etonline.com:

A post shared by @ioangruffuddReferencing the most recent alleged «abusive behavior,» Gruffudd recalled an instance on Feb. 9 in which someone posted from his Instagram account after he informed their older daughter during a phone call that he could not afford to send her to her current school next year.

Their daughter «said something to the effect of, 'You just want to use your money to pay for your girlfriend's movie,'» he said.

The posts to his Instagram account allegedly read, «I cancelled my daughters school so Bianca will be an even bigger star» and «I just removed my child from her school because I need the money for my movie with Bianca.» He claimed Evans shared and then deleted screenshots of the posts on her own Instagram account and allegedly sent him harassing messages through the Our Family Wizard app and a harassing email to his mom. «I believe Alice's behavior since we separated has been intended to harass and intimidate me, and to force me to give her what she wants financially and with respect to custody of our daughters,» Gruffudd said in his declaration. «I believe Alice has also been making inappropriate statements about me to our daughters, and in their presence.

This situation has been extremely stressful and damaging in numerous ways, to me, our children, my mother, and to Bianca. I have asked Alice to stop this behavior many times, and my lawyers have done the same.
