13-year-old daughter of actor Ioan Gruffudd has sensationally accused his girlfriend Bianca Wallace of 'abuse' - alleging that the 29-year-old Australian actress 'slammed a door on her head' and left her with 'bruises' as she tried to flee their home following a furious argument. Ella Evans - whose mother is Ioan's ex-wife Alice Evans - made the explosive claims about her 49-year-old father and his new partner while filing for a restraining order against them both in a Los Angeles court last month.
In the May 31 filing, which has been obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com, the teen requests a restraining order against Bianca for five years for herself and her nine-year-old sister Elsie, stating that she 'is afraid that [she] will abuse and/or continue to allow abuse to happen to my sister too'.
The restraining order request includes a declaration submitted as evidence to support Ella's case, in which she recounts an incident that she says took place at her father's apartment on May 26, when she met Bianca for the first time.
She claims that the altercation began as an argument over Bianca's presence at the property, during which the teen admits she started hurling food at Ioan.
Ella, whose parents are embroiled in a fierce custody battle over her and Elsie, then says that she tried to flee the property and Bianca 'slammed the door on her head' as she attempted to do so.
'On Friday, May 26, 2023, I was at the West Hollywood Police Station which is where my parents make custody exchanges,' Ella states.
'My father picked me up, and he eventually drove me and my sister to his apartment for our overnight [stay].
'I saw that my dad's girlfriend, the Respondent, was at the apartment. I had known of the Respondent, but I had never met her before. I was so mad at my dad because this was an overnight visit, and I had told him in the past that I didn't want to meet his girlfriend who was now his live-in girlfriend.'
Ella goes on to say that she was 'so upset' with her father that she 'threw milk on his bed, poured mustard on the floor, and threw raw oatmeal on him'.
In response, she says her father and Bianca 'called her "manipulative", "abusive" and "narcissistic"'.After the row, Ella 'decided she couldn't be in that apartment anymore' and attempted to leave - when she says Bianca 'tried to block her' by 'raising her arms'.
'I was able to make my way around her, and I opened the door,' the document continues. 'I was able to walk halfway out the door, but while I was still in the door frame, the Respondent slammed the door on me, causing the door to hit me on the head as well as my arm. My arm got bruised, and I had small bump on my head.'
The filing includes images of bruises on Ella's arm and hand, which she says she sustained during the altercation.
According to Ella, she was able to make her way out of the apartment and she 'tried to run down the stairs' while her father chased after her.
'My dad caught up with me and he was trying to stop me from leaving, and trying to grab me, and I kept dodging him. I kept screaming, "Don't touch me! Don't touch me!"' she recounts.
'I was able to get away, and I ran outside with my sister.'
Ella says that Ioan ran after his daughters and 'eventually caught up to them', alleging that she 'yelled at him, "Your girlfriend slammed a door on me!" to which he responded, "No she didn't, no she didn't, stop lying."'
The teenager states that she phoned her nanny, Gloria Flores, who made arrangements for the father of one of Elsie's friends - a man named Dennis Hauk - to pick them up.
'My dad and Dennis agreed that Dennis would drive me and my sister to my mother's house, and my father would follow behind,' she continues.
The following day, she says that her mother, Alice, saw the bruise on her arm and made the decision to call the Beverly Hills police, who referred them to the precinct in West Hollywood, where the alleged incident occurred.
Ella is requesting that the court grant her a five-year restraining order against Bianca, which would prevent the actress from going within 100 yards of the teen, her sister, their home, their schools, and their vehicle.
She is also asking that the court orders Bianca to pay her lawyer's fees.
The temporary restraining order has not yet been granted and will be put before a court on June 23.
