Michelle Branch On The Tamron Hall Show Guests Today – Last month, Nashville police arrested Michelle Branch for misdemeanor domestic assault. Branch admitted that she had slapped Black Keys drummer Patrick Carney, her husband and collaborator, “one or two times.” Before her arrest, Branch tweeted that Carney had cheated on her with his manager, and she later deleted the tweet. That domestic assault charge was dismissed, and Branch quickly filed for divorce, but now TMZ reports that she has agreed to attempt reconciliation, remaining married and attending couples counseling for at least the next six months. Now, Branch is talking about her situation.
Michelle Branch On The Tamron Hall Show Guests Today – Talks Reconciliation With Black Keys’ Patrick Carney On Tamron Hall Show
Michelle Branch is in an uncomfortable public position right now. She’s promoting her new album The Trouble With Fever, which she and Carney recorded together over the course of the pandemic. That album comes out tomorrow. Apparently, though, Branch has decided to talk openly about her whole situation, which seems heartbreaking. (Branch and Carney have been married for a little more than three years, and they have two kids, the younger of whom is seven months old.) Today, Branch appears on the daytime talk show Tamron Hall, and she’s getting into it.
In an advance clip from the show, Branch says that she and Carney are in therapy and that she wishes they’d started six months earlier: “It’s made such a huge difference in such a short amount of time.” Talking about the night of the arrest, Branch says, “What went down was so unfortunate. It was, like, the worst night of my life. She admits that she slapped Carney and says that she doesn’t condone violence: “I didn’t have time to think about, really, what I was doing.”
Branch’s episode of Tamron Hall will air later today, and it’ll include a performance of a new song. Branch’s album The Trouble With Fever is out 9/16 on Audio Eagle/Nonesuch/Warner.

Michelle Branch On Allegations Of Domestic Assault & Current State of Relationship With Her Husband
Michelle Branch addressed those domestic assault allegations during a candid interview on the “Tamron Hall” show.
The singer, who is releasing her fourth studio LP The Trouble with Fever this week, married Patrick Carney in 2019. But, over the past month or so the pair have been hitting headlines after she accused him of cheating in a since-deleted tweet.
Branch also admitted to slapping the Black Keys drummer, with a domestic assault case since being dropped.
The musician told Hall this week that she and Carney have now started therapy and it’s apparently working wonders for their relationship.
“It’s made such a huge difference in a short amount of time,” Branch said, calling the night in question “the worst night of my life.”
As Hall questioned her on the domestic assault allegations, Branch insisted: “They are not allegations. Violence, I don’t condone violence. I slapped my husband. Not the finest moment of my life.”
Branch admitted there were several factors involved in the incident, including her giving birth seven months prior and having had “a few drinks” at a birthday party.
She told Hall, “All the blocks were stacked in a way I didn’t have time to think about, really, what I was doing. It was one of those things that I was like, ‘Is this really happening? Did this really just happen?’”
Branch added of Carney in an interview with Yahoo Entertainment, “I mean, he’s the father of my children. I love him very much. I think in a perfect world, we’ll figure out a way to make it work. I don’t know.
“It’s just still so fresh and so raw. But there’s a deep friendship at the basis of our relationship. So, hopefully that will still be there, regardless of what happens in our marriage.”

Michelle Branch Arrested For Domestic Assault Amid Split From Husband Patrick Carney
Michelle Branch has been arrested. On Thursday in Nashville, Tennessee, the 39-year-old singer was taken into custody for misdemeanor domestic assault by offensive/provocative conduct, ET confirms.
Branch is scheduled to appear in court on Nov. 7. ET has reached out to Branch’s rep for comment on the singer’s arrest.
Her arrest came the same day that news broke of her separation from Patrick Carney, her husband of three years.
“To say that I am totally devastated doesn’t even come close to describing how I feel for myself and for my family,” Branch told ET in a statement on Friday. “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.”
According to docs obtained by TMZ, police were called to Branch and Carney’s home at around 2 a.m. on Thursday for a possible domestic disturbance. Per the docs, Branch admitted to slapping Carney in the face “one or two times,” though the 42-year-old Black Keys musician did not have any visible injuries.
According to the outlet, Branch was taken into custody and had her bail set at $1,000, but was released early because she’s currently breastfeeding her and Carney’s 6-month-old daughter, Willie. The pair also shares a son, Rhys, who will turn four later this month. Additionally, Branch is mom to a 17-year-old daughter, Owen, from her first marriage to Teddy Landau.
Branch and Carney began dating in 2015 after meeting at a GRAMMY party in Los Angeles. The two got engaged in July 2017 and tied the knot at the Marigny Opera House in New Orleans in April 2019.
In a quickly deleted tweet posted on Wednesday, Branch accused Carney of cheating on her over the past several months while she stayed home to care for their infant daughter.
