Ioan Gruffudd claims ex Alice Evans set up fake Twitter accounts to brand him & new girlfriend as ‘child abusers’
IOAN Gruffudd has accused his ex-wife of setting up fake Twitter accounts to brand him and his new girlfriend "child abusers", court documents show.
The Fantastic Four actor, 49, claimed his ex Alice Evans, 54, screamed at him outside his LA home and called him a "f***ing abuser" in front of their 13-year-old daughter, Ella.
The revelations came in documents filed at the LA Superior Court after Ella applied for a restraining order against her dad and his girlfriend Bianca Wallace.
The teenager also applied for civil harassment protection from 30-year-old Wallace.
It's understood she made the requests after an incident at Gruffudd and Wallace's home when she was visiting with her sister.
The application is due to be heard in court on Friday.

In the documents seen by The Sun, Gruffudd claimed Evans has repeatedly broken a three-year restraining order which bans her from mentioning him on social media for three years.
The Welsh actor said in the court papers: "There have been a number of anonymous social media accounts set up on Twitter naming Bianca and myself 'child abusers,' and making incredibly slanderous and defamatory claims.
"Alice has slipped up a number of times on these accounts, making clear the 'anonymous' accounts are her accounts."
He added: "Alice has made thousands of false, threatening and harassing posts about me on social media, and she has made false and harassing statements about me to the media."

According to the documents, Wallace also claimed multiple Twitter accounts have been created to post "false statements" about the pair.
Gruffudd also claimed Evans flashed him while wearing no underwear when their children were being dropped off.
He said Evans "asked me to look at her outfit, lifted up her skirt to show me her bare behind, and revealed to me and the girls that she was not wearing underwear".
Gruffudd claimed Evans's "verbal abuse and inappropriate behaviour escalated after I moved out of the family residence" in January, 2021.
"'Alice sent me hundreds of harassing, abusive and threatening communications by text, email, voice message, video message... and she has verbally abused me on the phone and in person, often in front of the girls," he alleges.
The actor also described another incident on February 12, 2021 in the court documents.
He alleges that 102 Dalmatians star Evans called him a "f***ing abuser" after taking his two daughters back to the family home after spending the weekend with them.
Gruffudd claimed Ella "came rushing out" and told him Evans "was being mean to her and did not love her anymore", according to the court papers.
He said: "Alice then ran out of the house to my car, screaming at the top of her lungs. I cannot overstate how loudly she was yelling, 'F*** you! F***, f***, f*** you, you f***ing abuser!
"She called me an 'abusive c***', told me I would never get a job again, and screamed to the neighbourhood that I beat her up and was a 'f***ing abuser.'
"She screamed at me, 'You f***ing took my children away! F*** you!"
Gruffudd said "this entire scene took place directly in front" of his daughter.
"Alice accused me of child abuse, said I did not love the girls, and called me a 'cruel monster'," he added.
"Alice said I was ruining all their lives."
Ioan and Alice split in 2021 after a 14-year marriage and have been embroiled in a very public war of words ever since.
The pair have been fighting a bitter divorce battle.
Gruffudd filed for joint custody of his two daughters last July after Evans filed for sole custody.
And in August last year, he was granted a three-year restraining order against Evans.
Court documents show Evans was banned from posting on social media, "including but not limited to Instagram and Twitter accounts, disparaging or harassing [Ioan] or the other protected person".
Gruffudd previously claimed he was the victim of abuse in their marriage – including being insulted with comments about his appearance.

He would Evans make derogatory comments about his hair loss and said he had “saggy vagina eyes".
Evans previously said she has done nothing to abuse her ex-husband and said she had “no idea” what he was accusing her of.
