky thing about this personality trait is that it often works, because the person’s conviction in their rightness is so strong it makes neurotypical people start second-guessing themselves, since THEY would only be so certain with a strong bedrock of fact - so they assume there’s a factual basis they’re missing, when actually it’s just a personal determination to “set things right”.

Do I know if Alice is diagnosable? Nope, and I wouldn’t even try. But a lot of the traits she’s showing (the narcissism, the parental alienation, the storytelling, the documentable own-goals on the DVRO) are so divorced from fact and common understanding and even a grasp of repercussions that it seems like her take on reality is less our shared reality and more her belief of “how it should be”. But I don’t actually think in her mind there IS any other reality than that should-be universe, and that explains her actions, her disbelief that repercussions are landing on her, and her confidence to keep fighting until the “right” outcome prevails.

That’s really the only way I can explain her letting these things come to trial and go into a public court record.

Re people slagging him off for having another baby. Bianca has MS and women of childbearing age with MS are advised to have a baby as soon as possible, if they can, because the infusion of stem sells the mother recives during pregnancy can transform her prognosis.

Justdancevance · 01/03/2026 18:23

The poor kids. They and Ioan have been let down by the systems failure to protect them

Oh that’s so interesting, I didn’t know that.

A few years ago I commented on Twitter about her behaviour. She messaged me from a fake account, went through my tweets and posted them to her account and tried to find out where I lived and worked 😂

It was unhinged and that was just because of a comment I made. Fuck knows what she is like in real life

She did it to so many people.

I remember when her daughter had an open twitter account and was being followed by someone with a penis for their profile picture and was regularly posting very adult content.

Tattle highlighted how bad it was that the young child not only had twitter, it wasn’t private and clearly Alice was not monitoring it. Alice then went on a rant saying that tattle were posting pictures of her daughter and porn, crying victim etc, but still never removed this follower from the child’s account.

No idea the position in the US but I would hope that this is a clear case where a ‘clean break’ is necessary any any spousal ‘maintenance’ would be in the form of a lump sum. AE would surely continue the litigation abuse by taking him back to court over and over for adjusted payments if not.

She was on here a few months ago and kept posting utter drivel about how happy they had been while married but what a useless father he is now

I was off work that day,ill and bored so posted a few times on that thread-i mentioned that I kept checking her insta (it was a gofundme begging post) and commented that any non supportive (of Alice) comments where getting deleted within minutes which made the comment thread look like everyone supported her and hated him

I got a few very nasty dms from that username before the account went 'poof'

Im just glad she couldn't trace me on insta judging by what I've heard (im not on twitter)

She really needs help-i do have a bit of sympathy as I've had my dp leave me suddenly (the ow came crawling out of the woodwork very fast) and I remember the ice cold fury I felt and how I would have loved revenge but I love my dc more than I hate him

My feelings had to be swallowed and put them first as he is their father and half of their dna

Are you sure it was her? She seems to have a lot of fanatic followers…

It was one of the account names that was shown in court to be one of her burner accounts

Notatallanamechange · 01/03/2026 23:21

Have those account definitely been shown to be hers? The whole situation is just so difficult to follow.

You know what’s really spooky? Without 1) the court cases and 2) the online groups who PAID for the public court transcripts, we wouldn’t know any of this! All we’d know is what the Daily Mail published, what she’s posted online (he’s been virtually silent), and what people assume when a man divorces his partner of 20-ish years and starts a new family.

And the kernel for ALL of that really does seem to be Alice’s role in hounding his early fans and shutting down his first fansite in the mid-2000s. I’m not sure there would have been the same level of skepticism if a small group of Hornblower fans didn’t remember the weirdness of IoanOnline’s end, which was previously run via partial counsel with his mum. In part, Alice is not getting away with anything because those initial fans saw the same patterns emerging almost a decade and a half later and were loud about the similarities.

Andrea is in court

In case the image doesn't show right away:

We skipped closings because court started late and Patrick Greene arrived early. He testified to spousal support overpayments by Ioan of $359,275 for 2021-2023, $25,824 for 2024, and $1,611 for 2025. "Destitute," indeed.

He also paid $161,047 in expenses allocated to the children from 2021-2023 and stipulated child support of $3000/month after that.

She also left her last apartment without paying the last few months rent which was over 40K that she pocketed for herself and left an electricity bill of over 2k unpaid.

I wonder how Alice's henchmen, who love to scream about what a deadbeat father Ioan is who left his children and their mother destitute are going to get round the actual facts now being out in open court? I'm torn between howls of "fake news" and claims that $400,000 isn't actually that much money when you have a lifestyle like Alice has become accustomed to.

How do you all know so much about it if not by reading about it in the DM?

Previous court papers have all being published online iirc.

If she lived in this country the kids would have been removed from her by social services. Total parental alienation. She puts herself first, doesn’t safeguard the kids, has fucked them up mentally to score points over him. Scammed money off people by lying about her finances. Is a total lazy grifter and often turns up on these threads undertaking serious sock puppeting.
