Alice Evans/ Ioan Gruffydd misogyny

140 replies

Lifeswhatyoumakeit73 · 09/06/2023 16:45

It’s all over the papers that Ioan Gryffudds 13 year old daughter has taken out a restraining order against him due to him & his girlfriends violent behaviour to his eldest daughter. And I have seen loads of comments blaming Alice Evans for it.

Its incredible misogynistic bollocks. She seems to have been blamed for him leaving her & their children, for him not seeing his kids for years, for him running off with a younger woman & now for his behaviour towards his daughter which has resulted in her asking for a restraining order against her father.

How can it always be the fault of the woman? It’s horrible misogyny. He left his family & ran off with a younger woman!

Shouldn't this case be left within the confidentiality of the family court? I feel it's a bit shitty of the MailOnline to be reporting it.

It's gross how many details are in shitty tabloids. Awful. The mother was out for drinks with the author of the "exclusive" piece published in the Daily Fail literally just before it was all outed in there, she needs serious psychological help it's not normal behaviour after a relationship breakdown.

@AutumnCrow yes probably. But I guess it’s out there now. I just think his ex and kids have been treated so badly by the media.

It was on her Instagram (public). Alice Evans and Alison whatshername the "journalist" smiling for a selfie just before it came out.

BakedTattie · 09/06/2023 16:54

Alice evans’ behaviour is seriously deranged though.

Bianca, it that you?!

I went to school with Alice , it's quite upsetting to watch her life falling apart like this 😔

MichelleScarn · 09/06/2023 16:55

I do wonder how Ae is funding her PR St the mo.
Busy busy people.
I really didn't think she or Ig would be relevant for anyone to care, and the tawdry mess shouldn't be played out in public for the sake of the children.

Since when did gutter journalists have any boundaries, morals or taste?

Wildlyboring · 09/06/2023 16:56

No speculation Alice posted it herself

All the language around her ‘deranged’ etc is horrible - I’ve even seen nasty comments about her girls being ‘brats’ etc- its just really really horrible.

Why are people even talking about their family dramas? Some bloke who was in hornblower 20 years ago left his wife - who cares it happens 🤷‍♀️

Her behaviour was/is deranged though. The same way an abusive man’s behaviour would be too.

JustforAlice · 09/06/2023 17:10

I think you should have put misandry not misogyny.
And maybe educate yourself on things like the PRO she has against her for 3 years due to her abuse of him, his mother and his partner.
She's seriously cray cray and is destroying her children and using them as weapons against her ex who had the temerity to leave her.

‘Cray cray’? Jesus, it’s as bad on here!

She has already been subject to an order herself due to prepetrating domestic abuse.

It's not misogyny to point out that somebody who has been found in court to be a domestic abuser is about as trustworthy as my cat with an unattended prawn cocktail.

AutumnCrow · 09/06/2023 17:16

A court order saying that the children cannot be named or identified would be helpful.

MrsMoastyToasty · 09/06/2023 17:17

There's his story and there's her story...and somewhere in the middle is the truth. It's nobody else's business.
FWIW I have a sibling who was at school with Alice and have met her briefly (I was at another school).

JustforAlice · 09/06/2023 17:18

The thing that is mainly bad on here is the refusal to see female on male abuse as a real thing.
Women here seem to think they own their children and fathers should be grateful if the women 'allow' them to have any contact with their children once a split has occurred.

Randomuser9876 · 09/06/2023 17:20

Normally hate all the people who pile on the women in this situation but she seems to be encouraging it so much. Posting what she can get away with online, talking to journos etc. If it wasn't for that it would have blown over a long time ago in the media.

What was she like at school pps? She was so beautiful.

Yes but HE had the affair by all accounts while he was still with Alice Evans- something in mumsnet terms which is normally a hanging offence. Yet she gets blamed for literally everything. I find it utter hypocrisy tbh.

I’m sure misogyny is a part of it, but her online rants and videos about the entire situation going back years make her look absolutely unhinged.
