This poor woman is clearly in the middle of the most horrendous breakdown - who the fuck thought this interview was a good idea?

@SpookyScarySkeletons - that’s it exactly “fawning” - self serving and obsequious at the same time.

Watching them both manoeuvring around in this fake, clumsy, ugly dance made me want to hurl….

Oh dear, now the Mirror has jumped on this deleted tweet stating that Alice can’t reach Ioan to despite their children being sick. Interestingly they left the drug reference out.

The more this rolls on & gathers momentum in the UK, it gets even messier & more tawdry, & the more I veer to the conclusion that IG’s recent photo with B(?) & the one line comment were crafted to offset the threat of being exposed & denounced without any comment.

The photo & comment are carefully chosen, to suggest a friendship between IG &B? rather than a hot affair or romantic relationship. Actually quite guarded. Could have almost been crafted by a lawyer

It is AE & B’s SM accounts providing all the heat & noise, & oh, all the hangers on.

UniversalAunt · 15/11/2021 17:09

I am sure that IE’s agent &/or legal team will take a call of concern about the children, 24/7 anytime. Anytime.

AE is publicly goading IG by implying that he is indifferent & a poor parent. Seemingly, she will do anything to get his attention or response in public.

Who is Gloria? Thought girls were Ella and Elsie 🤔

The news reports I saw were strangely not quoting the more ... interesting elements of her tweet.
Cocolapew · 15/11/2021 17:49

Maybe they are editing them so they don't get sued or told to take them down?

BarefootHippieChick · 15/11/2021 17:54

I think it's in really bad taste to be tweeting about the nanny's personal health issues

Well of course they were crafted to avoid exposure, he’s been single a year, he’s allowed to date, if he did so then someone would photograph and release, so of course he had to get on top of it and announce. Confused
UniversalAunt · 15/11/2021 20:31

Would I be surprised to find out that IG is dating someone else completely different ‘under the radar’? Nah!

Would I be surprised to find out that B was about to announce on SM that UG is her one-true-love-4-ever & that TeamIG pumped out the ‘friendly’ photo & one-liner to head B off at the pass & to limit to Wrath of Woman Wronged aka AE? Nope.

Still a sorry mess.

sarah13xx · 15/11/2021 22:11

So glad there is a thread on this. I went down that rabbit hole the other night, watching interviews etc with both of them. The thing as well is I bet Alice reads things like this.. hi Alice if you’re reading 😂

I was totally heartbroken over the whole thing. I just see them as being the couple in 102 dalmatians 😢 I went to see it at the premiere as a child. Gutted for her and I think everyone knows that awful guy-wrenching feeling of just wanting to be with someone and they don’t want to be with you ☹️ I can totally imagine that horrible feeling when she finally saw he had someone else. B has been liking his Instagram pictures for 3 years though, yet they/a friend on set is claiming they only started speaking as they filmed the last series. Why was she liking every other picture on his Instagram in that case? Also think if I was having an affair with someone I probably wouldn’t like his Instagram posts 🤔 who knows!

Just feel so sorry for Alice. Whether it was a gradual breakdown of the marriage over time and he’s eyed up this (much younger) woman at work or whether it was a full blown affair, it’s still awful either way. I’d like to think he is more decent than to not even see his children though, that makes me sad

Don't think there's much evidence of this other than the ramblings of a drunken hysterical fantasist who doesn't know how social media works.

She might have liked his pictures , how we is that from 3 years ago.

@Willyoujustbequiet

I agree with Emma and believe more women should speak out.

My marriage ended due to DV and not infidelity but the concept is similar. We are expected to remain dignified for the sake of the children and men never get held to account - when the reality is speaking up protects children.

Speaking up about DV protects children.

Speaking up about heartbreak in the way Alice is doing, with such vitriol, and public accusations of infidelity, does nothing to protect the children and everything to harm them.

CatNameChange101 · 16/11/2021 00:39

She needs help, it’s awful watching people egging her on. If she continues like this she’ll lose her daughters and be devastated. Why is a family member not stepping in?

I like lots of peoples Instagram posts. It doesn’t mean I’m having an affair with them or intending to.

Bluntness100 · 16/11/2021 09:18

I think some folks are confused on how insta works. You don’t know when someone liked something. You only know when it was posted. Bianca could easily have just liked his posts when she worked on harrow last year, before she was involved with him. There is nothing to say she’s been doing it for 3 years.

I know Alice posted she had been but lots of folks tried to tell her her logic was wrong, thay all she could see was when loan posted it, not when bianca liked it.

@EsmaCannonball

I haven't seen the interview, but I guess we're used to a world where the damage men do is hidden away. There is a pattern of male behaviour here: successful men upgrade their wives to the younger model according to their current status in life. We're told that this is private and personal, but for the discarded wife there's nothing more impersonal to discover that your husband doesn't see your inner life, your personality, your shared history; he just sees you as an ageing body. What Alice Evans is doing is undignified and uncomfortable and possibly unhealthy, but women being dignified and silent sure does benefit men, and not just in the area of relationships. They can pretty much do what they like and be almost guaranteed that women will either not talk about it or talk about it and be labelled mad or a nasty witch.
What an excellent post
ValerieCupcake · 16/11/2021 09:32

@Snoozer11

IG was well within his rights to leave if he was unhappy.

They've been separated for a significant amount of time now. Is he not allowed to move on?

Frankly, Alice has behaved appallingly on social media. Even before the separation there was evidence of a nasty streak.

Wasn't she engaged when she met IG?

AE was well within her rights to leave if she was unhappy .... (in reply to your comment about her being engaged). Same difference.
Iamdobby63 · 16/11/2021 09:33

Having been where she is (sort of) I understand her hurt, anger and frustration, however, is this really something that needs a poster girl? By all means say your peace but I can’t be sympathetic to her when you see the bullying or inflammatory type posts, I lose patience if someone isn’t appearing to even try to move forward. I swing with Alice, one minute I’m disgusted by her and the next I feel sorry for her.

Alice keeping the children from their father isn’t right, especially when she then puts it in the press that he isn’t interested when clearly he is. By her own words she ‘nudges’ in when he’s FaceTiming the children which makes him back off. The people who will ultimately suffer are the children. Sad.

I agree with this too.

That's disgusting Iamdobby63, she's only hurting her girls doing that.

I agree. I get how hard it is but you have to put the children first. I could be wrong but from other posts I feel she sees herself and the girls (and Gloria 🤣) as one entity and they are not. Feels like she is grasping onto possessions.

You have to allow children access and in time they can work things out for themselves.
