You can see the pain in her eyes. She's in a one-sided relationship with a guy that can't even join her to stand up for their marriage WITH her. Carney is a loser. Michelle is so talented and beautiful, and I've been a fan forever! This guy is RUINING HER, and I hope she sees the light soon! I know it's not always easy; I, too, was a victim of very similar abuse myself whilst caring for a new baby as a nursing mother, postpartum. I know it's difficult, but I know she'll come to her senses soon....it takes time to finally have had enough, but I know it'll happen. She and her babies deserve BETTER. We love you, Michelle.❤️

@coreyellison I hope that you're willing to give men the same saving grace and forgiveness as you would Michelle Branch. Probably not, though. If her husband was going through a mental breakdown and hit her in the face, I doubt you would be saying the same thing. Only in liberal clown world.

He cheated on her with her their manager. So it's safe to say it wasn't a one time thing! Michelle stay away from this cheater! You're a strong woman with the ability and finance's to take care and raise those kids yourself! Always remember..once a cheater, always a cheater! You're giving him a free pass to do it again!

[@soterolopez7962]

At least we know where she’s been hiding these past years. With all due respect, if Patrick hadn’t called the police she wouldn’t be on Washington Post almost starting a free Michelle movement from fans. Was his life really in danger to call the police? The only reason they arrested her is because well she is Michelle Branch regardless of popularity therefore it will be a story to tell. May her kids not be the reason she stay with him if anything they would not only want her to be happy but most importantly HONEST with herself. She is a star in my eyes therefore she must not let anyone make her feel guilty for choosing a break to heal & think. To look within oneself beyond human flesh, electricity, and energy ending in spirituality may not be a fast process but it’s definitely not a hard process. 🌌 This situation she got going on right here with this crazy fire sign ♈️ is a distraction from working on new music… 🎸🤘💜

She does. I can't imagine going through that let alone publicly. No idea what her husbands like and good for them they want to work it out. If I were in her position though I don't know if I'd be able to forgive him for having to now deal with so much scrutiny. Plus she's a fox. Him, not so much but I don't know these people, obviously. If she loses her temper often and is a violent person I don't blame him for calling the cops though if that is the case he could have left her as well like people saying about her. Just leave if he's cheating because the world always works like that when you're freakin married with kids.

Since when has slapping someone an arrestable offence? Women have been slapping men since the beginning of time and it is displayed in movies and tv constantly. Even the show Cheers made light of it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/anq6fYWip5iKaLs Losing your cool is not something anyone is proud of, but emotions sometimes take over.

all the comments are ok with domestic abuse if the female is the attacker. he deserved it. but if the guy punches her for cheating on him then it's a problem. not defending the husband just saying it's bs with the double standard.

The reports are she slapped him. I wouldn't take issue if he was cheating an he slapped her for it either and I consider myself a feminist. Lol people are damn sensitive and I suppose have always had perfect relationships where no one lost a temper and reacted poorly. Imo the fact he called the pigs on the mother of his children says more about him in the situation than her. Unless it's a constant thing and he's fed up and wanted to teach her a lesson that's pretty lame.

[@nathueil1]

Exactly my dude!

[@cassondralynch6342]

Oh please. She slapped a man way bigger than her because she was drunk and there's rumors at least he was cheating on her with their manager. The biggest bs here imo is him calling the cops unless she has a history of violence or something it feels quite dramatic, unnecessary, spiteful and in this country potentially dangerous dealing with law enforcement. Double standards exist for a reason. Someone calling someone the n word is different than saying cracker though both racist. Do you understand? All said if my bf slapped me because I was cheating or just got way tf out of pocket or something I wouldn't claim trauma and abuse and freak out. If it wasn't unusual, different story. Sometimes shit happens in relationships.

