Rolling Stones guitarist Ron Wood was arrested this morning on suspicion of assault. “I can confirm that there was an incident last night and that Ronnie Wood was arrested,” a spokesperson for Wood said in a statement to Rolling Stone. “He has since been released on police bail. We have no further statement to make at this time.” Rolling Stone also verified that the victim of the suspected assault was Wood’s 21-year-old girlfriend Ekaterina Ivanova.

“We can confirm that a 62-year-old man from Esher was arrested last night on suspicion of assault in connection with a domestic incident in Claygate High Street,” a Surrey Police spokesman told The London Evening Standard, who have an account of the alleged events leading up to the suspected assault. “He has this afternoon been released on bail until a date in January pending further inquiries.”

As Rolling Stone reported last month, Wood’s relationship with Ivanova (who is 41 years his junior) resulted in his divorce from his wife of 24 years, Jo. The settlement in the divorce reportedly cost the guitarist £6.5 million on the grounds of adultery.

2. Dating a 21 year old doesn't magically make you NOT 62 years old, dude.

So sad.

3. What a winner!

Not.

:eyes:

First he cheats on his wife of 24 years, gets smacked in that divorce and then literally smacks the girlfriend who helped him break up his first marriage.

Do some people ever learn?

4. Hear him whip the women just around midnight?

I would never excuse assault, mind you, but the joking part of me wants to point out that golddigging mining has never been a very safe occupation.

5. wow, I thought he lived in St George's

guess he's my neighbor in some way. :hide:

6. I'd love to hear their conversations for a day.

What the hell does a 62 yr old have in common with a 21 yr old....unless it's his daughter IMO not much.

7. Hmm...that age difference fails the mathematical...

equation for determining the youngest age a significant other can be.

The rule is: half your age, plus 7.

I'm only 30 (well, 31 this weekend), and using that rule a 21 year old is too young for even myself.

8. He was cheating on his wife with her..

they are pretty much fodder for UK tabloids..few weeks back - she threatens to commit suicide, and he throws her out - oh the drama
