Evans’ recent statements opposing the appraiser and criticizing her ex were “false or grossly misleading,” Gruffudd said in his new statement to the court.

“The circumstances with our daughters Ella and Elsie and my relationship with them are not what Alice describes.”

“Alice has stated in her own words in multiple posts on social media that I have been trying to get at least 50/50 custody of Ella and Elsie and that she doesn’t want to and/or is actively working to prevent it .”

“I believe it is imperative that a special reviewer be appointed at the August 17 hearing to avoid further and potentially significant delays in initiating this important process.”

Gruffudd pointed out that although “Alice argues that a custody review is not necessary,” the girls’ court-appointed attorney and their most recent therapist both support the appointment of an expert witness.

“Alice told me, among other things, that she had been unwell for years and wanted a divorce, she attacked my looks and my career, threatened to call the police and told Ella that she was going to have a new father soon…

“I believe witnessing this behavior was unhealthy and distressing for the girls, and I believe Alice’s behavior was abusive not only for me but also for the girls.”

Gruffudd – now with girlfriend Bianca Wallace, 31 – recounted an incident on Ella’s 11th birthday when “Elsie sent me a video of Ella arguing with Alice.” Ella said she was upset that Alice broke her promise not to drink alcohol and begged Alice to stop bringing me up in every conversation.
