Branch slapped her husband across his face for being unfaithful

According to the documents, the pair’s separation date is Thursday, the same day Branch announced their divorce. Meanwhile, it came just hours after she was arrested for allegedly slapping her unfaithful husband across the face at their Nashville home.

Right after the incident, the mother of two was in custody and booked for domestic assault around 2 am on August 11. She was however released on a $1,000 bond and is due in court on Nov.7.

At the time, Michelle released a statement that read:

“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 drama started when Branch tweeted, then deleted a note on Wednesday accusing the drummer of cheating on her while she was home taking care of their infant daughter.
