Four days after Behanti announced her pregnancy on Instagram, a model named Sumner Stroh posted a TikTok alleging an affair with Adam Levine. In the video she states  ”I was having an affair with a man who’s married to a Victoria secret model,” later revealing that the man to be Adam Levine. She revealed that they were ”seeing each other for about a year’’ and showed DMs between them. In one of the screenshots, it is shown that he asked if could name his unborn children after her. She ended the video by saying that she decided to come forward after learning that screenshots with Adam had a chance of being leaked.

More accusations

The day after Sumner posted her TikTok, three other women came forward with accusations of their own against Adam. A comedian named Maryka posted screenshots of very flirty DM’s between herself and Adam on her Instagram story. In since-deleted TikToks of conversations she had with Adam, she stated that she deleted them because the texts were inappropriate and she ”didn’t feel comfortable posting them.” Lastly, yoga instructor Alanna Zabel spoke out on her Instagram Stories to talk about an incident between her and Adam in 2010. Adam allegedly sent her a text saying ”I want to spend the day with you naked.”

The Aftermath

On September 20, Adam released a statement via Instagram denying the affair but admitting to using poor judgment. He states that he has never had an affair, but has talked to other women while being married. The same day that Adam shares his statement, he and Behanti were seen in photos smiling posted by the Daily Mail while picking up their daughters from school. It is rumored that even though Behanti is very upset by the allegations, she has intentions of sticking it out. Since the rumors have come out, Behanti and Adam have been seen together three times, which supports the theory that there is no plan for them to separate anytime soon.
