Alice Evans appeared in court this week as her ex-husband, Ioan Gruffudd, seeks to renew a domestic violence restraining order against her.
The Vampire Diaries actress became emotional during her testimony on the fourth day of the trial, describing the shock she felt when she learned that her marriage to the Fantastic Four star had ended.
She told the court that she felt alone and terrified in Los Angeles when she received the news from her husband's lawyer.
The legal battle stems from their 2021 separation. Ioan Gruffudd currently accuses his ex-wife of a long-term campaign of harassment against him and his new wife, Bianca Wallace.
In response, Alice Evans denies these claims of ongoing harassment. She asked the judge to dismiss the request for a new restraining order.
The two parties also continue to dispute financial matters, specifically the levels of spousal and child support payments required from Ioan Gruffudd.
During her testimony, Alice Evans addressed the social media posts that led to the initial restraining order.
She admitted that she frequently sent angry emails and posted derogatory messages about her ex-husband and his new partner.
She expressed significant regret for these actions, stating that she feels "mortified" by her past behavior online and offered an apology to Bianca Wallace.
Ioan Gruffudd argues that he should stop paying spousal support due to what he describes as persistent domestic abuse and multiple violations of the existing restraining order.
The couple married in 2007 and shares two daughters. As the trial continues, both sides remain focused on resolving custody and financial issues, marking another chapter in their highly public divorce.
