Michelle Branch in hot water for assault

The Davidson County Sheriff's Office confirmed to the media outlet that Branch, 39, was taken into custody and booked for domestic assault around 2 a.m. Thursday after reportedly slapping Carney, 42, across the face at the couple's Nashville home.

The singer-songwriter had Tweeted and deleted a note two hours earlier claiming the Black Keys drummer had cheated on her while she was home with their 6-month-old baby.

Branch was released on a $1,000 bond and is due in court on Nov. 7.

Branch and Carney married in 2019. Branch said in a statement to TMZ while announcing the split: “To say that I am totally devastated doesn’t even come close to describing how I feel for myself and for my family. The rug has been completely pulled from underneath me and now I must figure out how to move forward. With such small children, I ask for privacy and kindness.”

The two musicians have two children together and lived in Nashville.
