In her filing, Ella is asking a court to order her father to undergo an ‘intervention program for abusers’, with the aim of ‘stopping the abuse’
The restraining order has not yet been issued and will be taken to court later this month.
Ella requests that the restraining order also cover her nine-year-old sister Elsie, noting that she “lives with her sister and is afraid that [Ioan] will also abuse and/or continue to allow my sister.”
She also requests that her father pay “some or all of her lawyer’s fees and expenses” and requests that her phone account and that of her sister Elsie be turned over to their mother, claiming that Ioan “threatened to cancel the subscription of my sister’. phone account and my phone account’.
Along with her application for a restraining order, Ella included a statement as evidence in support of her case, sharing her memory of a bitter argument that she said took place while she and her nine-year-old sister Elsie were visiting their father’s home. on May 26.
The statement is very similar to the one in her request for a restraining order against her father’s girlfriend, Bianca, with the teen claiming she got into a furious argument with the couple over the presence of the actress during a late-night visit.
Ella admits she was ‘so angry’ with her father when she found out Bianca was in his apartment when she arrived that she started throwing food on his bed, on the floor and on him before trying to flee the apartment — which, she says, is when the actress “slammed a door on her head,” leaving her with “a little bump” and a “bruise on her arm.”
She added images of the bruises as additional evidence.
However, in her restraining order against Ioan – who is currently embroiled in a nasty custody battle with Alice, 54, over their two children – Ella adds more detail, claiming she had a “panic attack” before arriving at the property.

According to Ella, when her father picked her up from the West Hollywood police station to begin her late-night visit, he was accompanied by “a psychologist friend” who she said was a man between the ages of 70 and 80, whom she had never met before. meet.
She says they then drove from the police station to her sibling’s school to pick her up, before taking Elsie to a dance class.
“Elsie forgot her leotard so several times suggested we could go back to our apartment which was 10 minutes away since dance class was another hour away,” she says.
‘The defendant [Ioan] refused and drove us to The Grove [shopping mall]. The respondent insisted that we get a new leotard.
“I was overwhelmed by the number of people in The Grove, so I got back in the car. I told him to please let me in the car and to go get Elsie’s leotard.
‘The respondent told me that he could not leave me alone in the car, so that I would have to stay in the car with his psychologist friend. I had never met this man before and he is about his late 70’s to 80’s. I texted my mom because I was having a panic attack.”
She says she then called her mother and started “crying” as she was in the middle of a “full-blown panic attack.”
When her father returned to the car with Elsie, she says he repeatedly told her to “calm down, calm down.”
After they arrived at Elsie’s dance class, according to Ella, Ella had a “panic attack in the bathroom,” prompting them to return to Ioan and Bianca’s house — with the “psychologist’s boyfriend” in tow.
“I was so mad at my dad because this was an overnight visit, and I’d told him in the past that I didn’t want to meet his girlfriend, who was now his live-in girlfriend,” she says.
In her publicly available file, Ella shares an account of an ugly domestic incident that she says took place at her father’s home on May 26.
“Instead of listening to my wishes, my father had the court order the overnight stays while his girlfriend lived with him. I was so upset that I poured milk on his bed, poured mustard on the floor and threw raw oatmeal on him.’
At that point, Ella says her father and Bianca began calling her “manipulative, abusive, and narcissistic,” which led to her deciding she “couldn’t be in that apartment anymore.”
However, when she tried to leave the premises, she says that Bianca “tried to block her” by “raising her arms” and then “slammed the door on her … hit her both on the head and on the arm.”
She states that her nine-year-old sister was “right behind her when this happened.”
According to Ella, she and Elsie managed to get out of the apartment and “ran out” with their father chasing them.
“The respondent told me to come back and told him, ‘Your girlfriend slammed the door on me!’ And the respondent kept saying, ‘No, she didn’t, no, she didn’t, stop lying,'” she recalled.
The teen says she called 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 and take them back to their mother’s house, she noted that this “ended the incident.” ‘.
She notes that both her nanny and Mr. Faulk have agreed to testify in her case against her father and his girlfriend.
Ella also adds notes on “history of abuse” in her statement in this filing, stating that her father has “called her a liar and a gaslighter” on every occasion when she mentioned “her feelings or opinions” to him.
She claims he has “threatened to call the police for the past two years if she misbehaves during his visiting hours.”
The teen closes the statement by saying, “I fear the defendant for my personal safety and respectfully request that the court issue a restraining order for five years.”
Ella’s account of the shocking incident marks the latest dramatic development in a bitter domestic drama that began in 2021, when Ioan left his then-wife Alice after 14 years of marriage.
Ioan, the British star of The Fantastic Four, and Alice, best known for her role in 102 Dalmatians, have been fighting a bitter divorce ever since.
The actor has already received a restraining order against his estranged wife, barring her from mentioning him on social media for three years.
Both Ioan and Alice are seeking custody of their daughters, with both claiming they have no money.
Last month, the former couple’s $2 million Los Angeles marital home was sold at Ioan’s request after he said he no longer had the money to pay for it, forcing Alice and their two daughters to move into a rental in LA.
Ioan met aspiring actress Bianca in Australia while he was filming the series Harrow, and she recently moved into his Los Angeles apartment.
He and Alice announced that their marriage had ended in January 2021 and he went public with his romance with Bianca in October of that year.
Ioan filed for joint custody of his daughters last July after Alice filed for sole custody.
In addition to requesting visitation rights, Ioan claimed while in custody that Alice had deliberately attempted to cut off communication between him and his children.
He also requested that the girls attend personal therapy and reunion therapy via Zoom with him pending judicial mediation over custody.
Ioan accused Alice of verbally abusing him during their marriage and of repeatedly ‘undermining’ him in front of the girls.
“Alice often joked about my appearance, made comments about hair loss and told me I had ‘drooping vagina eyes,'” the court read.
He further claimed that Alice “caused serious emotional damage to Ella and Elsie by her statements and by interfering in my relationship with them.”
In March of this year, allegations that Alice violated her restraining order were dropped.
