‘Does he even write his own songs?’ — The best internet take-downs of Adam Levine’s alleged ‘sexts’

LAS VEGAS, NV - SEPTEMBER 21: Adam Levine of Maroon 5 performs onstage during the iHeartRadio Music Festival at the MGM Grand Garden Arena on September 21, 2013 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

In the latest instalment of the Adam-Levine-versus-his-own-horniness saga, the singer has been hit by yet more accusations of sending sexy texts to women who definitely aren’t his wife.

As of Wednesday, three women have now come forward with receipts appearing to show the She Will Be Loved singer hitting on them via Facebook Messenger and Instagram DM.

It all started with Sumner Stroh, who was the first to claim that she’d had an “affair” with Levine, showing supposed screenshots of flirty messages between them as proof.

The screenshots even seem to show Levine asking if he could name his baby after Stroh, saying: “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.”

His wife, former Victoria Secret model Behati Prinsloo, is currently pregnant with this child.

It didn’t stop there. Since then, another Instagram model, Maryka, has promptly come forward, and now a third woman, Alyson Rosef.

Rosef has since removed her TikTok about the matter, but the apparent texts between Stroh, Maryka and Levine are still available — and boy are they bad. Like, monkey covering eyes emoji bad.

The fact that the texts are available is all thanks to Maryka, who leaked them to celebrity gossip whistleblower Dana Omari, @igfamousbydana, who in turn shared the screenshots with her followers.

In the screenshots, Levine appears to receive pictures from Maryka, to which he responds: “Holy f***. Holy f***ing f***. That body of yours is absurd.”

He continues: “How are you such an hourglass?” And, in a now widely-mocked message, “I may need to see the booty. F**kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk.”

The internet has, inevitably, exploded. “Adam Levine texts like his favorite band is Maroon 5,” wrote one Twitter user, with another adding: “Adam Levine texts like he just learned now to swear.”

Others have compared the “I may need to see the booty” texts with greedy pirates, or Sideshow Bob from The Simpsons. Even the singer’s own lyrics have come back to haunt him, with people claiming the texts mean he cannot have written his own songs.

Levine appears to have responded to the cheating allegations from Stroh earlier in the week by posting a statement to his Instagram story. The statement read: “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 of my life.”

He continued: “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. 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.”

Levine has yet to respond to the latest allegations, though perhaps that’s because literally no person with even an ounce of dignity would consider putting their name to those pathetic attempts at sexts. What’s that they say? Karma’s a...?
