The Maroon 5 star Adam Levine is married to Victoria’s Secret model Behati Prinsloo, 34, who is currently pregnant with their third child. The pair, who already have two kids, Dusty, 4, and Gio, 5, have been married since 2014. Despite that, Levine’s alleged leaked private messages have made headlines in the past days, showing the singer flirting with multiple young women on social media.

One of them, model Sumner Stroh, took it to her TikTok channel to make the accusations against the musician. To many's surprise, Stroh announced: “Essentially, I was having an affair with a man who is married to a Victoria’s Secret supermodel,” before naming Levine.

Having said that, Stroh agreed that “at the time, I was young and naïve.” However, she added that “quite frankly, [she feels] exploited.” Stroh continued: “I wasn’t in the scene like I am now, so I was definitely very easily manipulated’.”

The model then shared multiple screenshots from her spicy chats with the singer. Many of the DMs have instantly gone viral as people showered social media with memes about Levine’s sexting.

Stroh said that she stopped talking to him for a period of a few months. However, at some point, Levine reached back out via DM and allegedly asked her: “Ok serious question. I’m having another baby and if it’s [a] boy I really wanna name it Sumner. You ok with that? DEAD serious.” This particular message caused a huge stir on social media with many people questioning Levine’s family values and accusing him of crossing the line.

Stroh shared her now-viral video that has amassed a whopping 23.7M views with a telling caption: “Embarrassed I was involved w a man with this utter lack of remorse and respect.”

Following the handful of women who came forward to accuse the singer of sexting them, Alanna Zabel, Levine’s personal yoga instructor from 2007 to 2010, joined the series of accusations. “This isn't about a love affair or a salacious text, it's about being a decent human being. Friends don't treat each other like used trash, and that's how he treated me,” Zabel told the press.

Zabel said that she too received multiple inappropriate offers and comments of sexual nature from the singer. “It's simple. Don't be a jerk,” the woman said. “Don't treat women like they are disposable, or that their value is solely based on their looks, and for God's sake please be a role model for your young girls. Children learn by what they see far more than what they're told.”

To find out more about sexting and what Levine’s affair scandal shows about our society, Bored Panda reached out to Vaida Baranove, Vilnius-based actress, singer, and celebrity connoisseur who happily shared some thoughts with our readers.

Vaida explained that the term sexting refers to “sending someone explicit texts that aim at flirtation at best, and sexual arousal/digital intercourse at worst.”

When asked why Levine’s alleged leaked DMs created such a stir on social media, Vaida said it’s “because at this point in time (and always, really, it’s just louder now) people are completely over powerful older men trying to hook up with younger girls.”

Levine’s alleged message turned into memes overnight. Vaida argues that it’s because memes help us comprehend and somehow lighten tough stuff that’s going on in the world. “Memes give tragic events an ironic or sarcastic angle and make them easier to digest,” she said.

“They also make distant things relatable since, while Levine’s alleged infidelity happened somewhere in Hollywood, the concept of infidelity itself hits close to home to many,” Vaida added.

According to Vaida, every family is different, no matter its status. “The difference is that A-list family issues are all over social media while private people’s issues remain within their home,” she explained.

If there’s any lesson to be learned from Levine’s affair saga, Vaida thinks it may be that everything we consider private may very well become public in a blink of an eye.

“Whether the cheating actually happened or not, doesn’t really matter in the world of social media, since, thanks to all these memes, Levine will be considered a cheater on the internet from now on,” she told Bored Panda and added: “At least for a while, until there’s a new scandal for everyone to focus on. And those come around quite often.”
