AceShowbiz - The reason why Ioan Gruffudd's daughter filed a restraining order against him has been unveiled. In a May 31 filing, Ella alleged that her father's girlfriend, Bianca Wallace, "slammed a door on her head" during an argument.
"On Friday, May 26, 2023, I was at the West Hollywood Police Station which is where my parents make custody exchanges," Ella stated in the docs obtained by DailyMail.com. "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," the 13-year-old added. "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 said 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." It prompted her dad and Bianca to call her "manipulative", "abusive" and "narcissistic."
After the row, Ella "decided she couldn't be in that apartment anymore" so she wanted to leave. However, Bianca allegedly "tried to block her" by "raising her arms."
"I was able to make my way around her, and I opened the door," Ella elaborated. "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."
