The divorce between Ioan Gruffudd and Alice Evans is growing increasingly bitter, with the separated pair trading disturbing allegations. During Friday’s divorce hearing, the actor informed the court that Evans had $100,000 in her account, even as she solicited funds from fans. A judge subsequently granted Gruffudd a fresh five-year restraining order against Evans amid their ongoing legal dispute. Snorlax / MEGA. Gruffudd has made startling new allegations against his ex-wife, Alice Evans. The Daily Mail reports that during Friday’s divorce hearing at LA Superior Court, the “Fantastic Four” actor revealed to the court that while Evans was publicly begging fans and social media followers for financial help, she actually had a six-figure sum in her bank account. The “Vampire Diaries” star had shared her alleged money woes openly, stating she was “broke,” couldn’t buy groceries, and struggled to support their daughters, Ella and Elsie, after splitting from their father in 2021. She also expressed fears of homelessness amid her financial hardship. This led fans to contribute thousands of dollars to a GoFundMe campaign she set up. Gruffudd informed the court that Evans posted on social media that she launched the GoFundMe “because her world had fallen apart…she was a struggling single mother who had exhausted all her resources and accounts and had no money for food and no help.” However, the actor claimed that when Evans issued the social media appeal for help, “she was residing in the family home and [he] was covering all her costs.” According to her own account, she had roughly $100,000.

However, Gruffudd wants the court to terminate the payment entirely, citing her “persistent domestic abuse” against him and her “many violations of a previous restraining order.” The news outlet reported that he also claimed to have already “overpaid” her by nearly $400,000. As the court hearing continued, Gruffudd’s attorneys questioned Evans about a $90,000 withdrawal from their shared account that she allegedly hid with their nanny. She acknowledged transferring $10,000, $30,000, and two $24,000 payments to the nanny, but said the housekeeper was fighting cancer and the funds were an advance for her services to cover medical needs.
