Adam Levine, the lead singer of Maroon 5, has found himself at the center of a social media storm after his alleged flirtatious Instagram direct messages (DMs) went viral.
Numerous users have been reposting screenshots of DMs reportedly sent by the 43-year-old singer to various women, causing quite a stir.

The controversy began when Instagram model Sumner Stroh shared a TikTok video claiming that she had an affair with Levine for approximately a year.
Stroh also provided screenshots of explicit messages she purportedly received from him, including one that read, “It is truly unreal how f— hot you are.”

He admitted to crossing a line but vehemently denied having an affair.
In his message, posted on September 20, Levine expressed remorse for engaging in any flirtatious conversations outside of his marriage: “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.”
He further emphasized his dedication to his family: “My wife and my family is all I care about in this world.

Levine and Prinsloo have been married since 2014 and share two children.
