Catherine Blair Bowman accused her husband of physically abusing her after she confronted him for allegedly sexting a teenage girl.
Former Maroon 5 bassist Mickey Madden's wife, Catherine Blair Bowman, filed a restraining order against him. In new court documents filed on Wednesday, July 30, in Los Angeles County Superior Court, she stated that she was 'terrified" of him as he allegedly physically abused her after she confronted him for behaving inappropriately with minor girls.
As reported by People, the incident took place on July 21 after Catherine was tipped off by a teenage girl, who sent her a text saying that Mickey was sexting with her. 'I was extremely hurt and disturbed. I needed to understand what was going on between them," said his wife in her statement. She then went on to share details about the alleged assault incident.
After she received the text, Catherine asked Mickey to show her his phone, which he denied. When she asked him to hand over his phone, he began deleting the texts. 'I could see that he was quickly deleting the evidence from his phone," she said. His wife then grabbed his phone and quickly ran out of the house, which 'enraged" Mickey, and he also followed her.
Mickey Madden's Wife Said He 'Slammed' Her Body Against Kitchen Counter
As stated in the legal documents, the former Maroon 5 member used all his force to restrain his wife. 'He then slammed my body against the marble kitchen counter," she mentioned, adding that she was in pain and was 'terrified." Catherine further said, 'He shoved me to the ground and was out of his mind. I landed on my knees. He kept screaming for me to give him the phone. He appeared literally insane to me. I had never seen such uncontrollable anger and a completely different person."
The same court documents also described another incident of abuse, which happened on May 14. Catherine shared, 'He physically abused me. Extreme emotional harm. I'm now terrified of him."
Mickey Madden Allegedly Hired An 18-Year-Old Prostitute
The screenshots that were submitted in the court showed that the 46-year-old bassist called his sexting 'A private and fake harmless fantasy" that had 'No bearing on real life at all." In another message, Catherine accused him of hiring prostitutes, saying, 'I do not know the man who hires 18-year-old prostitutes to text them about wanting to be their stepdad and rape them while we are on our honeymoon." Mickey replied to her text, apologising for his actions and acknowledging that they were wrong, but he also claimed that those were just 'consensual fantasy talk."
In the court documents, Catherine also alleged that Mickey refused to get intimate with her after she expressed her desire to have kids with him. Instead, he began sleeping with prostitutes.
A judge has now granted Catherine a temporary restraining order, which also includes their two Siberian huskies. The order is effective till August 20. Madden, who left Maroon 5 in 2020, is currently in a rehabilitation facility.

Can Lindsay Lohan play guitar and sing? What we know about her musical talent
Lindsay Lohan is returning to the role that made her a 2000s teen icon - and she's bringing her guitar with her. In the upcoming Freaky Friday sequel, titled Freakier Friday, Lohan reprises her role as Anna Coleman, the rebellious teen-turned-mom who originally fronted the fictional rock band Pink Slip. The sequel, due in theaters on August 8, features a full-on band reunion, and yes, Lohan performs a new, more 'complicated' guitar solo. Lindsay Lohan as Anna Coleman performing with the fictional band "Pink Slip" in the final scene of the original 2003 film.(X/@yyungtaco) Speaking on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the 38-year-old actress said, 'I was excited because I started my lessons again, because I haven't played in a long time... It was really fun.' She added that it was 'nice' to return to singing and performing in a film, something she hadn't done 'since I was young.' 'It's not me singing - it's Anna' Lohan's musical comeback isn't without its challenges. In her ELLE Summer 2025 cover interview with Saturday Night Live's Chloe Fineman, she admitted it was 'kind of nerve-racking' to sing again - not because of her vocal skills, but because she wasn't doing it as herself. 'When I was doing [the original Freaky Friday], I was also recording an album, so it was part of my life at the time,' said Lohan, who released her debut studio album Speak in 2004. 'In this movie, I was singing it as [my character] Anna, whereas before felt more like Lindsay singing.' She also acknowledged the emotional weight of reprising the music: 'Just seeing the reaction that people had to [Pink Slip] was so heartwarming. Like I almost wanted to cry because I didn't realize how big it really became.' Pink Slip is back - and so is the music! The sequel includes new songs performed by the band, and according to both Lohan and co-star Jamie Lee Curtis, one of them might just be 'the song of the summer.' In a 2024 interview with People, Curtis confirmed, 'Pink Slip is back, let's put it that way.' Original bandmates Christina Vidal and Haley Hudson are returning as well. Lohan said the performance scenes even drew live cheers on set. 'When we were [filming the songs], audience members were like, 'Encore!' And we were like, 'We only have one song, we didn't think this through!'' The film, she added, has 'more music' than the original - and at least one track 'tugs on your heartstrings.' A still from Freaky Friday (2003) showcasing Anna Coleman's band, "Pink Slip".(X/@kayisnotokay_) So... can she really play and sing? The short answer: yes. Lohan has showcased her musical abilities in multiple films and real-life performances over the years. Besides her work in Freaky Friday, she sang in Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen, Mean Girls, and A Prairie Home Companion. She's also released two studio albums, Speak and A Little More Personal (Raw), proving that music has always been part of her artistic identity - even if it occasionally takes a back seat to acting. With guitar lessons restarted and a new rock performance on the horizon, Lindsay Lohan is ready to remind audiences that she's not just Anna Coleman or a nostalgic Disney star - she's a performer in her own right, and she's got the chops to prove it.
