Former Maroon 5 bassist Mickey Madden faces allegations of domestic violence and engaging in inappropriate texting with minors.

Former Maroon 5 bassist Mickey Madden, 46, is facing serious allegations concerning an incident involving his wife, Kate Bowman. Recent reports from Media News Source indicate that Madden has been accused of domestic violence after Bowman discovered inappropriate communications directed towards minors on his phone.

The troubling revelations emerged on July 21, when Bowman reportedly learned from an external source about Madden’s conduct. Concerned for her safety and the implications of his actions, she searched through his phone, uncovering messages that discussed explicit and inappropriate topics, including a solicitation for explicit images and references to a sexual fantasy involving rape.

Following this discovery, an altercation allegedly ensued. According to court documents filed by Bowman, when she confronted Madden about the messages, he became violent, reportedly slamming her against a kitchen counter and pushing her into various surfaces within their home. Ultimately, Bowman managed to escape the encounter. Since that day, she claims that Madden has attempted to apologize for his behavior, although she has not seen him since the incident.

In the restraining order request, Bowman provided several pieces of evidence, including text messages purportedly from Madden and a handwritten seven-page letter of apology. The letter reportedly details Madden’s intention to seek treatment for what he identified as a sex addiction, expressing a desire to confront his demons and return as a better person
