As you’ve most likely heard by now, we’re all making an attempt to unpack some extraordinarily unsavory accusations towards Adam Levine. On Monday morning an Instagram mannequin named named Sumner Stroh despatched the web right into a frenzy with a TikTok video through which she claimed she had an affair with the Maroon 5 frontman for a couple of 12 months! The receipts — screenshots of alleged DMs from his official IG account — had most people believing the allegations instantly.
So with so many individuals shopping for the story, the query in everybody’s minds moved proper from whether or not it occurred to how we must always react to it.
Clearly there was loads of disgust aimed on the Voice coach. If that is true, he not solely cheated on Behati Prinsloo — he even informed his mistress he was going to attempt to identify the child they’re anticipating after her! Vile!

However there was additionally a fairly quick backlash in direction of Sumner herself. In spite of everything, the mannequin was not at ALL contrite in direction of Behati in her video. In her story, she was a sufferer who was “exploited” and “manipulated” as a result of she was so “younger” on the time of the alleged affair — which, if we’re doing our math proper would have began lower than two years in the past, when she was round 21. Now, Adam Levine would have been in his early 40s, so yeah, it’s a not-great age hole, however the difficulty lots of people are taking is how she didn’t even point out feeling regret about contributing to a pregnant lady’s ache by sleeping along with her husband.
Look, clearly he’s the alleged cheater right here and as such ought to get the brunt of the unhealthy emotions. However Stroh didn’t make it straightforward to sympathize along with her both. Naturally she obtained a LOT of criticism on-line. And now she’s wanting to reply to it with ANOTHER TikTok video.
On why she wasn’t apologetic, she says:
“I initially wished to go in and discuss how remorseful I really feel and the way embarrassed and disgusted I’m with myself, however I didn’t need folks to take a look at it and assume like, ‘Oh she’s taking part in the sufferer.’”
Lady. Describing the explanations you aren’t responsible — like being “utterly manipulated”? That’s what taking part in the sufferer is.

Subsequent, she clarifies why she went public within the first place, one thing she touched on in her first video. She says considered one of her associates tried to promote the story to a tabloid — and she or he solely discovered “yesterday” when that outlet reached out to her for a remark. So as soon as once more, she wasn’t going public to offer Behati the heads up about her man or something noble like that. She admits:
“I solely got here ahead as a result of I wished to kill no matter story the tabloid had.”
In different phrases, she was anxious about another person telling HER story and somebody ELSE calling her a mistress — so she wished to inform it in her personal means. Which, after all, she did.
Getting even farther from regret, Sumner additionally implies within the new video that Adam Levine made her assume he and Behati had been separating:
“An important half that I undoubtedly did gloss over was the truth that I used to be below the impression that their marriage was over. I believed that they had been preserving it quiet to keep away from the unfavorable press as a result of, as I mentioned, I used to be new to LA.”
Sorry, she was… new on the town? Huh? What does that must do with something? Relationship morals are fairly common, no? She explains:
“I simply assumed with celebrities of that caliber that that’s simply the way it was. That’s why I really feel exploited. As a result of he knew that I believed every little thing that he mentioned due to my weak place being new to LA.”
Properly, we undoubtedly know plenty of males do deceive girls to make it look like what they’re doing is okay. That’s for certain. However we’re nonetheless not likely processing the “weak place being new to LA” factor. It’s not like earlier than she obtained to city she was an unfrozen cavewoman Insta mannequin who didn’t perceive subtle customs about infidelity. In some unspecified time in the future folks must take accountability and get separation affirmation from the estranged partner in query. If that’s too awkward, then don’t even hassle and transfer on to another person who’s 100% single.
She then says his messaging her from his actual, verified Instagram account was “a manipulation tactic” — saying he was “hiding in plain sight.” Huh??
Look, if she actually was lied to and believed Adam and Behati had been totally over, that’s one thing we will sympathize with. Males undoubtedly pull s**t like that. However once more, apart from that first line about feeling disgusted with herself, we’re nonetheless not seeing full accountability right here. She’s deflecting the blame at each single flip, not taking accountability for any of her half in what she’s mentioned was a yearlong affair. Even when she was fooled for a full 12 months, if you already know higher now, simply come clean with doing one thing unsuitable. That’s all!
However as an alternative we’re seeing each traditional play within the ebook to take care of innocence, proper all the way down to switching from her typical TikTok outfits to a conservative polo shirt and a cross round her neck.
Ch-ch-check out the video and determine for your self (beneath)!
