Maroon 5 star's wife files for divorce after accusing him of abuse and sexting
The wife of former Maroon 5 bassist Mickey Madden has filed for divorce from the musician, following an allegation that he physically attacked her when she confronted him about 'sexting with teenage girls'. Catherine Blair Bowman filed for divorce from Madden, 46, on Wednesday (August 13) after three months of marriage, according to TMZ. The fashion influencer listed 'irreconcilable differences' as the reason for the split. The couple were together for four years prior to getting married in May and Bowman is reportedly requesting spousal support. It comes after she said she was 'terrified' of Madden in court documents filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on July 30. The fashion influencer was seeking a restraining order, with a judge then granting a temporary restraining order, People reported at the time. In documents seen by the publication, Bowman described a series of events which unfolded on July 21, in which she said the bass player went 'insane' after she asked him about the alleged messages with the teenage girls. Bowman's filing stated she asked to see Madden's phone, which he refused, and when she grabbed it and ran out the house she claims he 'became enraged'. Bowman described her efforts to flee in her court filing. The documents said: 'He put both his arms around my body around my abdomen and arms to restrain me. He then slammed my body against the marble kitchen counter.' 'I managed to move around and escape him, got up, and ran out of the house to escape him,' Bowman said in the filing. She continued: 'He ran after me in his underwear and barefoot, caught up to me, shoved me against the gate, and then tried to grab me back to the house.' Bowman said that she 'managed to escape and ran to the street' but Madden 'found [her] twice in different locations, physically abusing me each time'. She included images from ring camera footage to support her claims. In the filing, Bowman said she has been living with a friend since the incident. She also told the court that Madden had apologised to her via text message and said he was planning to seek help for sex addiction. Madden played bass for Maroon 5 – whose hits include Moves Like Jagger and Payphone – for nearly 26 years, but left the band in 2020. More Trending He stepped away from the Adam Levine-fronted pop rock group in July 2020, after he was arrested over domestic violence allegations. 'I have some things that I need to deal with and address right now and so I have decided to take a leave of absence,' Madden said in a statement at the time. 'During this time, I do not want to be a distraction to my bandmates. I wish them the absolute best.'

Maroon 5's former bassist Mickey Madden's wife files for divorce after accusing rocker of abuse, sexting teens
Kate Bowman, the wife of former Maroon 5 member Mickey Madden, has filed for divorce from the bassist — two weeks after she accused him of sending explicit text messages to teenagers. The fashion influencer, who boasts more than 40,000 Instagram followers, filed for divorce on Wednesday after just three months of marriage to the musician, TMZ reports.

Maroon 5 former bassist Mickey Madden's wife files for divorce after accusing rocker of abuse and sexting teens
Kate Bowman, the wife of former Maroon 5 bassist Mickey Madden, has filed for divorce form the musician, two weeks after accusing him of abuse and sexting teenagers. The fashion influencer filed for divorce on Wednesday after just three months of marriage, according to TMZ. She listed 'irreconcilable differences' as the reason for their split, but did not provide a date of separation. Bowman — who was seen in Los Angeles earlier this month following her shocking allegations — is requesting spousal support, while also asking the court to prevent her ex, 46, from receiving any. As the couple has no children, there are no child custody or support issues to address. It's unclear if the couple, who have been together for over four years before tying the knot on May 6, have a prenup. It comes two weeks after Bowman accused him of physically attacking her, after she confronted him about sending inappropriate text messages to teenagers. 'He physically abused me,' Bowman said in court documents filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, in regard to a series of events which unfolded on July 21. 'I'm now terrified of him.' Bowman said the bass player went 'insane' after she asked him about the alleged messages with the teenage girls - which allegedly centered around a rape fantasy. Bowman told the court that he grabbed her arms and slammed her body against a kitchen counter. 'He pulled me to the ground and was out of his mind,' Bowman told the court in her filing. Bowman described her efforts to flee the dangerous situation in her court filing. 'I managed to move around and escape him, got up, and ran out of the house to escape him,' she said. She continued: 'He ran after me in his underwear and barefoot, caught up to me, shoved me against the gate, and then tried to grab me back to the house.' Bowman said that she 'managed to escape and ran to the street' but Madden 'found [her] twice in different locations, physically abusing me each time.' Bowman included screengrabs in her filing from ring camera footage to support her claims. Bowman tried to retrieve Madden's phone, and says she wound up leaving the home afraid for her life. Bowman was able to rummage through the contents of the phone after she ran down the street and hid between cars after escaping the enraged musician's clutches, she said in court documents. Bowman told the court that Madden had never shown that level of outrage prior to their marriage. She was pointed out to the text-related allegations against Madden by a stranger, she said in the court filing. She told the court that she subsequently moved out of the home and has been residing with a friend in the wake of the conflict. Bowman told the court that Madden told her he was sorry via text message, and that he was planning on seeking help for sex addiction. She said she was concerned about Madden's potential mercurial reaction when he sees that she used a credit card of theirs to hire a lawyer in the wake of the July 21 incident. Bowman has asked for a restraining order preventing Madden from approaching within 100 yards of her person, place of business, residence or vehicle. She said that Madden has exerted monetary control over her for the duration of their four-year-plus relationship. Bowman said she has since started working a job, and is concerned that Madden will try to track her down at her work. She added that she's put a deposit down for an apartment where she will reside. Bowman is asking for expenses, in addition to custody of a pair of Siberian Husky dogs they own named Jam and Toast. He stepped away from Maroon 5 in July of 2020 after he was arrested in connection with domestic violence; Pictured performing with Adam Levine in 2013 A Los Angeles Superior Court judge granted Bowman a temporary restraining order in connection with the domestic violence allegations, but a request for Madden to vacate their home was not granted, pending a future hearing on the matter. Madden was the bass player for Maroon 5 - whose hits include moves like Makes Me Wonder, Moves Like Jagger and She Will Be Loved - for nearly 26 years, but departed the band in 2020. He stepped away from Maroon 5 in July of 2020 after he was arrested in connection with domestic violence 'I have some things that I need to deal with and address right now and so I have decided to take a leave of absence,' Madden said in a statement at the time. 'During this time, I do not want to be a distraction to my bandmates. I wish them the absolute best.'
