Share this @internewscast.com

Musician Mickey Madden, a one-time bassist for the Adam Levine-fronted band Maroon 5, is accused of physically attacking his wife after she confronted him about sending inappropriate text messages to teenagers.

‘He physically abused me,’ Madden‘s spouse Kate 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.

Madden went ‘insane’ when Bowman asked him about the situation, Bowman told the court, grabbing her arms and slamming 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.

Daily Mail has reached out to reps for Madden, and an Instagram account the musician appears to run, for further comment on the story.

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 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.

Bowman was pointed out to the text-related allegations against Madden by a stranger, she said in the court filing.

Bowman told the court that she subsequently moved out of the home and has been residing with a friend in the wake of the conflict, she said in the court filing.

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.

Bowman said that Madden has exerted monetary control over her for the duration of their four-year-plus marriage.

Bowman said 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.

The bassist was seen onstage in Brazil on March 1, 2020, weeks before COVID-19 shut down live shows in the country for months and four before he left the group

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.’
