Ioan Gruffudd’s eldest daughter, Ella, has accused his girlfriend, Bianca Wallace, of abuse in court filings obtained by the Daily Mail. Ella, who has a restraining order against Gruffudd and Wallace, claims that Wallace “slammed a door on her head” during an argument at her father’s home. The filing includes images of bruises on Ella’s arm and hand that she says resulted from the alleged altercation, and a hearing for both cases is scheduled for later this month.
Ioan Gruffudd’s 13-year-old daughter, Ella, has accused his girlfriend, Bianca Wallace, of abuse after Wallace allegedly slammed a door on Ella’s head during an argument at Gruffudd’s home, leading Ella to throw milk and oatmeal at her father and prompting her to obtain a restraining order against both Wallace and Gruffudd.
Ioan Gruffudd, known for his role in “Fantastic Four,” is facing allegations from his 13-year-old daughter, Ella, of abuse by his girlfriend, Bianca Wallace. According to court documents obtained by the Daily Mail, Ella claimed that Wallace “slammed a door on her head” during an argument that occurred on May 26. This altercation allegedly occurred after Ella was blindsided by meeting Wallace for the first time during an overnight visit to her father’s home.
Ella reportedly threw milk, mustard, and raw oatmeal at Gruffudd, prompting the pair to call her “manipulative,” “abusive,” and “narcissistic.” However, when Ella attempted to leave, Wallace allegedly tried to block her by raising her arms, leading to a physical altercation. The court documents included images of bruises on Ella’s arm and hand, which she says resulted from the confrontation.
Following the incident, Ella requested a restraining order against Wallace for five years, claiming that she “is afraid” for her “personal safety.” In response to the allegations, representatives for Gruffudd did not immediately return requests for comment. Hearings for both cases are scheduled for later in June.
This is not the first legal battle that Gruffudd has faced in recent years. After filing for divorce from his wife Alice Evans in March 2021, Evans accused Gruffudd of having a three-year affair with her friend and claimed that he “mentally tortured” her during their marriage. In response, Gruffudd filed a request for a restraining order against Evans, claiming that she threatened to “make false public accusations” and “destroy” his career if he left her. Despite their ongoing custody war over their two daughters, Gruffudd was granted a three-year restraining order against Evans.
Less than a week after the alleged incident with Wallace, Gruffudd and Wallace were photographed together out and about in Los Angeles with their dog, appearing to be in good spirits.
Overall, this situation serves as a sobering reminder of the importance of addressing allegations of abuse and taking them seriously. It also highlights the complexities of navigating family dynamics and the legal system in high-profile relationships.
