Why is Alice Evans Gruffudd homeless?

Doesn’t she have any famous friends? Where has all her money gone? Does she have to live in L.A? It just all seems bizarre, just move somewhere cheaper.

They are worlds apart. Tattle is gloves off and utterly vile. It's relentless mocking and name calling of women. It's a real eye opener about how nasty and spiteful people can really be. Mumsnet has its moments of course but overall, it's much more balanced and restrained.

Say what you want about some of the threads on Tattle but the Alice Evans one has a fantastic Wiki with all the evidence and court documents which are actual facts. Not gossip or opinions, actual legal facts.

She refuses to work. Deliberately alienated the children from their father, then claims she can't work as she's a single parent. She's done such a number on her girls they can't even safely be alone with their dad anymore, despite him being clearly a loving, caring father until the divorce, when Alice decided to alienate and destroy him. When they've seen him he's needed a chaperone, and they've destroyed his home. No doubt on mother's orders.

She's utterly vile and a sad example of a parent that hates their ex more than they love the shared children.

I wouldn't worry about her being homeless though, she's crowed about this repeatedly for years now and it's never happened. She is simply trying to publicly shame him and insinuate he hasn't provided financially, which he has (as evidenced by the courts: he has OVERPAID what he needed to).

The drama cycle will never end with Alice. My heart breaks for the kids. What should have been a run of the mill divorce which most kids cope fine with has turned into her wrenching their father from them, isolating them, and emotionally abusing them. I honestly fear for their futures.

Wrenching the children from him is a bit of a stretch. He's the typical cliched 50 year old guy trading the wife in for a younger model.

Her Insta made me very uncomfortable even when she and IG were married. She'd film him when he didn't want to be filmed (in his pants or swimming shorts) and would post the videos even though he asked her not to. Had it been a man posting bikini photos of his wife that she could be heard asking him not to share, I think people would have recognised it then as a red flag.

Yes, he was not a keen bean when it came to starring in her Insta videos and posts.

I get the same vibes from a certain Scottish thesp whenever he appears in wifie's Insta posts and stories. Keep expecting to see him in the latest one trussed up like a turkey, with a bag over his head, holding up a copy of today's newspaper as proof of life.

Unless your typically cliched 50 year old guy has experienced prolonged domestic abuse and sustained parental alienation, I'd say he was far from typical.

His major fault was marrying her in the first place. More red flags than a Chinese picnic there but you live and learn.

WestwardHo1 · 15/05/2025 09:17

I get that she is heartbroken and needs help, but she really hasn't helped herself one bit.

I'm not sure it's heartbreak so much as narcissistic rage at having being thwarted.

Husband divorces wife.

Husband stops paying enough money for his offspring to continue life as normal.

Wife complains in undignified fashion. Man gets Turkey teeth, a younger model and (doubtless) replacement kids.

Women of mumsnet vilify the ex-wife.

Oh fgs. And surprise surprise someone comes along to automatically believe every word the woman says despite significant evidence to the contrary and reverse victim blame. Men can be victims of abuse too you know and just because it happens mostly the other way that doesn’t mean it’s acceptable to ignore it when the woman is the abuser. There is plenty of evidence regarding her behaviour and I am certainly not going to stick up for just because we share the same body parts. If a woman experiences the level of abuse in their marriage that he did she would rightly be told to get out of it no matter what it took but people like you become hypocritical the other way around. I have no sympathy for her whatsoever. Using kids as a weapon is unforgivable.

Jenifer Aniston?! I think she has done pretty well with being the single woman in her 50s who doesn't care what everyone else thinks of her.

Absolutely.

For those asking what Ioan has been in lately, he had a show on ABC (Oz). He played the title character, a forensic pathologist, in Harrow, a case of the week medical drama. It lasted 3 seasons of 10 episodes (2018-2021). He met his now wife on set. She has MS and is involved in MS awareness stuff.

I'm sure that's the case but that doesn't justify the way posters on there describe and talk about women. It's truly a vile platform.

