Team Ioan Gruffudd or Alice Evans?

I've been following the story around the breakup of Ioan and Alice. I haven't been a great fan of Alice in the past, but I do feel for her and her children right now. Who else thinks that Ioan has behaved atrociously to his family? According to his wife, he has been having an affair for a long while, and making her feel as though she was in the wrong for months.

Her social media posts and interactions are embarrassing to read now and she's showing no signs of abating.

I can only imagine how much hard work she is. People do fall out of love with each other, it's a sad reality. She's also contradicting herself on many points too.
Those poor girls.

Err @Glassofshloer is that where you've got

"she wouldn't let him speak welsh to his parents" from?

CasparsWineBar · 07/11/2021 14:18

Oh dear, I see AE has been posting on social media that she is going to make this SUPER PUBLIC (her capitals) and is going to do TV interviews in the UK and US next week.

I know she must be incredibly hurt by her marriage breakdown and IG may well have been an absolute shit but she really needs to take a breath, stop and think of how damaging this public ranting is to her children, her mental health, her career and any future co-parenting relationship with IG.

@Glassofshloer

‘Evans herself then wrote a piece for the Daily Mail in which she lavished us with detail, some unnecessarily salacious, some telling, like the fact that when Gruffudd called his parents in front of her during his marriage’s unravelling, he spoke in Welsh’

Gosh a private call with his own parents during a tough time. How very dare he.

A tough time for her too with no parents that she can call.
Glassofshloer · 07/11/2021 14:20

So he can’t call his?

I don’t have parents - well, estranged from one for many many years and the other abroad & disinterested, we speak a few times a year tops.

Does that mean when DH goes through a rough patch he shouldn’t speak to his own parents (even in private, shock horror) to make me feel better?

Does it heck.

Cheeseandlobster · 07/11/2021 14:22

So literally in the last few minutes all comments have disappeared from Alice's Instagram and nor can anyone post new comments. So a step in the right direction

No, I'm not saying that - please stop purposely twisting my words.

@Glassofshloer that's weird. Confused

The latest one about him still sleeping with her when he got with Bianca just seems so sad and desperate, I don't know why. I don't think she'll be stopping any time soon.

Cheeseandlobster · 07/11/2021 14:28

I can see comments in some photos but not the latest ones

I can see all the comments? Maybe just IG playing up?

That was the inference, don’t try going all semantical.

It absolutely wasn't Glassofshloer - pure speculation on your part!

Honestly, you’re going down the batshit route of ‘Well if you took what I said how it sounded, then YOURE the wrong one…’

Nope.
Bye.

So they do. Oh well not a step in the right direction then after all

Good grief!!

Seems like you're 'inferring' the hell out this whole thread.

Just read the actual posts.

Viviennemary · 07/11/2021 14:38

On twitter she put up a video of IG playing a card type game with one of their dds saying Christmas 2019. Just in the last 24 hours. Why would you do that. Use your child in that way presumably to make the other parent feel guilty. Not on.

EatYourFive · 07/11/2021 14:39

I can also still see the comments. With regards to the post itself, I really wish someone would make her stop for her children's sake, it's beyond embarrassing. Sad I really hope she's not going ahead with some TV appearances, those poor kids, especially the older one, some of her classmates must already be using social media.

And claims "there is an unnaturalness in his eyes..." You can't bloody see them! I'd honestly be telling my sister to wrap it up if she was sending me the barrage in private messages, never mind for the general public to read 😑
BarefootHippieChick · 07/11/2021 14:44

Viviennemary not just to make him feel guilty, presumably also to remind the other woman that he had a whole happy family before her, kind of a "I've got something you've not got", ie kids with him...just like her latest Instagram post is reminding her they were sleeping together and taking happy family shots even when he met Bianca.
