In January 2021, Ioan Gruffudd told his wife Alice Evans that he was leaving her and filing for divorce. Alice promptly went off the deep end and showed us all while Ioan was getting the hell out. The fact that Ioan moved on very quickly with Bianca Wallace was a big part of Alice’s drama as well – Alice began publicly attacking Bianca online and in interviews, and many believed/knew that Alice was also creating fake social media accounts specifically to troll and abuse Ioan and Bianca. In 2022, Bianca and Ioan were finally granted a three-year restraining order – Alice could no longer contract them in any way. Alice has violated that restraining order multiple times in myriad ways. A few days ago, Bianca posted a statement about Alice’s restraining order violations and just how unhinged Alice has been online:
Bianca Wallace has launched an extraordinary attack on love rival Alice Evans, accusing her of ‘stalking, harassing and abusing’ her and fiancé Ioan Gruffudd. Following their acrimonious split in March 2021, Gruffudd and Evans have been locked in a very public legal battle, resulting in slanging matches that threatened to overshadow their respective careers.
Now Wallace, 31, has broken her silence on the saga, claiming that she has been inundated with messages from followers who claim to have been sent abusive messages from Evans, 55, and revealing she feels it’s her duty to ‘shine a light on bullies and abuse.’ She also repeated Gruffudd’s claims that Evans had set up fake social media accounts with the purpose of harrassing them after a restraining order banned her from mentioning him on social media.
In a series of Instagram posts on Thursday, the Australian actress went on to share 4512 pages worth of social media posts in which Evans had mentioned her or Gruffudd, 50, as well as links to court documents detailing the three-year restraining order he took out against her as a result of the relentless posts.
She began by sharing: ‘I want to say thank you so much for the love and support I have received. I believe the time has come to shine a light on bullies and abuse because they only hold power when hidden in the darkness. Bullies and people who harass others want us to believe that we are alone, but we are not. Bullying thrives in the darkness. It makes people afraid to do anything lest it get worse. I’m encouraging everyone to keep sharing your experiences. Continue reporting to the authorities. Always reach out for support. Although some of what I have mentioned happened over the last few years, I want to be very clear – The harassment and abuse has not ceased. It has continued unabated and is being directed far more broadly than just us.’
Wallace went on to claim that Evans had breached a three-year restraining order put out against her in August 2022. She continued: ‘On 13 November 2023 at 10:56am LA time, I received an email from the detective informing that the current investigations did find this persons phone number linked to at least one of the fake accounts being used to stalk, harass, and post defamatory claims. I want to stress that people who do this need to be held accountable for their actions, and as I have mentioned, I won’t allow anyone to bully or abuse me ever again. If you so wish to view the supporting evidence mentioned in my previous post, most of it, minus what is currently ongoing, is already publicly available. I found the following links containing the information on Google and there is a lot more publicly available information.’
Wallace went on to share the links to Gruffudd’s court filings for the Domestic Violence Restraining Order as well as the actor’s filings for joint custody with Evans of their daughters Ella, 14, and Elsie, 10. In a final blow, Wallace shared a link comprised of 4512 pages worth of social media posts in which Evans had mentioned her or Gruffudd. She ended her series of posts by writing ‘Keep being the light.’
Once you understand Alice’s absolutely unacceptable behavior over the past three years, it really gives everyone a new perspective on Ioan’s decision to leave her, right? Like, in the beginning, I even believed that Ioan could have handled the situation better and that he was likely cheating on Alice. But watching this all unfold… I hope he has great lawyers and that he and Bianca find some peace eventually, because Alice is going to spend the rest of her life making everything as hellish as possible for them. And their poor daughters – the amount of therapy those girls are going to need over the course of their lives should not be underestimated.

“… love rival Alice Evans …”
Love rival?! This woman is an unhinged, narcissistic abuser! She is not a “love rival!”
Yeah, that jumped out to me too. The media have been far too kind to Alice Evans – she is absolutely an unhinged, narcissistic abuser not a ‘wronged woman’ or a ‘spurned wife’ or a ‘love rival’. She deserves every opprobrium than can be heaped upon her by society for the vile and unacceptable way she has been and continues to behave.
Narcissists care very much what people think of them. Widespread, pubic shame would be one of the few things that might get to her. Might.
That said, we are dealing with our own family narcissist ex drama and I know from sad experience that there is little reasoning with them and the law is a blunt instrument with which little can be done to stop them – especially the harm they perpetrate on the children involved.
The Hench, you might want to edit the kind of shame that might get to her.
I was so pissed when I read that. This isn’t a love rival. That language is deliberately pitting women against each other and implying there is some kind of cat fight going on, rather than years of malicious harassment. I guess it is more fun to pretend that women are just immature and can’t get along 🙄
Doesn’t Alice often write for the DM?
I had the SAME reaction! Alice might like it to be a “love rival” situation, but it is not, and it’s grossly dismissive of Bianca to frame it that way.
