Alice Evans has taken on internet trolls who threatened to sue her after she revealed she planned to expose their identities.
The 55-year-old actress has faced an outpouring of hate online since she became embroiled in a public and bitter custody battle with her ex-husband, Ioan Gruffud, over their two daughters Ella, 14, and Elise, 10.
Earlier this year, Alice said she would take legal action against her critics if she could afford it.
But when a troll promised to press charges against Alice if she continued her pursuit, the 10 Things I Hate About You actress took a screenshot and responded in an Instagram post.
She wrote: ‘Sorry guys, this will only stay online long enough for the ladies to screenshot it in case they contact Interpol.’

Alice continued: ‘You have no legal recourse against me if I reveal your names. And yes, even if you somehow manage to alert the prosecutor here that I have ‘exposed’ you [like they don’t have enough to deal with here with chasing up actual murderers and violent offenders] the prosecutor would laugh at you too!
‘You are not citizens! You are part of a structured hate site that either needs to be taken down or its users need to be exposed before someone commits suicide.
“If you want to ‘sue’ me in a civil court – BE MY GUEST! You are a bunch of lunatics and you convince each other that you have some moral or ethical argument that protects your identity and allows you to harass me all day, every day, freely and without recourse.
“I’m not bothering you. I’m just exposing you.”
Alice continued in the comments section: ‘The post is coming soon. Haters from the US and Australia should post their screenshots while they can.
“I won’t let filth stay on my page for long. I’ve called you haters, trolls, harassers, and I believe you’ve made questionable sexually related statements about me and my children. I have them all.”
Alice’s war with trolls on Tattle began when her ex-husband’s new fiancée, Bianca Wallace, launched an extraordinary attack on the actress, accusing her of ‘stalking, harassing and assaulting Ioan’.
This prompted people on Tattle to post a flood of hateful messages about the 102 Dalmatians actress on the site.

In response to the hate, Alice wrote on Instagram: ‘I’m fed up. I’m a single mother who takes care of my children 100% of the time. I need to make money to support them.
‘Some of these angry women have even gone so far as to contact my future employers and beg them to fire me.
“I have never abused anyone. I am one of the nicest people you could meet (many will agree). I will deal with the legal side of the endless trolling and lying about me when I have more money. [and] “My life is back on track.”
50-year-old Welsh actor Ioan announced his engagement to Australian actress Bianca, his girlfriend 19 years his junior, in January.
Following their acrimonious divorce in March 2021, Alice and Ioan have been embroiled in a public legal battle, which has led to name-calling that threatens to undermine their respective careers.
Bianca recently claimed that Alice created fake social media accounts with the aim of intimidating them, after she was given a restraining order preventing her from mentioning him on social media.
In a series of posts on Instagram, Bianca then shared 4,512 pages of social media messages in which Alice either mentioned her or Gruffudd, as well as links to court documents detailing the three-year restraining order he had filed against her as a result of the persistent messages.
