Oh god I know you’ve been waiting for this day to come,” while one top comment from a fan read: “Hahahaha I cannot imagine your DMs rn. Bless u.”
Levine, the lead singer of Maroon 5, was accused of cheating on his wife, Victoria’s Secret model Behati Prinsloo with model Sumner Stroh. Stroh posted a video on TikTok where she claimed that she had had an affair with Levine. This came after other women had shared screenshots of direct message conversations with Levine.
In an Instagram Story post this week, Levine denied Stroh’s allegations but he seemed to confirm that at least some of the screenshots were authentic. He wrote: “A lot of being said about me right now and I want to clear the air. I used poor judgment in speaking with anyone other than my wife in ANY kind of flirtatious manner. I did not have an affair, nevertheless, I crossed the line during a regrettable period in my life. In certain instances it became inappropriate; I have addressed that and taken proactive steps to remedy this with my family.”
“My wife and my family is all I care about in this world,” Levine continued. “To be this naive and stupid enough to risk the only thing that truly matters to me was the greatest mistake I could ever make. I will never make it again. I take full responsibility. We will get through it. And we will get through it together.”
