Twitter has gone into meltdown at Adam Levine’s ‘cringe’ sexts after multiple women shared flirty messages allegedly sent to them by the Maroon 5 frontman.
In recent days a total of five women have come forward to claim the married singer sent them sexually explicit DMs on social media while he awaits the birth of his third child with model wife Behati Prinsloo.
Yet while many Twitter users expressed sympathy for the rock star’s pregnant wife as the couple navigate the scandal, they couldn’t help but poke fun at the ‘leaked’ messages sent by the singer, in which he used phrases such as ‘I may need to see the booty’ and offering to buy one woman’s ‘a**’ ‘a steak dinner and whisper sweet nothings into it.’
One phrase that caught the eye of several users was ‘It is unreal how f***ing hot you are. Like it blows my mind’, with tweeters suggesting this is what climate change activist Greta Thunburg would say to the earth’s core or what Goldilocks would remark to her porridge.

Even professional accounts couldn’t resist getting in on the action, with NFL team Buffalo Bills sharing the sext ”It is unreal how f***ing hot you are’ and quipping ‘watching Josh Allen play football’ in reference to one of their players.
Despite the insatiable public interest and the growing raft of women coming forward, neither Levine nor his pregnant wife looked bothered as they were spotted strolling around Montecito, California with their daughter on Wednesday.
The pictures were taken just hours before an Alabama college student became the fifth woman to speak out on Levine’s wandering eyes, claiming the Maroon 5 frontman randomly stumbled upon her social media earlier this year and began chatting her up.
Ashley Russell, 21, who runs a health and exercise Instagram account with just over 4,100 followers, said the singer suddenly began viewing her Instagram stories in March this year, before liking her posts and sending her direct messages.
Going down in history: Fans tweeted: ‘i think we can all agree that “i may need to see the booty” is something we should carry with us from this adam levine scandal, it is truly a gift and we need to incorporate it into the lexicon’
The fitness fanatic, a senior at Auburn University, told DailyMail.com the 43-year-old started replying to photos of her working out, particularly those showing off her toned legs and glutes, but would almost immediately delete his messages after she had read them.
She said the friendly exchanges took place almost daily but ultimately ran dry when she warned the father-of-two that he was going to get caught flirting with women online.
Screenshots shared with DailyMail.com show Levine’s verified account handle among the list of Russell’s story viewers, as well as a series of flirty messages allegedly sent by the pop-rock star.
One fan remarked: ‘Adam Levine, I’ve had bots that can sext better than you’ as the sexts were ridiculed
In a direct message on March 13, Levine appears to banter with the young woman over her fitness routine saying: ‘Leg day. The most important and the easiest to skip [laughing emoji].’
Later in the conversation he asks: ‘You’re in college right?’, although the context is unclear. He then sent another message a minute later saying: ‘Nice work on legs. #commitment.’
Russell, who described herself as a ‘random girl in college’ compared to the Hollywood star, admitted that she thought it was ‘weird’ that Levine would strike up a conversation with her, but said she felt compelled to continue chatting to see how far he would go.
She said Levine allegedly told her he came across her account on his Instagram Explore page – a content feed on the app that’s personalized to each user – which she also found strange.

‘[He would message] almost everyday at night around 10pm my time. I would check every time I posted a story, which was every day, and it was always viewed by him,’ Russell said.
‘He would like mainly like booty stories and would always reply with something to do with leg or booty day at the gym.’
‘He said he found me from his Discover Page on Instagram because he is ‘big into fitness’ and I have a fitness account. I knew it was weird so I wanted to keep it going to see if it got worse. When I told him he was going to get caught DMing girls like me he stopped texting me.’
Fifth accuser: Ashley Russell, 21, who runs a health and exercise Instagram account, told DailyMail.com how Levine suddenly began messaging her after he allegedly came across her profile randomly in March
Russell, who was 20 at the time, said Levine never messaged her again after that, but continued to look at her story posts.
‘I think this is the true meaning of disrespect towards a woman. It makes me very sad that he is married and does this immature thing,’ she said.
Russell added that she found it particularly strange that he said he spotted her on Instagram Explore feed, ‘considering his age and [that] he’s married.’
‘I wonder what his [feed] looks like… all young women? Very odd to me,’ she said.
Messages: Russell said Levine started replying to her Instagram stories, particularly those showing off her toned legs and glutes. In one exchange from March 13, the singer appears to banter with her over her fitness routine
Daily: During the same conversation, the Maroon 5 frontman asks Russell if she’s in college. Russell said the flirty exchanges took place almost every night for a couple of weeks in March
Removed: Russell said Levine would almost immediately delete his messages after she had read them, likely to prevent her from taking screenshots
Russell now joins the four women who have publicly come forward with claims that Levine sent flirtatious and sometimes inappropriate messages, despite being married to supermodel wife Behati Prinsloo since 2014.
On Tuesday evening Levine’s former yoga teacher has accused him of sending a dirty text to her – as she became the fourth woman to come forward with explosive claims against the Maroon 5 singer.
Alanna Zabel, who trained the pop star from 2007 to 2010, alleges he said he wanted ‘to spend the day with you naked’ and bragged to his friends about how she had ‘the best a** in town and it was cute’.
She told how her then boyfriend saw the message, claimed he became violent and flew into a jealous rage and snapped her wrist.
The yogi accused Levine of abandoning her when she told him what happened and said he took her off his upcoming tour.
Claims: On Tuesday evening Levine’s former yoga teacher Alanna Zabel accused him of sending a dirty text to her – as she became the fourth woman to come forward with explosive claims against the Maroon 5 singer
Shocking: Alanna, who trained the pop star from 2007 to 2010, alleges he said he wanted ‘to spend the day with you naked’ and bragged to his friends about how she had ‘the best a** in town and it was cute’
She wrote on Instagram: ‘Long overdue #ExposeAdamLevine. I was his yoga teacher for a few years from 2007-10. He often said that he told his friends his yoga teacher had the best a** in town and it was cute.
‘One day he texted me saying: ‘I want to spend the day with you naked. I was in the bath but my jealous ex saw it and went into a rage.’
Zabel said she told her ex the text was evidently intended for Levine’s then-girlfriend Becky – believed to be Rebecca Ginos, a cocktail waitress he dated from 2006-9. She asked Levine, and he did not reply.
‘My ex became violent, breaking my wrist,’ Zabel said. ‘Massive life changing, destructive moment, and when I told Adam he ignored it, never apologized.’
She said he then ‘removed me from the upcoming tour and iced me out during one of the most devastating times of my life.’ Levine’s representatives are yet to respond to DailyMail.com’s request for comment.
Levine took up yoga after being advised of its health benefits. He told Women’s Health magazine in June 2008: ‘Yoga will drastically improve you in every way imaginable.
‘But let’s face it, I only practice yoga because the classes are always packed with beautiful women.’

