Alice Evans is a legend in her own mind. She thinks she’s doing something no other woman has done before: publicly harass her estranged husband and be a manipulative psycho. Alice was on a British talk show this week and while most of the headlines are about how she “broke down in tears” during the interview, I laughed my ass off at some of her quotes. She is truly living in her own little delusional world and – weirdly?? – she thinks she has the moral high ground, and that everyone is on her “side.” Also, she lies a lot!! I’m not even following the minutiae of this gossip story and I know she contradicts herself at every bloody turn. Some quotes from the interview:
Every woman’s nightmare: “It’s been very tough, but just wanted to say thank you for having me on to speak about what is every woman’s nightmare. The reason I’m wanting to do this is because of the incredible feedback that I’ve had. I was completely unaware that so many people who have gone through exactly the same thing. Nobody talks about this sort of thing so I thought I would be that person.”
Whether Ioan is still speaking to her: “No. He won’t talk to me. He’ll talk to me only through lawyers. He’ll rarely talk to the children on FaceTime and when I lean in, he’ll call the lawyers.”
When things went wrong: “Only when my husband came back from his last season from a show he was filming in Australia [… before] everything was fine, it was wonderful. We were so pleased to get him out of the country, I feel like such a fool… he came in and hugged the kids, then dryly gave me a kiss on the cheek and that was how I knew something was wrong.”
Smug married: She described herself as being “one of those smug married couples” and never believed that such a situation would happen to them. “When he said in the first few days, ‘Oh I don’t love you anymore’… it was just so out of the blue. He kept saying, ‘Sorry, I don’t feel the same for you, I might leave’.” Alice explained that when Ioan was at the home he wouldn’t talk or look at her and slept in the spare room. “I was losing my mind,” she said. “Then I tweeted ‘He’s leaving us’ and everything blew up.”
No dignity: “There was so much talk of a dignified silence. I don’t understand how you can talk about a dignified silence when my whole life was falling apart around me.”
Ioan’s relationship with Bianca: “My phone pinged and it said, ‘Ioan Gruffudd has unblocked you on Instagram’ or whatever. I thought, ‘Oh! Maybe there’s a chance he wants to talk.’ And then it was announced by him and his mistress that they were a couple on Instagram two weeks ago. I just looked at the picture and it said something like, ‘Finally somebody who can make me happy.’ And then people started pinging from his set in Australia saying, ‘So glad you guys are finally out and allowed to be happy and you’re not being held back anymore.’ I was just slayed. I was slayed. This is my husband!”
OH MY GOD!! How many times is she going to tell different versions of the story where she found out about Bianca? She always ends the story the same way: “This is my husband!” Lady, he told you he was leaving a year and a half ago! He withstood your efforts to manipulate him and publicly shame him into staying with you. He filed for divorce and will only communicate with you through lawyers! The man is not “yours” anymore. You don’t have ownership over him. He was deeply unhappy, he left and he’s trying to find happiness with someone else. And yes, people talk about this sh-t all the time! She really thinks she’s a pioneer of making an ass out of herself.

She’s so delusional I’m surprised it took him this long to get out.
Nah, I think she’s sly. She’s using all of this for publicity (apparently believes any publicity is good publicity). Maybe not at first, but she sees the attention she’s getting and then we get the curated Hello! shoots. She’s crazy like a fox. And, no, I don’t like her.
I think you’re right, but I also think that will be her next rude awakening. She might get paid for a story or two, but she’s giving away the crazy for free online. It won’t be all that lucrative or long lasting. Her getting lasting attention now mostly depends on him. If he has a huge TV or movie hit, or I suppose if he remarries or has another kid. Then the public interest in her meltdowns holds up. But what a horrible way to live! You getting any attention depends on good things happening for someone who you don’t have a relationship with anymore (Oh hey Megan Markle’s family!).
Plus she’s no one in the US, so what next? Reality show in the UK?
Is she like a C list celebrity? Don’t even know who she is? I though Megan McCain for millisecond!
Completely agree. If she’s trying to follow the Brandi Glanville playbook, she should realize the drama only continues when you’ve got a Leanne on the other side.
She was in a one or two episodes of Lost.
She could start by trying to get a spot on “Botched”.
Alice, gurl. What is your endgame? You don’t want that tawdry two-bit cheater back. So, what DO you want?
I think she’s lashing out in pain and anger and it’s not rational. She doesn’t have an endgame.
she IS delusional…look at how she co-opts this language of ‘lean in.’ Like she’s ‘leaning in’ to her partner…no, woman, you’re probably violating a court order on how your ex should be able to communicate with his child.
It’s all really manipulative, too. She’s blahblahblahing about him to the press, and he has two choices: take all of her verbal manure, or respond. It’s a lose-lose situation for him and I don’t doubt that she knows it. I think she’s desperate to get him to engage with her. She’s the sort that will cajole, guilt, and badger him into a reconciliation. He’s still taking the high road, though.
@ GrnieWnie, I agree wholeheartedly! Alice is delusional and she thinks that what she is saying, doing in addition to her expressing her feelings, is to state to the fact that the ONLY truth of their marriage/divorce is HER truth. Alive is trying to get her side out constantly, refuses to be seen as the bad spouse. Alice with her narcissism and delusions reject the thought entirely. Alice only cares about Alice and what Ioan is doing, with NO thought given to their children. She has been in a downward spiral which she has realized the more she attacks Ioan, the more press she gets. Alice is desperate for attention, even the bad kind.
This was my reaction as well. Interfering with his ability to communicate with his children is a huge no-no…unless it has something to do with their safety. But, no, she wants to monopolize their time with their dad by “leaning in” and making it about her. I feel bad for the kids.
If she is behaving this way, can you imagine how unhinged she is at home? There is no doubt that she is saying all kinds of negative things to them about their father, and that is classed as abuse. She might want to rethink her strategy; if Ioan is consulting with lawyers as much as she says he is, she may find out what a true nightmare is.
Right? I was always under the impression that every woman’s nightmare was a snake coming out of the toilet to bite you on your delicate parts!
Well FK now that’s my new worst nightmare. 😬
lol, going publicly insane is right up there with worst nightmares….
Lol. I’ve always said that too!
A rat did that to my aunt on her honeymoon in the Caribbean. A water rat. She had to get shots in her private area after. Honeymoon over! I always win best rat story when I recount the story.
@ TheHufflepuffLizLemon, comment of the DAY!!!!
@Bettyrose, I hate to break it to you, but when you are in Mexico staying at a villa built on the side of a mountain with zero external walls, you have more to fear that snakes!!! Yup!! Girl you got scorpions— big, meaty, brightly colored (some) with the perfect delightful hiding spot under the toilet seat all of the time!!
😳😳😳😳😳 Ur…thanks, guys? 😳😳😳
She’s really…something. I’m not quite sure WHAT, exactly, besides unhinged, but yeah. She’s something
Whatever that something is, it’s clearly not anything good.
She doesn’t even make sense. Instagram doesn’t notify you when you get unblocked by someone, it doesn’t even notify you when you GET blocked!
What world does she live in?
Poor Ioan…the toxicity inside that marriage must have been unbearable
She is deeply troubled and needs more help than friends or family can provide. Her grasp of reality seems so tenuous, I do fear those children should not be with her at this time.
Edited bc I replied to the wrong comment, sorry!
I am shocked she hasn’t caught pneumonia with the amount of time she’s spent showing her ass in recent months.
I don’t wish this experience on anyone but the more she talks, the more I’m happy for Ioan that he had the courage to finally get away from her. He had to have known she would act a whole entire fool when he left. And she is acting a fool and then some.
And if either of my sons was married to someone behaving like this during their breakup, I would be devastated because I’d be wondering what she’d been doing for all those years they were together.
Alice Evans is an abusive asshole and someone needs to look into her continued custody of her children. She’s sounding very “I’m not just going to be ignored, Daniel.” with increasing intensity.
“I am shocked she hasn’t caught pneumonia with the amount of time she’s spent showing her ass in recent months.”
Bwahahaha!! Give her time, unfortunately her 15 minutes of notoriety haven’t expired yet. She’s on the Thomas Markle train for the time being.
Does she not have girlfriends?
She needs girlfriends to listen to her work out her crazy privately.
And to be honest with her about the bad look of public crazy.
I feel like she probably drove everyone away because she doesn’t like opinions or interpretations that are different from her own. She probably doesn’t have anyone willing to help her anymore.
Yeah, I’m not seeing a woman that plays well with others here. I’m genuinely struggling to see how he maintained a relationship with her for 20 years. I never thought I’d call a cheating man a saint, but my God, he must have suffered so much in this relationship. She needs intense therapy. And now her daughters will too with all of this “he’s leaving *us*” bullshit.
@ Kebbie, please don’t call him cheater. All we know is that he is in a relationship now, which no one knows when it started. It’s an assumption based on nothing, but
Cray-Cray-Alice has been spouting off for these last 9+ months, with it growing into intensity each day.
She doesn’t seem to have any real life (as opposed to social media) friends. She’s commented herself that she doesn’t have friends in LA – this despite living there for nearly 20 years. She’s estranged from her own family. She has a poor relationship with Ioan’s family. There’s scant evidence of any healthy relationships at all, and this far pre-dates Ioan coming into her life.
Wow. That’s a real “how do you say someone has borderline personality disorder without actually saying it” vibe, there.
She does need girlfriends. I got cheated on and dumped once really bad and I wanted to do everything stupid you can imagine (well, almost everything) but my friends kept me sane, reminded me to keep my BS quiet,and guess what? He married the girl and they are miserable.
She’s way too narcissistic to have girlfriends. The friendship would be _all_ about her drama, and folks like that invariably suck you dry if you let them. Been there; done that; lived to regret…😡😡
At this point I can completely understand why he might have just said “f*ck it” and cheated on her. She’s like talking to a delusional brick wall.
Except we don’t know if he did cheat.
Like a child who closes his eyes and insists you can’t see him. He could have painted the house with ‘I’m leaving you’ slogans, had it embroidered on the sheets, and spray-painted it across the bathroom walls in bright blue shaving cream, and she still would pretend she didn’t see it. An obstinately stupid adult.
It seems like that what he actually did. From what she’s saying (which obviously will be different tomorrow since she changes the story every day), he did say he wasn’t in love, wanted to leave, slept in a different bedroom while they were co-living: he did everything a person who is ending a relationship ought to do. She did not listen and she’s still not listening since she can’t comprehend that starting a relationship a year after you left your spouse ain’t cheating.
Also, who receives alerts that someone unblocked you on IG?!
Could be one of the reasons, or THE reason, he posted the picture w/Bianca on Instagram. So she finally gets the message, he filed for divorce months ago, and he’s not her husband anymore in any real sense of the word.
And it doesn’t necessarily mean he cheated previously. At this point though, he’s entitled to move on.
I very much believe he made the announcement so that she wouldn’t be able to do it and claim he’s trying to hide his side-piece. And yeah, saying “this is whom I’m with now, I’m not your husband anymore” was certainly also part of it.
@ Lady D, not a stupid woman, a woman in denial.
You’re right, I shouldn’t have called her stupid and I apologize. She’s lashing out, and it’s hurting her little girls and that makes me really angry. Apparently young girls being harmed is a real trigger for me. I’m working on it.
My sister is a good person, but VERY difficult live with. Long ago, her husband cheated on her , it was a mess, they got back together and shaking of forgave him. I understand that her stability or personality became worse after that and They are still together, but he really is regarded as a saint by everyone that knows how difficult she is.
I suspect their marriage was rocky for a long time but she thought he would stay for the children. I don’t know but when I read what she said on TV, I kept thinking of Thomas Markle. They seem to have similar traits.
Someone needs to give her Liberty Ross’ number so Liberty can show how to do this properly.
Right on.
I’d say the two situations are quite different. Liberty’s ex was caught by paps in a steamy kiss with a young actress he was directing. He admitted to an affair. Liberty indeed wrote the definitive book on how to act when an AH cheats on you but I am not sure at all that’s the case here.
Usually, a cheater is a cheater. There’s no evidence that Ioan has ever cheated on his wife, last year or at any point during their marriage. She says he did but every time she speaks her timelines and statements are all over the place. Does anyone have pics of Ioan canoodling with another women before he informed his soon-to-be-ex that he was done?
My feeling is that he stuck with increasingly crazy for years for the sake of the kids until he finally couldn’t take it anymore. Based on her actions now, it’s easy to imagine she was bitter and resentful that as she aged, the few roles she had vanished. That’s a brutal industry and not his fault in any way. He is a good actor but no household name, and the gossip on him was non-existent before this mess. He was well spoken of by his colleagues. So… why is anyone taking the word of a woman who is obviously angry and vengeful? I understand heartbreak – which of us hasn’t been there? But the fact that she is being a drama queen on SM feeding off the negative energy of strangers, with no apparent family/friends around her, says a lot about her.
As for comments that she was alone in LA raising the kids, maybe that was her choice – maybe she was hoping that by staying in LA she’d be able to get some roles; meanwhile he has to go where the work is, after all the family needs some income, so not sure why anyone is blaming him for not being there. I suspect he doesn’t get a lot to choose from (which is a pity, loved him in Forever and Horatio). And maybe he finally realized that by divorcing, he may actually see his kids more, on his terms, and without having to put up with her. Is it sad when couples grow apart? For sure. But we don’t know how long it took for that to happen and why it happened.
Anyway, that’s my two cents. I hope the divorce goes through soon and he finds a way to see his children safely, and hopefully she can get treatment because she is clearly not in a good place. Her actions are not out of love or broken heart now, they are the actions of someone angry, who wants to inflict maximum pain on everyone, and is trying to burn everything down around her. Poor kids, and poor Ioan.
Pretty sure Instagram doesn’t notify people of being blocked or unblocked?
Google alert on Iaon(sp) is my guess.
It doesn’t, I just looked it up because that sounded fishy to me.
Separate apps do.
She may be referring to an app that will monitor your instagram.
Imagine how dangerous it’d be if you could get notified that someone blocked you! Clearly, she’s using a lot of tools to stalk her ex
My guess is that she is saying that to make him look cruel, like he unblocked her JUST so she would see that photo of the new couple and al the congratulatory comments.
She did a funny thing during the interview. She didn’t say at first that he rarely calls the children. She corrected herself to “rarely” to vilify him. In the same way she was implying he unblocked her on Instagram just so he could rub her face in his new relationship. But Instagram doesn’t notify you about that. He couldn’t have done it the way she wants us to believe.
And when the host said they called Ioan and his new girlfriend for response, her eyes were wide open. It was clear how much she was craving that response. But they didn’t respond and she was sad again.
She’s a master manipulator.
She’s manipulative, that’s for sure.
My guess is that she has an additional device to keep IG up at all times with his name in the search bar. That or she found out by other means, gossip sites, etc.
I hope the poor kids are shielded from this drama, but I suspect not.
That’s the sad part because they’re so unlikely to come out of this okay. They’ll end up her emotional crutch into their adulthood, tiptoeing around so she feels okay, and giving up on their own wants to keep her happy… and/or hating their father because she’s poisoned his memory.
Neither of those are good for them
@ CJ, I wish someone would try to talk some sense in to her about how much of an awful situation she is placing their children in. Alice is permanently creating a mold for these children to utilize as their type of normal interactions with your spouse or partner. They are going to need a great deal of therapy, otherwise they will have one disastrous relationship after another. I wish someone’s parent, grandparents, would come in and swoop them up. Hopefully both of them so that the children can spend time with each set. Though as I write this out, I am seeing that I am an idiot for suggesting this scenario as Alice will then move in with her parents and interfere with Ioans parents as well!!
I wouldn’t be surprised if she’s already parentifying the oldest girl.
They’re not. She already interrupted a court scheduled vodeo call beateen Ioan and one of their daughters. I hope this gets resolved in court (divorce and custody/visitation) very quickly.
Yeah, the fact that she’s, “leaning in” on his calls with the kids means that not only is she hijacking his parenting time, but she’s spying on it in order to be able to lean in in the first place. Gross.
@HeatherC – Amen!
@Kristen – exactly my thought, she’s sitting there beside the kids the whole time!!
Exactly. Ours are not court ordered but my ex husband and I try to do FaceTime calls with our 7yo and whatever parent she’s not physically with for bedtime. I let the kiddo take the phone and go talk to her dad in the other room etc if she wants to. My ex is always, ALWAYS silently hovering when she talks to me (and occasionally “leaning in,” yep), and it changes everything. There’s no legal reason in our case that he shouldn’t do that, I just think it’s a dick move on his part and on Alice’s as well (and in her case far worse as it *is* court ordered). Let your kid’s other parent talk to their kid!
But then she, like my ex, strikes me as someone who has to control the narrative. When he finally realized I had left him (and I did all the right things, too — telling him how I felt, sleeping in another room while co-living, etc.) he pushed hard to have us both post the same Facebook screed, written by him, as the definitive document on how our marriage ended. I was like, naw. I don’t have to pacify you like this anymore, ’cause I left ya.
FFs have some dignity and keep this ish private. Children are involved, not cool.
“ He’ll talk to me only through lawyers.”
GOOD.
Seeing how unhinged she’s behaving that might be the smartest thing he’s ever done.
Right? There’s a reason he’s doing that, and it’s smart and necessary, unfortunately.
I get that she’s struggling, but wow, she just continues to make it worse. She needs friends, family, and therapy, not interviews and social media attacks.
@ mia4s : “He’ll only talk to me through lawyers”. I was a divorce lawyer and would represent clients from battered women’s shelters. I was the only contact with the toxic ex and it drove them crazy that the woman was refusing contact – and that I would not provide her phone number no matter what BS story they would give me. If your ex is emotionally/physically abusive, no contact is your only choice.
Thanks for the work you did, Sarah. I’m glad those women had you.
@Still Sarah, I had two lawyers do this for me for 12 years. The first retired. The second gave up family law to go back to prosecuting. Both told me that mine was the hardest case they’d ever work on in their lives.
I am deeply grateful for the work you do. Lawyers who practice family law are frequently saving lives. I know my lawyers saved my kid.
Thank you for your work.
So brave of you, Still_Sarah. You must have faced some scary men down. Thank you.
@Christina – I’m so glad those 2 lawyers were there for you, and it is (hopefully) now history to you and your little one. Big hug.
I don’t think she is crazy, “crazy” people tell the same story over and over again because they believe what they are saying to be true. She can’t keep her story straight if her life depended on it. She’s just pulling lies out of her a$$ because she can’t remember what story she told before.
At the end of the day this is the most attention she’s caught in years so she’s going to keep exploiting it, regardless of what her lawyers say or how it affects her children.
She isn’t crazy, she’s seriously psychologically disordered. Big difference. Normal, emotionally healthy people don’t react that way and certainly keep their kids out of it. People with these kinds of psychological disorders (NPD, BPD, HPD) will say anything, change their stories, and make all kinds of lies up in order to exonerate themselves of any blame in the situation. It’s a way of propping up their extremely fragile egos, and coping with their out-of-control emotions and self-obsession.
ITA with this – she absolutely screams cluster B personality disorder to me. My mother had NPD and this is pretty much how she reacted when my father finally, finally left her after 40 years of marriage.
I will say, she is really suffering, because her fragile sense of self can’t cope with the emotional complexity of a marriage breakdown. She needs to lash out, bame her husband and try to get as many people as possible on her ‘side’ just to prop up her very weak inner-world.
She needs to be in treatment, but if she has narcissistic personality disorder it will be almost impossible for her to accept any kind of treatment. I feel really sad for her children who have to try to deal with this situation when they are so young.
Seriously. Imagine getting this much attention for just being Horatio Hornblower’s wife? Now she’s Horatio Hornblower’s CRAZY ex-wife! Much more attention there.
I loved him as Hornblower!
I had an ex who I knew would be overly dramatic when I broke up with him, so I broke up with him back in the day over Messenger after 3 years of dating. I was afraid of his reaction and rightly so. He cursed me out via voicemails for months on end afterwards or threatened suicide on those voicemails. I bet money Ioan wanted to leave long before he did. It took me a solid year to build up the courage to do so.
She’s really gone over the cliff. But that’s the thing with these kinds of delusional people — they live in a fantasy world where nothing, NOTHING is their fault, they don’t believe they’re emotionally/psychologically disordered and they will stop at nothing to blame, malign, lie about and publicly ruin their ex’s reputation. He’s right to only communicate through his lawyer, going no-contact is the only way to handle an out-of-control ex under these circumstances.
Agreed. Any reaction makes it worse.
Totally agree – the only thing her ex can do it not communicate and hope she outs herself as the unstable one (which she is currently doing). People like Alice live in a ‘choose your own reality’ world, and it is absolutely bewildering and exhausting to be around someone like that.
He’s gone grey rock on her, right?
He’s gone further than that. He’s gone no contact. Grey rock is for when you are still in contact with someone.
I see. Thanks fluffybunny.
He calls the lawyers when she leans in when he’s FaceTiming with the kids because those are his court ordered visitation sessions with his children and she is NOT supposed to be part of them. When she sticks her face in, she is interfering with his relationship with his children and violating the court order.
Yeah that bothered me too, he should have private time to talk with his kids, and she’s lurking there listening, and interjecting. It’s not fair to the kids or him.
Yep, she basically admitted on TV she spies on her children’s calls.
She’s an abusive, manipulative POS.
Yes, her face is off-putting. I agree she should call Liberty Ross to get this right.
It annoys me so much when she says that Ioan hardly ever Face Times the kids, but when he does and she leans over to talk, he calls the lawyers. If he really is barely talking to his kids, (something else I don’t believe unless she is actively poisoning their kids against him which I can totally believe) then why is she interrupting the little time the kids so have with him, know how he’s going to react?1 She is breathtakingly selfish and I feel so bad for those little girls
Just finished watching the Betty Broderick series on Netflix (thank you to whomever recommended it in one of the previous Alice Evans posts).
Can you imagine if Betty Broderick had social media back then?
Me, too! I just finished it tonight after binging it over the week based on comments here.
Wonder how many lawyers have fired her. Seriously. She doesn’t seem wealthy enough to be worth sticking around to charge insane billables for putting up with her sh*t and mitigate the damage of her social media/traditional media campaign.
How is she paying for legal help, come to think of it?
I bet he’s paying for her lawyers, actually.
Can the media stop giving her the attention she so badly craves? Also I have no sympathy for him. He’s not some poor victim. If you read about how she acted according to his die hard fans back in the day she’s seems to have always been problematic and unhinged. And the racist shit were she defended Laurence fox and attacked MM happened when they were together. She seems to have always been like this. He just left her now because she got older and gained weight and he wasn’t attracted to her anymore.
Again we don’t know why he left your just repeating what she has said that she can’t even keep straight.
Nope I am just pointing out that she’s always been problematic and racist. You marry someone like that you probably have similar views.
“You marry someone like that you probably have similar views.”
That’s projection.. Also, this stuff (Fox and MM) happened recently and he’s been off to Australia for long enough that I do wonder if he realised he had married a POS and tried to work a way out of his marriage.
“He just left her now because she got older and gained weight and he wasn’t attracted to her anymore.”
Well, no because she gained weight AFTER he left her.
@ Pilar
I said that we don’t know why he left. You said he left her because she gained weight and was old which is what she said. So again that we don’t know why he left her.
I never said anything about her not being a racist or a terrible person because she is.
@Pilar – Ioan didn’t leave her because she gained weight and got old, he gave up after years of her emotional and irrational behaviour, he simply couldn’t handle it anymore. Mr. Jaded’s ex-wife did very similar stuff, and was the one who stormed out of the marriage because she couldn’t deal with facing up to her issues and him suggesting for years that she get therapy, and certainly NOT because he was like her. In fact he was calm, respectful and supportive all throughout their marriage. She refused therapy because, as with many people suffering from PDs, in her eyes she had done nothing wrong and the havoc she wreaked during their marriage was all his fault.
That’s some crazy sh–it. I can’t imagine putting up with that kind of cr–p.I would have to be peace out, for my mental health and my kids’ mental health.
I’ll be different – I feel a little bad for her. I know 3 women who this has happened to – husbands left them for a younger woman after years of marriage. None of them thought anything was wrong with their marriage either. It hurts. I also don’t think these 2 are the easiest or nicest people to get along with by a long shot. She should stop tweeting for the sake of the kids. And I’d be amazed if he wants custody. He strikes me as liking to work and come home for a short period of time to spend with the kids and then go back to work. I don’t think in any way does he want to do the day-to-day of raising kids.
Eh-he’s an actor and not a massive star where’s he pulling down $$ or can be demanding about how/where he works. So I don’t think it’s really fair to say he doesn’t want to do day to day childcare. We have no idea. And I certainly wouldn’t take her word for anything.
“He strikes me as liking to work”
And who would pay for the bills otherwise? She hasn’t worked in endless years, she’s no Meryl Streep…
I know someone where they BOTH cheated, but the wife moaned on and on for years that her husband moved the secretary in 3 months later, when he was bi polar, she only married him because she was pregnant at an early age, and she was cheating too. Some people like to play the victim.
Yeah I don’t understand the hate for her. It’s almost like society loves punishing women for being emotional and raw. Everyone just wants her to shut up and pretend like it doesn’t matter at all. Why should she though? If she wants to badmouth her cheating husband all day every day, I have nothing against that. I find it crazy how people say she’s hurting the kids more than their father leaving their mother and shacking up with a younger model. That is hurting your kids. Yet he almost gets a pass for this, and I can’t understand why. Do we now find it semi-acceptable for men to bail out on their families after a while? I wonder if she was the one who left her husband and kids and shacked up with a younger lover if the reaction would have been “oo crazy Ioan complaining on instagram for what his wife did to him”…
If it was Ioan constantly slandering Alice on social media, insisting she was still his wife after months of divorce proceedings and that she needs to go back to Ioan to stay until the kids are grown-up, people would probably be afraid for her safety and have her get a restraining order.
I really do worry about the kids in this situation. She reminds me so much of my own late mother, who had an untreated combination of bipolar and borderline. Nightmare human being. I went low-contact with her in my 20’s, and it was the best choice I ever made.
Nothing else matters to women like this. And there are men too who behave in this manner when partners leave. They simply can’t contain the pain and desire the other person to feel as terrible and betrayed as they do, and they do it loudly. This happens so much. The light side is you muddle through and crawl out the other side, and the worst is someone gets physically harmed.
Personally, I watched mom do this to my dad, and also, I endured about a year and a half of my ex’s antics. I had to shield my son from message recordings from his dad because they were R rated…he said terrible terrible things, and then immediately follow with a pathetic plea and apologies. My mother dragged me into ridiculous conversations and schemes about what dad was doing and with whom. I was older so it was easy to walk out telling her she needed help, concentrate on anything and anyone else, because she was radically diminishing herself. Eventually some form of logic set in after I told her to get out there and be single! Hell, she’d been married at 19. Time for her and that’s how I pushed her through, but it was HARD. I can NOT imagine if they had social media at their ready. OMG.
I wonder what she will do next if this (likely) will not make him react either
There will be a medical incident.
It is the season for Christmas cancer.
There’s FaceTime and there’s a regular call (audio) so it’s possible he might just call and not do much FaceTime if she’s popping into the screen.
She might get a reality show out of this drama.
Also, how difficult must it be for him to call if she’s going to pop in the convo? He can’t freely talk to his kids because she’s eavesdropping
No, bitch. YOU are every woman’s nightmare. YOU.
“YOU are every woman’s nightmare.”
Possibly every man’s nightmare as well.
Unless you’ve been in her position, you have no right to judge. Infidelity will fuck you up and then having to see this woman who helped ruin your marriage being flaunted as someone to make him happy…it’s fucking painful. She’s for sure handling it way to public for my taste but I’m so sick if cheaters getting away with being complete assholes to their spouses and their new relationships being lauded as fate and bullshit. You e destroyed people for your own selfish wants…she’s pissed off and RIGHTFULLY SO.
The cheating thing is only coming from her no one else ,and we have no reason to believe it was cheating with a woman he then did not see for 13 months as she was in lockdown in Oz
“Unless you’ve been in her position, you have no right to judge.”
My mum was in her position for 12 years (between when she knew my father was cheating and when she could afford to leave) and I can tell you that not only she did nothing of the sort but it was my father who harassed my mum until he died because she had left him. Abusive people behave like that and I am really sorry to hear you are defending one.
Alice Evans is an abusive POS and I will never defend her. If my mum had behaved like that, God knows what would have happened to my brother and I. We’re sane because my mum kept it together.
LOL, no.
You are so incredibly blessed to not have had an encounter with someone clearly in the grips of a Cluster B disorder who is finally losing control.
And let’s not cover for abuse as the righteousness of a woman scored, please.
She cheated on her first fiance with the man who is now her husband. They got together when they were shooting a movie.
If a woman cheated on her husband* and then asked for a divorce, but the husband went all over IG etc, interrupted the mother’s court scheduled calls with the children, possibly tried alienating the children from the mother, put her on blast all the time, then 13 months after she asked for a divorce, after she’s filed for divorce, she posts a picture of her and a new boyfriend….the estranged husband directs his followers to harass the boyfriend on social media, etc…
What would you call the husband?
Would you be first in line to call the wife a whore who deserves it?
*no evidence besides Alice’s changing word that Ioan cheated before the separation
I have been in her situation and I never showed my entire *ss like this chick is. You all have to stop pretending this chick’s antics are the norm. They’re not. She is NOT the first woman to get divorced (for whatever reason). She is not the first to deal with alleged infidelity. And she certainly won’t be the last.
Plus, she cheated on her fiance with Ioan. It’s a bit rich to act aggrieved when she stepped out on her other engagement with this guy. As the saying goes, “how you got him is how you lose him”. If she hasn’t learned that at her big age, oh well.
My worst nightmare is toilet snakes.
But I guess I can see where she’s coming from. I never considered publicly outing myself as a tragic attention-seeker with no friends but I can totally see why that would, in fact, be a nightmare.
“Nobody talks about this sort of thing so I thought I would be that person.” All I hear are Exhibits A through Z in a custody battle.
I think behaving like Alice Evans following a breakup is MY worst nightmare. Please, if my husband and I ever divorce, let me keep my shit together better than this.
right! make him regret it, not make him thankful he pulled the plug on my insane *ss!
“I think behaving like Alice Evans following a breakup is MY worst nightmare. Please, if my husband and I ever divorce, let me keep my shit together better than this.”
Ditto!
My first husband left me (a 10 year relationship) out of the blue one day and said he just didn’t love me anymore (even though the day before we were literally planning a vacation to celebrate our anniversary and seemed in love and normal). So I feel for her if she felt like the rug was pulled from under her, it’s the worst feeling in the world and you feel like an idiot for missing any signs. Of course in my case it was another woman who my husband was too much of a coward to tell me he wanted to be with her (spoiler alert: they married, had a baby and a bad divorce and she lives 1000 + miles away from my ex so it didn’t work out). It’s tempting to drag your ex when you’re hurt (and him dating a woman 2 decades younger doesn’t help) but she really needs to get off sm and find help. Living a good life is the best “revenge.” It hurts, I get it and maybe her ex was shady (hard to tell because she isn’t a reliable narrator) but she really needs help for the kids and herself. This isn’t a good look and isn’t helping anyone .
This is a great comment and I’m so sorry for what you went through. I also experienced something similar about 15 years ago and wouldn’t wish it on anyone.
MRI scans have shown that romantic rejection has similar effects on the brain to that of a drug addict suffering from a withdrawal. There’s a great paper titled Reward, Addiction, and Emotion Regulation Systems Associated With Rejection in Love.
