- An influencer accused Adam Levine of having an affair with her and sending her flirtatious DMs.
- Levine denied the affair but said he used "poor judgment" in speaking in a "flirtatious manner."
It's a bad week to be Adam Levine.
The longtime singer of Maroon 5 is in the hot seat after a 23-year-old influencer Sumner Stroh accused him of having a year-long affair with her while married to his wife, Victoria's Secret model Behati Prinsloo.
In response to Stroh's initial TikTok video, which revealed screenshots between the two, Levine released a statement denying an affair, but acknowledging that he "crossed a line."
"I used poor judgment in speaking with anyone other than my wife in ANY kind of flirtatious manner."
In the days following Stroh's revelatory TikToks, at least two other women have come forward to say they'd also received flirtatious messages from "The Voice" judge.
More screenshots of Levine's sometimes aggressive (alleged) flirting appeared in the ether.
And then came the memes.
Some memes have been mocking his cringe-y texts:
