As you’ve in all probability heard by now, we’re all making an attempt to unpack some extraordinarily unsavory accusations in opposition to Adam Levine. On Monday morning an Instagram mannequin named named Sumner Stroh despatched the web right into a frenzy with a TikTok video during which she claimed she had an affair with the Maroon 5 frontman for a few 12 months! The receipts — screenshots of alleged DMs from his official IG account — had most folk 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 should 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 title the infant they’re anticipating after her! Vile!

However there was additionally a fairly quick backlash in the direction of Sumner herself. In spite of everything, the mannequin was not at ALL contrite in the 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 together 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 together with her both. Naturally she bought 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 needed 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 have a look at it and assume like, ‘Oh she’s enjoying the sufferer.’”
Lady. Describing the explanations you aren’t accountable — like being “fully manipulated”? That’s what enjoying 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 certainly one of her buddies tried to promote the story to a tabloid — and she or he solely came upon “yesterday” when that outlet reached out to her for a remark. So as soon as once more, she wasn’t going public to provide Behati the heads up about her man or something noble like that. She admits:
“I solely got here ahead as a result of I needed to kill no matter story the tabloid had.”
In different phrases, she was nervous about another person telling HER story and somebody ELSE calling her a mistress — so she needed to inform it in her personal approach. 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:
“A very powerful 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 unfavourable press as a result of, as I stated, 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 all the things that he stated due to my susceptible place being new to LA.”
Effectively, we undoubtedly know a lot of males do deceive girls to make it appear to be what they’re doing is okay. That’s for positive. However we’re nonetheless not likely processing the “susceptible place being new to LA” factor. It’s not like earlier than she bought to city she was an unfrozen cavewoman Insta mannequin who didn’t perceive refined customs about infidelity. Sooner or later folks must take accountability and get separation affirmation from the estranged partner in query. If that’s too awkward, then don’t even trouble 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 absolutely over, that’s one thing we will sympathize with. Males undoubtedly pull s**t like that. However once more, except for 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 stated was a yearlong affair. Even when she was fooled for a full 12 months, if higher now, simply come clean with doing one thing improper. That’s all!
However as a substitute we’re seeing each traditional play within the e-book to keep up innocence, proper all the way down to switching from her normal 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)!
