Actor's Custody Battle: Daughter's 'Slut' Remark Sparks Boarding School Plea
11 Feb
Summary
- Actor Ioan Gruffudd sought a therapeutic boarding school for daughter Ella.
- Ella allegedly called Gruffudd's girlfriend a 'slut' during a 2023 clash.
- A nine-day trial regarding custody and restraining orders is set to begin February 23rd.

Actor Ioan Gruffudd sought to place his daughter Ella in a therapeutic boarding school after a significant confrontation involving him and his girlfriend, Bianca Wallace, in 2023. The incident, which occurred during a custody visit, allegedly saw Ella, then 13, refer to Wallace with a derogatory term and vandalize Gruffudd's property.
Following this event, Gruffudd amended his custody request, focusing solely on his younger daughter Elsie and seeking sole physical custody while proposing the boarding school for Ella. His ex-wife, Alice Evans, has since been awarded 100% custody, and Gruffudd has had no visitation. A nine-day trial is slated to begin on February 23rd.
