Adam Levine’s former bandmate accused of assault after troubling messages emerge

Ex-Maroon 5 bassist Mickey Madden accused of assaulting wife after she confronted him over messages to underage girls.

Mickey Madden, the former bassist of Maroon 5, is facing serious allegations after his wife, Kate Bowman, accused him of physical assault following a confrontation over messages he allegedly sent to teenage girls. The claims, outlined in court documents filed in Los Angeles, detail a distressing incident that took place on July 21.

According to Bowman, Madden reacted with intense anger when she questioned him about the alleged texts, some of which reportedly included disturbing content. She stated that he grabbed her arms, pushed her against a kitchen counter, and pulled her to the ground. Bowman managed to escape the house, but says Madden followed her outside, pushed her again near a gate, and tried to drag her back inside. She claimed he assaulted her multiple times after finding her in different locations.

In her statement, Bowman said she was able to access Madden’s phone and review the messages after escaping. She supported her claims with screenshots from a home security camera. Following the incident, Bowman moved out of their shared home and has been staying with a friend. She has since filed for a restraining order, expressing concern that Madden may try to find her at her workplace. A judge has granted the order, although a request to remove Madden from the home is pending.

The couple, married for over four years, share two Siberian Huskies named Jam and Toast, which Bowman is seeking custody of. She also mentioned that Madden has historically maintained financial control in their relationship.

Madden left Maroon 5 in 2020 after a previous domestic violence-related arrest. At the time, he said he was stepping away to address personal matters and avoid being a distraction to his bandmates.
