'Confusion and Conflicts': Alice Evans Clashes with Ioan Gruffudd Over Financial Allegations

Alice Evans has rejected the claim by her ex-husband Ioan Gruffudd that she asked her children to write unflattering text messages about him [pictured with daughters Ella, 15 (R) and Elsie, 11 (C)

SCANDALOUS!

Actress Alice Evans, 56, is FURIOUS at her ex-husband Ioan Gruffudd, 51, for revealing text messages from their children, Ella and Elsie, in which they slam him for not helping them financially during their housing crisis.

But in a shocking response, Evans claims that the girls were NOT prompted by her to send those scathing messages - instead, they're just expressing their frustration at being caught up in the fallout from Gruffudd's alleged lavish lifestyle.

The actress said that Ella, 15, and Elsie, 11, were 'sadly well aware of our financial distress' and were simply making their feelings known to their father

According to the thescholarlynote.com, Evans says the kids are "sadly well aware of our financial distress" and are simply reacting to the drastic changes they've experienced since Gruffudd walked out on them. The actress alleges that their former landlord and his wife yelled at the girls repeatedly, leaving them feeling traumatized.

Evans wrote in her filing: "The children are confused as to why we are struggling so much while they see their father living lavishly on social media." She also slammed Gruffudd for making their private conversations public, calling it a violation of their privacy.

But that's not all - Evans is also firing back at Gruffudd's claims that she's wealthy and hiding her true income. In her filing, she reveals that her actual earnings from conventions and other sources in 2024 were just $27,260, far cry from the reported $130,141 that Gruffudd alleged.

Gruffudd suggested that Evans had turned the children against him but Evans said the girls couldn’t avoid the drama because they were screamed at by their former landlord and evicted

The drama between Evans and Gruffudd has been playing out in court for months, with both sides trading blows over their financial situation. The actress claims that she's broke, despite Gruffudd's assertions to the contrary. She even included bank statements and a detailed breakdown of her income and expenses to prove it.

In a stunning twist, Evans revealed that she had to borrow $23,300 from friends last year to stay afloat, and is currently paying off debts totaling $7,625. Meanwhile, Gruffudd has been living it up with his new wife Bianca Wallace, 32 - the couple tied the knot just last month.

As the battle between Evans and Gruffudd continues to rage on, one thing's for sure: these two are not going down without a fight. Stay tuned for more updates on this juicy celebrity feud!
