That's my understanding as well. This is is first contact to the board. Add to that the facts that correspondence he has issued before this was always grammatically correct, and he has stated numerous times that he doesn't visit fans sites (he finds it a bit egotistical) and described himself as computer illiterate, while Alice certainly has no problem navigating the 'net. All that considered, I'm not positive that he did write or send the letter.
The worst thing about this to me is that the moderater who was banned from April's site was probably the nicest person there. And from what I have gathered, she wasn't even removed because of anything she said at IO. It was because AE believed that she was responsible for the edits to her Wiki page and such.

Have just seen a bunch of articles about how he and Alice are marrying on a beach in America to celebrate their "new life in the States" or something. And that he needs roles so he can pay for the extravagant wedding.
This really wouldn't sound so weird coming out of an actor's mouth if it weren't for the fact that he seems to be regressing. How can a man have sounded so mature in his early 20s, only to sound like a bohunk in his mid 30s?

I haven't been able to stop laughing since I came upon this thread. This chick is craaaazy! One would hope that a semi-working actress would have something better to do with her time than stalk her boyfriend's message boards. And those "EmmaBov" edits on wikipedia? Priceless. I'd want to call her names to her face just to see what kinds of fits she'd fall into. My favorite edit was when she called herself, "A talented writer who writes a bi-monthly column for Glamour." Right, like anyone reads Glamour for the earth-shattering writing. I'd say 'Poor Ioan' but I'll save that for after he breaks up with her and she starts re-editing his wikipedia entry under the name "Cousin Bette".

LOL!
I like how some of the non-Alice edits describe Ioan as her "long suffering boyfriend" who she "ensnared" while on the set of 102 Dalmations. And that they will be married in Cuba with Castro performing the ceremony.
That really is at the heart of the fans' complaints, I think. He was so down-to-earth and self-effacing before he became involved with this attention seeking missile.
All I know is npw I need a new user name since mine was Ioan inspired--from the ship in the Hornblower series.

And that they will be married in Cuba with Castro performing the ceremony. Or how about the one that describes one of her films as a "cult-favorite" for the Scino crowd? Seriously, what is Ioan doing with this girl?

I hadn't checked out his message boards in a long while. Right before Fantastic Four came out, I looked through a couple of his fan sites and read a few articles.
I hadn't even realized he moved to Los Angeles! I was surprised by that news. I'm not sure why. I just assumed he wouldn't relocate to the States. ITA with other posters here that he seemed more self-effacing, intelligent, and witty when he wasn't tainted by the LA atmosphere.
As far as Alice is concerned, um, wow. OK. I still don't mind her quirky clothing and accessories. I haven't kept quite the close eye on him, so I'd feel strange criticizing her to any great extent.
I remember not being too impressed that her and Ioan were hooking up while she was still dating Olivier Picasso. I also kind of remember that Ioan was more reserved in describing how they got together. It almost seemed as if he was uncomfortable. Or maybe that's the wrong way to say it? I don't know.

Hee hee hee!
Ioan and Jamie used to be my Favorite Obscure British Actors Ever (thanks to Hornblower where they both were terrific). Then Ioan started dating Alice, who gave me the creeps right away. And since water seeks its own level, I began to think that if Ioan thinks she's an acceptable partner, then he probably wasn't really all that nice either and I completely lost interest in him.
I used to post on the IO board ages ago and I made an offhand comment that Alice wasn't my cup of tea and April threw a bizarre fit saying, "If it hurts Alice it hurts Ioan, and if it hurts Ioan, it hurts ME!" and edited my post and those of a few others who weren't crazy about Alice either. I quit the board because I thought April was a self-important loon and I just didn't want to deal with her. Fast forward 6 or 7 years - if she's having problems now then I can only laugh.
As for Alice - she's all the worst things about Vergie Arthur, Heather Mills and a pitbull all rolled into one big fashion disaster. Bleh. In hindsight I think Ioan and Alice are perfect for each other: they both suck.
I still love Jamie and his wife is adorable. Kerry is as lovely as Alice is awful.
ETA:
No, you got it right. Before they went public Ioan was pretty cagey about whether he was seeing anyone and only said yes but didn't want to reveal who or talk about it much because it was a tricky situation. Then Alice starting bragging that she was his girlfriend in a "Hey girls, look who IIIIII gottttttt!" sort of way and TMI-ed about their relationship and sex life (much to Ioan's embarrassment) and bashed on Picasso.
Poor Oliver. At least he didn't marry the skank.

My interest in Ioan slowly declined after he hooked up with Alice and made her his life's focus. I still think he's goodlooking and I used to enjoy his film roles. Now he's all Hollywood and shit.
I wasn't aware of her craziness at the time. I just thought it was shallow of them to hook up while she was still in the midst of a longterm relationship with Olivier.

She dished on their sex life? What did she say?
Reading Alice's shitfit on Wikipedia just makes me laugh. She seems like such a nutjob. I never knew anything about this chick until I read the last few pages and now I definitely think less of Ioan for hooking up with her.
Fansites should just cut her out completely. Don't mention her AT ALL. Don't post any pics that have her in it. If Ioan goes to some premier, post photos of only him and provide a link to where they can find the others, if that. She'd probably lose it over that too. "You trying to cut me out of his life 'cuz ur jus' jellus!"

Exactly. I think if Ioan fansites completely disallowed pictures of Alice, she'd still throw a shitfit.
