Ioan Gruffudd and Alice Evans' bitter divorce has turned even more sour as he accused her of branding him a "child abuser" on social media.

The actor and Alice split in 2021 following a 14-year-long marriage after he embarked struck up a new romance with his new girlfriend, Bianca Wallace.

In new court documents, Ioan, 49, claims his former wife called him an "abusive c**t" and breached her restraining order which had been implemented for three years.

The King Arthir actor also alleges that Alice revealed her bare bottom when he dropped their children, Ella and Elsie off at her Los Angeles home.

In documents obtained by the Mirror, Ioan claims: "Since May 26 there have been a number of anonymous social media accounts set up 22 on Twitter naming Bianca and myself "child abusers," and making incredibly slanderous and 23 defamatory claims.

"I sought and obtained the DVRO [domestic violence restraining order] against Alice in part because she was using her social 26 media accounts to continue to harass, threaten, and disturb the peace of both me and Bianca.

"Most of 27 the accounts were public and I saw that Ella accessed many of them."

The Welsh actor also alleges that his daughter, Ella, hacked his Instagram account and shared "unsavoury comments", which Alice then shared on her own account.

"With the children not in therapy again and Alice's behaviour worsening, by February 26, 2022, I had to seek a restraining order against Alice," he added.

Despite Alice and Ioan's relationship ending in 2021, he states that he made it clear in August 2020 that he wasn't happy in their marriage but alleges Alice threatened to "ruin him", should he walk out.

He goes on to claim that if he made the decision to leave, she would claim he had abused her and their daughters and "take the girls away".

The actor moved out of the family home on January 25, 2021, but believes her "abuse" has escalated since then via threatening texts, emails, voice messages and video messages.

Ioan alleges that Alice has inflicted "serious emotional harm," on their daughters and has interfered with their relationship.

The actor has a three-year domestic violence restraining order against Alice, protecting him and his girlfriend, Bianca which he claims Alice has "violated the DVRO repeatedly".