I really hope Alice can get help and both parties can move on and do what’s best for their kids.
That’s very interesting. I’ve never been rejected by a spouse but I have been by a boyfriend, and yes, it is very painful. It almost has a physical impact. A friend whose boyfriend of two years broke up with her because of their religious differences (he didn’t cheat or anything, he just realized there was no future and it was time to end it) was hurting so much she had to go home from college. She couldn’t sleep or eat. Her father was a doctor and he gave her something to help her sleep and calm down. She was gone for more than a week.
I realize Alice Evans is acting unhinged, and I imagine her husband has good reasons for wanting out of the marriage, but she’s a person and she’s going through something very difficult. She’s not handling it well.
After he left, they began by communicating with each other, but it must have really deteriorated because of her harassment. So he moved all communication through wizard.
In the Lorraine interview, she said he rarely communicates with his children. I don’t believe her. He has been back living in the U.S. since August 2020, when he informed her he no longer loved her and they lived estranged within the home. He formally moved out in January of 2021. He has been in America for most of 2021, until the end of August, when he left to film a project overseas for three months, where he is now. Before that, he has had weekly visitation with his children, until Alice turned the oldest one against him, and the oldest one refused to see him unless he came to the family home, which he won’t do. Hmmm. I wonder who put her up to that. Manipulating her own child. Alice was trying any way she could to get him to see her, so used the daughter. Reading her tweets exposes how much she is using them to get back at him.
At the very end of March, she had to walk back comments she made. See below. Ioan’s lawyer must have contacted her. She had to admit she lied and that the kids were doing okay. And back then, from what she wrote below, the oldest daughter was fine staying at Ioan’s.
““I can’t find where I said this [the blurb about how the girls “cry every day”] but I’m sure I did, and I should have been more careful with my words. They cry a lot, but kids tend to anyway, and ‘they cry every day’ is definitely hyperbole! I’m sorry. They’re doing much better than I would have imagined, to be honest. Just that there are certain discussions about the future (near and far) that come up that make them sad. And as yet, I don’t have any answers. But Ella has already worked out that she can get a lot more Ubereats [sic] deliveries by going back and forth between two abodes. So that’s at least one silver lining already. Thank you again for all your love and support. You’ve no idea how much it means to me.”
Why are you still covering this? It’s not interesting. This woman is behaving badly and needs help.
I guess watching my life disintegrate because of my own actions and being unable to control myself from exacerbating the crisis is one of my nightmares, so technically she has a point.
Actually, no. My worst nightmare is something really awful happening to my kids, for whom I would take a bullet. A cheating husband would suck, but it would not kill me.
I’m not saying it isn’t ANYONE’S worst nightmare – clearly it is – but it’s certainly not mine. I know many women who bounced back from divorce (regardless of who initiated it) and ended up making their second chapter their best chapter.
Does she sound like Betty Broderick?? I hope she gets help. She seems to be in a lot of pain.
This is the kind of woman who would think “Oh! Maybe there’s a chance he wants to talk” if her husband tripped while running away from her murderous rage.
She is UNHINGED.
It is my worst nightmare to be living my mental health disorder out loud and at it’s worst with a giant platform to watch me and rejoice in my fall. Impacting children with my health issues? Unacceptable. Already beyond my worst nightmare.
her extreme reaction to rejection isn’t healthy or ok.
He can be a cheating ass who pressures women to be thin and likes em young. He can be a useless typical rich man twerp. That doesn’t mean she gets to hurt her children this way.
She needs therapy stat and a social media ban. This is gonna hurt real bad when she comes out the other side and she’s lost her kids for abusing their visitation rights, and abusing the children themselves emotionally.
I don’t like watching this.
“And when I lean in, he’ll call the lawyers”
How many times do you think she has she done this? I’m guessing she has made it nearly impossible for him to have a relationship with his kids. If he wanted custody, he could probably get it rather easily.
She’s a hot mess and her well is going to run dry soon re: milking this situation for attention and money.
She is lashing out because she has no control over the situation, and her posts are the only control she has under the circumstances. You’d think that something happening to her kids would be her biggest nightmare. Huh.
I feel bad for her. And yet, the whole thing is horrifying, because you can see her lies working in action even in the comments of some people here. People who take it at face value that he did cheat on her with a younger woman for a year before abruptly breaking up with her out of the blue. It shocks me how people who don’t know any of the details are so quick and eager to believe a woman who behaves so poorly, and lies so frequently.
“There must be some grain of truth to the accusations”–no, there doesn’t have to be. There probably isn’t. What is likely the truthful interpretation here is that Alice Evans is a deeply, deeply insecure woman, and always has been. She lives in a world of her own making in order to cope with the weight of the immense insecurities she’s got. Everything she says and does are projections of her own issues onto others. She’s like the person who thinks someone is looking at them and starts screaming, “Are you looking at me? Are you looking at me?!?!” bc she THINKS someone was looking at her when they weren’t.
She’s the one who hates fatties, who is insecure about her weight gain, who used to smoke cigarettes to keep her appetite at bay. She’s terrified of confronting the truth that she is a terrible person who is incredibly difficult to be married to, so the only possible reason her husband wants a divorce from her is bc he cheated bc she got fat and old. The actual answer means she has to make an effort as a person to be better than what she is right now, and she doesn’t want to do that bc that’s hard.
My MIL did this too. The hurt and betrayal cut deep but she sh*t talked him at every turn and several years later when his second marriage went bust she made a play and got him back. Than she cut off most of her friends because of the embarrassment. It was a whole mess.
