Alice Evans LAUGHS outside LA court, as she faces arrest for refusing to show up to earlier hearing after ‘violating restraining order’ taken out by estranged Fantastic Four star husband

• Alice Evans appeared in a Los Angeles court for her arraignment for two restraining order violations after she failed to show up on Thursday 
• Evans, 54, who is in the midst of a bitter divorce battle with estranged husband Ioan Gruffudd, was banned from mentioning him on social media last February 
• Details of Evans’s alleged breach were not revealed but the Fantastic Four actor filed the restraining order in February last year

Alice Evans finally showed up at court in Los Angeles on Monday morning after previously failing to appear to answer two charges of violating a restraining order that was put in place by her estranged husband Ioan Gruffudd.

Evans, 54, appeared to have been tickled by something as she walked in through the front door of the courthouse clutching her cellphone.

Sporting a wide grin she could be seen laughing to herself and giggling as she hurried past waiting photographers.  

Evans was supposed to have appeared at the Airport Courthouse for a scheduled arraignment last Thursday at 8:30am but neither she nor her attorney called or contacted the court to explain her absence. 

It led to LA Superior Court Commissioner James Cooper to issue a referral for an arrest warrant for the 102 Dalmations star.

Details of Evans’s alleged breach were not revealed but the Fantastic Four actor, Gruffudd,  filed a restraining order against her in February last year.

Gruffudd, 49 was granted a restraining order against his estranged wife (right) last February. He is now dating Bianca Wallace

Gruffudd, 49, filed for divorce in March 2021 – two months after Evans sensationally claimed on social media that her husband of 14 years was walking out on her and their two daughters, Ella, now 13 and nine-year-old Elsie.

She continued blasting her estranged husband online, prompting Gruffudd to seek a restraining order preventing Evans from sharing their private messages or publishing ‘false public allegations’ about him.

Gruffudd’s request for the order was granted following Evans’s online rants against him and his new girlfriend Bianca Wallace and she also banned from mentioning him on social media for three years.

The Welsh actor later filed for joint custody of their two daughters last July after Alice requested sole custody amid their acrimonious divorce. 

As well as requesting visitation rights, he claimed in the filing that Evans had been purposely trying to cut communication between Gruffudd and the girls.

He also petitioned that the girls attend in-person therapy and reunification therapy via Zoom with him pending court-ordered mediation about custody.

Gruffudd in his filing also reiterated allegations that his estranged wife had verbally abused him during their 14-year marriage, and undermined him in front of the girls ‘throughout their lives’.

‘Alice made fun of my appearance often, making hair-loss comments and telling me I had “saggy-vagina eyes,”‘ court papers read.

He went on to claim that Evans ‘has inflicted serious emotional harm on Ella and Elsie by her statements and by interfering in my relationship with them.’

In a video before the former couple’s separation in January 2021, which Gruffudd presented as evidence in the filing, Evans allegedly told Ella she would be ‘getting a new daddy.’

‘In a FaceTime I had with the girls on March 3, Ella said Alice falsely told her that I wanted Alice to commit suicide, and that Ella probably would not have a mummy anymore,’ Gruffudd wrote in the petition.

The divorce has been anything but amicable. Evans has repeatedly taken to social media to speak out about the split, and one post (pictured) accused Gruffudd of using money that should have been spent on their daughters’ wellbeing on his legal case

Last August, the mother-of-two risked breaching her restraining order in a post in which she claimed she was being gaslit and being called ‘fat’ and ‘horrible’ compared to ‘B’ – taken to mean Ioan’s new girlfriend Bianca Wallace

‘Ella told me, ‘Daddy, this is making me very sad,’ and, ‘if I don’t agree with her, apparently I am a bad daughter.’ ‘

Since then, Alice has risked violating her restraining order after taking to social media to post about their separation.

In an Instagram post last August she wrote: ‘I’m working out to try to calm myself down because I am being GASLIT. Freaking GASLIT.

‘With my kids, with the places I usually go to. Everything. I can’t leave the house without being photographed and told that I am fat and horrible whereas ‘B’ is so slim….

She signed off: ‘… I cannot deal for much longer.’

A source said of the recent restrictions: ‘Ioan had no choice but to up his legal fight over Alice.

Ioan now dates Bianca Wallace. He was married to Alice for 14 years before their messy split; they’re now involved in a lengthy court case

The Welsh actor and his younger Australian girlfriend walked Bianca’s dog in West Hollywood last monght, just streets away from his former marital home, still occupied by estranged ex Alice Evans

Gruffudd starred as Mr. Fantastic in the 2005 film Fantastic Four. He claims he’s had trouble getting work recently leaving him unable to afford a $745,000 mortgage on the marital home where he hasn’t lived for nearly two years

‘She had become increasingly volatile and seemingly intent on destroying his career with her character assassination. He hopes this will put an end to it.’

Then, in court documents, Ioan claimed that since the restraining order was put in place, Alice ‘has used her social media accounts to continue to harass, threaten, and disturb the peace of both me and my girlfriend, Bianca Wallace.’

He demanded Alice should not make any posts on any social media account, ‘including but not limited to Instagram and Twitter accounts, disparaging or harassing [Ioan] or the other protected person’ (Wallace).

Plus, he requested Alice not to post his text messages or any other communications to the parties’ children, or the children’s text messages or any other communications to Gruffudd, on any social media account.

He also asked that Alice be ordered not to contact his employers or make disparaging statements about him to his employers.

Meanwhile, it seems the exes have managed to reach a deal to put their $2 million marital home in Los Angeles on the market after Ioan begged a court to enforce the sale before it’s repossessed (pictured)