The Daily Mail (evil) have frequently worked with Alice because Alice would give them a bloody tampon from her bin if they asked her to, she’s so desperate for media coverage. (Sorry to be gross!) The Mail love people who are willing to do and say anything and share every detail of their personal lives to be in the press, since they make money that way. Private people are an anathema to them.
It’s utterly vile, but it’s no surprise this article is so heavily biased towards Alice.
Agreed.
That & the whole ‘launched an attack’ part. Bianca Wallace did not ‘launch an attack’ on Alice Evans! I read the original IG post all the way through; she’s explaining a very difficult situation she & Ioan are currently undergoing. Sheesh. Then again, c’mon, we all know the DM hates women.
Didn’t their divorce show that he tried to discuss separation a year or two before and Alice was “not listening, we’re never getting divorced”? He then quietly got his affairs in order, (ie custody request) and served her papers. She shouldn’t have been surprised. At all.
Yep, this phrase leapt out at me too. It’s a disgusting way to refer to Alice Evans, who is an unhinged abuser and stalker.
Yes, that also highlights how some papers excuse Alice’s behaviour treating her just like ‘a scorned woman’ rather than what it is, that’s the behaviour of an abuser and a bully.
I hope the girls will get away from mama once they’ve grown up enough.
I’ve been waiting for this post since I saw this news on Reddit yesterday!!
I hope like hell that at some point Alice Evans loses custody of her daughters and Ioan can get them into therapy, because they’re the ones I feel the worst for. I am sorry that Ioan and Bianca have been harrassed, but those poor kids….
That’s the one thing that bothers me in all of this. I hope this public airing of how badly Alice has been behaving is prelude to a custody battle. I can totally see waiting for the evidence to be overwhelming, rather than losing the initial case.
Whomever wrote this article should be ashamed. I also cannot believe it went out without some serious consideration of how it treats victims of stalking & how it thinks there are good people on both sides here.
It’s the DM. None of their writers know shame.
Shameful that this article was written in this nonchalant manner! Alice is dangerous and continues escalating ! She is an obsessed stalker and will not give up until harm comes to her ex or his new soon to be wife. This is very dangerous behavior that never ends well and should be written properly.
@CEL2495. 💯. A restraining order hasn’t fazed Alice (aka Esther Mikaelson on The Vampire Diaries/The Originals) and that makes her doubly dangerous. Hope things work out well for Ioan, Bianca and his kids.
I agree that Alice is legitimately scaring the hell out of ME and I don’t even have any skin in this mess. And you’re absolutely right that her esclation is very dangerous. She’s seriously giving me Betty Broderick vibes right about now, and I don’t say that lightly.
The opening paragraph of the DM’s piece is disgusting.
I have read that Alice was abusive in the marriage before Ioan left her. I think, he tried to make it work through working away a lot, leaving children with her. God knows, what she told their daughters all these times when he was away working. I don’t know why people would think an abusive partner wouldn’t be an abusive parent. Ioan should have left the marriage long ago and tried to build a relationship with his daughters while they were still young. However, it seems from the outside, he chose to leave after finding someone else. These children are gonna need years long therapy.
This is giving me Kanye vibes, he was also dangerously stalking Kim. I wonder how she managed to shut it down.
Kim’s security detail is probably professional ninjas. Especially after the robbery in Paris.
How come no one talks about the fact that Alice was abusing him their entire relationship. She bullied and controlled him to the point where he couldn’t have a private conversation with his parents without her listening in. I think as a society that we need to acknowledge that women can be abusive also, and not just in same sex relationships and men shouldn’t be shamed or embarrassed by it.
didn’t she also go after someone who ran a fan site/fan club for Griffith back when hey were engaged? Someone above mentioned her role as Esther Mikaelson and it feels like Evans is channeling the utter evil of that character (who also thought herself the embodiment of all that is good and moral)
As the daughter of a blond, alcoholic woman who went a bit nuts when her husband left her and quickly found a new partner, this hits close to home. I was almost grown and yet my mom STILL did her utmost to utterly destroy my relationship with my father and to slander my now-stepmom whenever possible. She stayed bitter for years…might still be, for all I know, but since we’re now estranged I don’t have to worry about it anymore. Let me tell you, whether those girls believe their mother’s manipulations or simply want to have both parents in their lives, the damage that has already been done to them will take years and years of therapy and will inevitably impact every romantic relationship for the rest of their lives. It is heart-breaking.
Alice’s chummy with the Fails Alison Boshoff who has been called out by Bianca for her enabling abuse via sympathetic articles on someone whose hate campaign merited a DVRO. That DVRO was granted after they submitted 113 pages of abusive texts, vicious and vindictive emails, Family Wizard messages, voicemails, voice notes, social media postings, harrassing WhatsApp groups, doxxing, screaming phonecalls, television, radio and print interviews. It’s not a crime in law or morally to dissolve your marriage when your spouse ‘hits you around the face and neck after calling you repeatedly foul names in front of 2 young daughters. Spouses have every right to leave abusive partners and yet despite the DVRO Alice’s hate campaign continues.
4500 pages of evidence of harassment? Plus she’s breaking a restraining order? That’s beyond dangerous and I hope he can get custody of those kids and that everyone can stay safe.