Yes, it all kicked off towards the end of his stint on the show.

I remember her haranguing all and sundry on the Gram for liking his posts or posting bland, inoffensive messages of congratulations to him when he went public with the new girlfriend. That was when it became clear she wasn't going to let him go alive quietly.

Notatallanamechange · 15/05/2025 09:27

How would we all feel about a father calling their preteen daughter fucking tedious’ and a ‘bitch’ because she asked for them not to drink on her birthday? Which is clearly rooted in that individual having alcohol issues.

Could those of you defending her accept that from a man?

Absolutely correct but both can be true along side each other.

She was unceremoniously dumped and has totally failed accept or to move on and quite obviously needs some professional help. He however, whatever the circs, chose to prioritise his next leaner younger model over his kids which makes him a complete tosser too. Poor, poor children.

Has he? Looks like he can't get a look in with the children.

Influencing is truly vile. If it ruins even one moronic influencer and stops them from invading their kids privacy by flogging them all over the internet for fame and free shite, it’s alright with me.

He dumped her for another younger woman. Her life was destroyed. Some women can pick up and move on. She needs help & support.
Most of us don't get in the sidebar of shame when it happens to us.
It bloody hurts.

She became very very difficult to live with long before he dumped her. He didn’t actually leave her FOR another woman. He left because he couldn’t live with her any more, and met Ian a after that had happened.

RedJamDoughnut · 15/05/2025 08:06

I took it that he wanted to split up, she didn't.
They split.
She loses nice easy life.
He gets younger woman.
A year isnt going to soften the blow, she will be creating all kinds of scenarios like was he cheating - which destroys her past

Not everyone is resilient or has support. She put up a fight to try to keep the life she had. He is not anywhere rich enough to support that and why should he, he has a new life.

She lost the life she knew & the future she thought she was going to have.

On top of that she she seems to have a lot of followers support/hating all egging her on.

It easy to say move on but it's not that easy.

It’s not about moving on, she is horrifically abusive to both him and their children. Have you read the court documents? It’s hugely worrying that either child remains in her custody.

"Met Ian"

Sorry that made me really chuckle

@ButchyrestingfaceA certain time lord? Or a man who once dived down a toilet to get drugs?

One of those people was a cheating shit and the other one you are correct.

I'll let you guess which one. Easter Grin

kellygoeswest · 15/05/2025 09:39

The court documents evidenced enough physical and emotional abuse from her, that he was granted a three-year restraining order. Some of her behaviour, towards Ioan and her children, has been really horrific.

I remember someone commenting on her instagram some time back that she could go into French tutoring (she lived in France and speaks it fluently), working from home remotely around the girls, but as with any other realistic/helpful advice she chooses to dismiss it entirely.

She's utterly entitled and lazy, and believes that as a "single mum" she shouldn't have to work. She actively continues to alienate her daughters from their father, and has done irreparable damage to their relationship.

Edit - she also continues to harass Ioan and his partner, and has broken the restraining order numerous times (lots of articles online about this).

DaisyChain505 · 15/05/2025 09:40

just least week her ex has applied for the restraining order to be continued and in his court papers he includes over 500 times she’s broken the order. 5000!!

These include stalking, harassing, having things send to their new address under her name, turning up to a parent teacher conference that Ioan was at and blocking the exit so he couldn’t leave.

and for all of the above he has actual evidence. Photo and video evidence.

He’s also included in the latest filing FaceTime footage from a phone call with his daughter showing Alice offering them cocaine and text messages from his daughter saying Alice had left the front door open for her drug dealer.

First you say 500, then you say 5000.

You sound like Alice. Wink

Not quite. Way before Alice was apparently ‘blindsided’ by Ioan asking for a divorce she was telling him and the children that she didn’t want to be with him any more because he was useless, and that she was going to find the children ‘a new daddy’. Problem is, she never actually thought he’d have the guts to leave after she’d abused him and destroyed his confidence for years and when he finally did, it was a huge narc injury.
She didn’t want him, she just didn’t want him to move on.