[@nathueil1]

@@cassondralynch6342 You say that till you get popped in dah mouf.👋

[@TheREALDesignYourLife]

@@cassondralynch6342 even more reason for her to keep her hands to herself. You don’t see men going around slapping or punching men who are much stronger than them. Or just in general, because we know there are potential violent consequences. That would be the equivalent of me walking up to LeBron James slapping him and expecting nothing in return just because he’s stronger and larger than me. which is quite delusional. If I don’t want to get slapped or punch by someone who’s larger, therefore, it would be smart of me to keep my hands to myself, regardless of the situation, because that larger stronger person can beat your ass. Good on her husband for not lowering himself and resorting to her level of physical violence. If he cheated leave! That didn’t give her the right or anyone the right to touch you with violence! Also, that’s why she was arrested because the law does not allow ANYONE to slap or punch them because they believe they were cheating on. Laws need to be applied EQUALLY OR NOT AT ALL.

[@cassondralynch6342]

​@@TheREALDesignYourLife Life is not black and white. I don't believe in spanking but if my sister lost her temper and spanked her kid too hard or something in front of me I wouldn't involve CPS unless it was a pattern. She clearly didn't want to just leave her husband and father or her children because she loves him hence them trying to work things out despite the fact their shit is now on blast which is probably mortifying to say the least. If she has a pattern of losing her temper he could've left as well. I've slapped my partner before and he slapped me back rather than calling the cops which I'm glad about. I think these things should be considered on a case by case basis. If two dudes are at a bar and have a fight I'd hope people would try to break it up first before involving the law. If she truly did slap him as opposed to decking him in the face I think your take is a bit dramatic. Most men would just shove their ass down or whatever which imo would've been the better approach. Again, unless it's a pattern with her. Just my opinion though which we're all entitled.

Not surprised to see women defending this female abuser in the comments. I guess only women are ever allowed to be victims of domestic abuse. If this was a man who admitted to hitting his wife, would you all be reacting in the same way? Talking about how "brave" it was for him to admit it? Cheating on your spouse is not illegal. Assaulting someone is. Smh

[@cassondralynch6342]

John, you sound whiny tbh. I know radical feminism has gotten out of hand and so there's backlash from men here. But is a girl slapping a cheating dude the end of the f'ng world? I consider myself a feminist and if he slapped her because she was cheating or just being a massive c on a regular basis and super verbally abusive or whatever I would totally give him a pass if he did the same thing and I consider myself a feminist. Relationships can be messy. These aren't black and white situations imo. Just because something is legal or illegal it doesn't determine what's more hurtful. That's a weird comment. It's way more f'd up to have an affair than it is to slap your partner. Male or female.

[@456012]

@@cassondralynch6342 you’re the first woman I’ve ever heard who would condone a man slapping a woman you’re in the extreme minority on that one. The other problem with what your saying is, where do you draw the line between just “a slap or two” and domestic abuse? Is it determined by the amount of times you hit someone? How hard? The fact that he felt the need to call the cops on her signifies that it was probably more severe than “one or two slaps” as she put it. She also admitted to having had a few drinks, so she was probably wasted making her actions even more toxic. There’s literally zero chance our society would be in any way sympathetic to a drunk dude hitting his wife multiple times, even if she cheated. In fact he probably cheated on her in the first place because she’s an abusive asshole.

[@cassondralynch6342]

@@456012 It's totally possible. We can all speculate, right. But at the end of the day we weren't there for the incident and obviously don't know them. I personally think these situations should be case by case. Maybe a lot of women would have a meltdown if their partner slapped them or if one of girlfriends were slapped by their man if they caught them cheating but I'd personally be like, yeah, kinda deserved that one lol. You know if a person is abusive or if they just lost their temper. Come on. There really is a difference. Especially in super long term relationships and as a 40 yr old (still pretty young) I've been in three pretty long ones and in two of the three been pushed around to some extent a couple of times but I'm not a wallflower. I'm a mouthy, feisty bitch. A loving one who isn't abusive but it is what it is. Pc or not. I've mostly been treated like a queen for the duration of all of my relationships. And again, we're talking slapping or pushing not socking in the face. If a person cheats once because they're miserable, drunk and meet a hot seductress but never do it again should they be deemed a cheater forever? I don't think so.

She is entitled and toxic and he needs to run away as fast as possible.
