According to the New York Post and TMZ, Just two weeks ago, fashion influencer Kate Bowman confronted Madden about allegedly sending explicit text messages to teens and claims in divorce filing documents that he went “insane” and grabbed her arms before slamming her body against the kitchen counter.
“He pulled me to the ground and was out of his mind. I managed to move around and escape him, got up, and ran out of the house to escape him,” she said in the documents.
The influencer says she fled their L.A. family home and claims the bassist chased after her while barely wearing anything.
“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,” she said in the filing.
Bowman cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for filing, but did not provide a date of separation.
She further alleges that out on the street, the musician “found (her) twice in different locations, physically abusing me each time.”
In the documents, Bowman says she found Madden’s behaviour unrecognizable and had never seen that side before that day.
Afterwards, the influencer said she stayed with a friend and Madden apologized in a text and letters and promised to go to rehab for his sex addiction.
She has since been granted temporary domestic violence restraining order against him but her request to have Madden move out of their home was denied.
A representative or direct contact for Madden could not be located at the time of publication in the Post.
Madden’s latest legal woes come five years after he left Maroon 5 following his arrest for an alleged domestic violence incident and on cocaine charges, the latter for which he accepted a conditional dismissal offer in exchange for one day of community service.
He had been the band’s bassist for 26 years at that point.
