Ioan Gruffudd Accuses Ex-Wife Alice Evans of Threatening His Career and Personal Life as Dramatic Trial Kicks off

Ioan Gruffudd testified that his ex-wife, Alice Evans, threatened to destroy his career by making false, explosive accusations against him.

The “Fantastic Four” star’s trial against Evans kicked off Monday, in which he’s asking the court to renew the restraining order that he and his new wife, Bianca Wallace, had against Evans.

The couple claims Evans has stalked them and trashed them online.

In court, Gruffudd claimed his ex-wife threatened to destroy him and his career by “Amber Hearding” him.

Gruffudd was referring to Johnny Depp suing Heard for $50 million for defaming him in a 2018 Washington Post op-ed about abuse, which he won.

The "King Arthur" actor described one alleged incident in which he dropped off their kids — daughters Ella, 16, and Elsie, 12 —after a scheduled visit, and Evans loudly berated him and yelled obscenities “at the top of her lungs.”

“She said she was going to destroy me and she was going to ‘Amber Heard’ me,” he told the court. “Then she said to the girls, ‘If daddy is ever weird or creepy with you in a physical way, please let me know.'”

“She accused me of being a child molester, a pedophile and a drug addict,” he also claimed. “She said I was out of my mind on s** and drugs and millennials.”

The actor, 52, said he was “disturbed” by the lengths his ex-wife was willing to go to denigrate him.

Gruffudd claimed Evans, 57, told him, “You won’t be an actor, baby, you’ll just be begging for money.”

He added, “I was anxious that she would use my public image to create a scandal bigger than Brad and Angelina. I found that to be incredibly threatening.”

Gruffudd alleged Evans’ threats extended to Wallace, 33, whom he married in April 2025.

“She said she was going to create a false crime that Bianca perpetrated and she would be deported,'” he said, alleging she put a private detective on Wallace.

The exes split in 2021, and their divorce was finalized in 2023. Back in October 2021, Evans accused him of having a three-year affair with Wallace, who was previously her friend, and he denied the allegation in court.

In February 2022, Gruffudd filed for a restraining order against Evans, claiming that she “repeatedly told me between August 2020 and our separation on January 1, 2021 that if I left her, she would make false public accusations about me, sell false stories about me to the press, and destroy me and my career.”

He further alleged that Evans “told me verbally multiple times that she would do to me what Amber Heard did to Johnny Depp.”

Gruffudd was granted a three-year restraining order against her in August 2022, but the drama continued.

The exes’ oldest daughter, Ella, filed for a restraining order against both her father and Wallace in June 2023, though it was denied.

In July 2024, Evans pleaded with the Los Angeles Superior Court to order Gruffudd to pay her more child and spousal support, alleging she was on the brink of bankruptcy.

“While I am struggling to put food on the table for our children, Ioan is jet-setting around the world,” she alleged in court. “I have drained all of my personal savings paying my prior attorneys in this case and paying for my expenses."