Based on all I have read the children are not safe with her. He needs to have full custody and she only gets supervised visitation at most until she gets it together.
Does she think this behaviour is going to win him back? He probably kicks himself for not leaving sooner.
I know this is an unpopular opinion but I feel for Alice almost as much as for the rest of that family. I believe she suffers from extreme BPD and the “Unhinged” is not “just obsessed stalking and alcohol”. For the sake of her children I wish she would get treatment or better treatment. BPD destroys not just your life but also your family’s. It is easy to hate on sufferers, especially when they use a bunch of criminal energy for their own temporary relief and hurt so many. It is literally a disease that makes you lose sense and only act on disregulated emotions in sometimes horribly ugly ways. Ian acted honorably and has found new love, good for him. I do hope he can continue to help his kids through this.
Can we please stop with diagnosing people with mental illnesses and / or blame their horrible behaviour on those said illnesses. You have no idea if she has BPD. Also, a person can have it and that doesn’t automatically mean they will be an asshole.
so right @anta, we have no idea Alice’s diagnosis, if any. sometimes bad people are just bad people, no mental health analysis needed. FWIW, most people i’ve ever known with BPD were perfectly delightful, it’s just that they would have problems handling money or being grandiose and a bit flighty when they were in a manic phase. i never saw any of them do anything remotely like what the woman in this article is described doing
I’m assuming the OP is talking about borderline personality disorder not bi-polar disorder. Quite different things. Disregulated emotions are a hallmark. As is addiction.
Well then she should get some help for herself if this is the case. From what we can read she shows no signs of wanting it.
Borderline is one of the hardest conditions to treat. There are excellent therapies available but you have to a) know, b) be aware that you have a problem C) want to fix it. With borderline, that’s not easy.
This is Alice accosting a polite woman in a car park and yelling at her. Alice’s young daughter (not on video) is watching mom have a public meltdown.

No wonder in the wake of Bianca’s revelation of a sustained campaign that a lot of other folk abused by Alice has shared their stories with her some going back over a 20 year period. Alice pretends to be the victim dumped for a younger woman who went a little crazy over her divorce and behaved totally out of character for a while. Alice abused her husband for years until she physically assaulted him in front of his daughters and that was his final straw.
Huh. While most of us might get annoyed with a giant car in a compact space, I don’t know anyone who’d try to squeeze their car into an obviously small space that’s got other cars so close to the line on either side. Alice made a dumb mistake & then went postal on the other woman when she hit both cars on either side.
Messy people are best avoided.
He needs to go for full custody.
I admit I’ve only seen Alice Evans in one thing — that syrupy, patriotic Hallmark Christmas movie, “The Christmas Card,” which also starred Ed Asner.
She’s a terrible actor, as well as a scary person. And, as usual, The Fail’s framing is awful.
I remember, back when this volcano started to erupt, I felt compassion towards Alice because it was obvious that her husband began his relationship with Bianca while he was still married to her. His lying about it, likely gaslighting her, telling her she’s being paranoid, etc. “the playbook” all contributed to the cray. By no means do I think he is innocent in all of this.
But Alice’s behavior over the years has made it very clear that she isn’t well. When your heart gets broken and your family gets shattered, you’re bound to go a little crazy. But she hasn’t come back from that edge. I’m an excellent grudge holder, myself, but even I’m like okay we have to move on from this at some point.
Fwiw, she also regularly claims that people are making fake social media accounts to troll her and leave hateful comments on photos of her kids. Now this article has me wondering if perhaps she’s behind those accounts, too, in an effort to drum up sympathy.
If you read through those links you understand she hasn’t gone a little crazy, she’s always been an abuser.
Women can be abusive too,and that’s the reason he asked her for a divorce much longer before he filed for one.
@Alpine Witch agreed that Alice’s abusive history has been recorded via extensive documentation on Tattle site , going back 20 years well before her split from her husband.
https://tattle.life/wiki/alice-evans
Please read to remove any doubt whatsoever that Alice’s behaviour has been in anyway proportionate or just a brief (!) bad reaction to a split. She has a pattern of abusive behaviour that has been fuelled by both a drink and SM addiction and has sadly escalated over the past 5 years. She continues her all consuming vendetta at the expense of her 2 daughters which is of the utmost concern. Ioan has fought for custody legally and is still awaiting a custody determination whilst Alice chops and changes her lawyer to delay the process as mush as possible.
I used to follow her years ago when he was on that TV show Forever playing a man who’s immortal because she would post behind the scenes stuff and thirst traps of her own husband. Stopped following when things always seemed just a bit too intense or weird and he seemed to not enjoy it anymore. It wasn’t a shock when their split was announced.
I hate the way the Daily Mail framed this as a she said/she said catfight. I do hope Ms. Evans seeks help in putting this behind her. And honestly, I’d love to know what Rosamund Pike thinks is really going on (because she often seems to play troubled characters).
Bianca looks so pretty in that green dress. It’s just a great colour and cut on her.