God I just want to give Ioan a hug. The torture this psychopath has put him through. She is such a bully and a narc. No one should be giving her air time. Look after your kids Alice!
That pic of her with her lips tooched out, kills me everytime. All I can do is shake my head at this chick. I know her children’s teachers know all about this. I would tiptoe around/avoid her.
that pic cracks me up.
As someone whose husband has a high-conflict ex-wife, I’m getting PTSD just reading about this woman’s lies and crap. Unfortunately, high-conflict ex-wives are also high-conflict baby mamas. They will use their kids as pawns, do the absolute MOST to alienate the kids from their father, and she will fight like hell to get as much money as she can in child and spousal support. And women like her never stop. Years after the divorce, she will still find every opportunity to make a nuisance of herself just to hassle her ex and his significant other, and play victim when she absolutely is not a victim. Marriages end, some people grow apart and become incompatible. A person who do not wish to be part of a marriage anymore should not be punished for changing their mind and wanting better for themselves.
More to come as she is on inside Edition today
Oh boy… she cray cray. She needs a therapist.
I don’t think that’s how IG works, you don’t get a notification if you’re unblocked, as far as I know
She is menopausal and hormonal as hell and he is going through a stupid manopause, mid life crisis. Horrible combination but I am completely on her side. He has been gas lighting her for years and I doubt this is his first affair, it’s just the one he fell in love with. I have experienced her pain. He had her where he wanted her until he grew tired of her. She gave up her career to raise the kids. Lucky her until he’s dumped her for a younger model. He’ll probably have a child with the new one. He disgusts me. Alice has been traumatized by a liar. I feel very bad for her.
I’m Team Kids. She is interrupting his parenting time/visits which only damages the kids. Whatever is going on between the two of them in this messy situation, by what we know and released by HER, she’s deliberately pulling them right into the fray. She needs to stop, take a breath and decide which she wants more, on line “revenge” or happy kids.
Nah. People have the right to leave people. And the damage she is doing to her children is traumatising. She should be thinking of them first, but she clearly can’t.
Did you also use your children as granates to explode in your exes face? Or were you selfaware enough that it is not their fault?
This woman is so abusive, she can no longer abuse him directly so she’s stalking him and everybody around him, trying to humiliate him with lies, exaggerations and smears. She wants to isolate him so she lies claiming he said terrible things about his colleagues. She wants to destroy his reputation. Ruin his relationship with his kids. All because he doesn’t want her and won’t engage with her any more.
I wish the press was more responsible and educated about abusive relationships and coercive control. The headlines should be about how her behaviour is abusive. It should be educational, using her behaviour as an example, not a platform for her to abuse, manipulate and smear.
Nobody owns another person. We’re all allowed to leave relationships and have the right to do so without being on the receiving end of an international hate campaign.
She’s going to lose full custody over this behaviour of hers. I think she’d benefit from therapy, meditation and some meds.
She did another interview this week that was cut down to about a minute from originally 90 minutes (the host had told her that they might cut things out for legal reasons, so I’m curious on that one). The bits they left in very rather cringe https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d45tC_0TUWk&feature=emb_title
She said she found out he was leaving her via IG . Well thats another lie
2 years ago he was in The Guardian saying the marrriage was in trouble ,13 months ago he told her he did not love her and when he then phoned his parents she took pictures of it
Bianca has deactivated her IG after Alice asked her followers to stalk her friends for more info. The restraining order is only a matter of time
Some #TeamAlice supporters added her, her mom and sister and Alice into a group chat and started bashing her. This is disgusting
I don’t understand why their accounts aren’t being shut down for bullying. That goes against all the SM sites supposed guidelines.
She’s out here acting like a crazy rabbit on crack. Has she found and attorney yet? Has she filed a response yet? Took a peek at the record for their case online, shows only IG as having legal representation. She has as yet to file anything or an attorney file an appearance.
She’s playing with fire, all crazy out here on twitter and Instagram. She’ s going to wake up soon and everything will be over, divorce granted, custody resolved, prenup upheld, property issues resolved, and she will still be ranting to her flying monkeys about “her husband”.
She better put on her big girl panties and come back to the real world and deal with these issues. The judges are not her parents who obviously created this and unleashed it on the world.
But Taylor Swift is not publicly harassing her exes and being a manipulative psycho? Ok then…
Taylor Swift doesn’t have children from any of her exes that she deliberately interrupts their time with the kids. She doesn’t have children that she is pulling into the middle of this for what end? That is the tipping point for me. The kids.
I mean I agree, but neither was Jake married to Taylor and left her and their two kids for a much younger model so ….
He left her because she has a terrible personality, is controlling, abusive and manipulative. She proves it every time she opens her mouth. All her drama is an attempt to shift the blame to him, because she can’t accept the consequences of her actions. But she’s fooling no one. What we have here, is a narcissist. It just reeks of Thomas Markle.
Oh please, he was in a relationship with her for 20 years! He knew full well what she was like and married her and had children with her. Stop excusing his behavior.
So he is not allowed to come to his senses, save himself for the sake of his own sanity and mental health?
He has done nothing wrong but finally decided he had enough. No one should have to stay in a toxic marriage simply because they have been with the person a long time or had children with them. Those are the worst reasons to stay.
She is an adult and should take ownership of her behavior. She is out here on twitter harassing people instead of taking care of her business.