Zabel’s allegations follow those made by two women claiming inappropriate messages, and one other alleging an affair.
Comedian Maryka and a woman named Alyson Rose posted screenshots of their alleged Instagram conversations with Levine, shortly after LA-based model Sumner Stroh revealed she had a secret relationship with the singer last year.
Although the context of the messages are unclear, some of the exchanges appear to have timestamps from July this year, when Levine would have marked his eighth wedding anniversary with his wife.
In a series of Instagram stories captioned, ‘#ExposeAdamLevine,’ on Tuesday, Maryka shared messages that showed Levine allegedly encouraging flirty and raunchy banter with a woman, sending her a private video selfie, and complimenting her voluptuous figure.
Oh my: In one undated, alleged exchange with Maryka, the musician tells her to ‘Distract yourself by f**king with me
Racy: Their conversations also appeared to have turned X-rated, according to additional screenshots shared with influencer Dana Omari (pictured) who posted them on her account on Maryka’s behalf
In one exchange, the musician tells her to ‘Distract yourself by f**king with me.’
Later, he sends her a brief video of himself saying: ‘I’m stupid.’
In one alleged conversation, he messaged: ‘I’m now obsessed with you’. When Maryka replies: ‘Dude aren’t you like married lol’, Levine admits he is but says ‘it’s a bit complicated.’
He then makes a tongue-in-cheek remark: ‘Stuff gets hard and the vid thing didn’t help. I might get away’.
Another screenshot shows Levine firing off a series of messages leching over the woman’s ‘hourglass figure’, saying: ‘Holy f**king f**k. That body of yours is absurd.’
Oops: In a now viral TikTok video, Alyson Rose also shared screengrabs of Levine’s alleged messages to her, including one in which he said: ‘I shouldn’t be talking to you you know [that] right?’
At one point after receiving a private photo from Maryka that cannot be seen in the screengrabs, he encourages her to send more, saying: ‘I may need to see the booty.’
Levine continues lusting over the woman’s ample assets in another screenshot. ‘W2779289’ he wrote, although it is unclear what he is referring to.
He then adds: ‘I’d do anything for it.’ ‘I’d buy it a steak dinner and whisper sweet nothings into it. ‘I wanna tattoo my a** now.’
In a message exchange dated June 27, Levine once again bizarrely references his wife’s pregnancy while revealing what he wants to name the baby boy – which he had previously done during a conversation with Sumner Stroh.
‘I’m having another baby. Wifey pregnant! And I’m having a BOY. And naming him Zea. He will be a bad a**,’ he said, according to the screenshot.
Apology: In a statement posted on his Instagram account, the lead singer of Maroon 5 said he had used ‘poor judgment’ and had been ‘inappropriate’ by speaking to another woman in an flirtatious manner
Scathing comeback: Stroh responded to Levine’s statement, simply writing ‘Someone get this man a dictionary.’
In a now deleted TikTok video, Alyson Rose also shared screengrabs of Levine’s alleged messages to her, including one in which he said: ‘I shouldn’t be talking to you you know [that] right?’
Rose claimed there was ‘a lot more that was said that was not appropriate. I just didn’t feel comfortable posting everything.’
Earlier, Instagram influencer Sumner Stroh hit back at Levine after he denied they had an affair and appeared to downplay their relationship as merely ‘flirtatious’.
The 23-year-old model took to Instagram to pour scorn on the Maroon 5 frontman’s comments on Tuesday, sharing a brief but withering post reading: ‘Someone get this man a dictionary.’
The message presumably refers to Levine’s earlier statement, in which he admitted he had been ‘inappropriate’ with the young woman, but seemed to suggest that their relationship was not physical.
Apology: Instagram model Sumner Stroh issued a public apology over her ‘affair’ with Levine, claiming she was led to believe the singer’s marriage to pregnant wife Prinsloo was over
The singer shared a post addressing the cheating rumours, penning: ‘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. In certain instances it became inappropriate. I have addressed that and taken proactive steps to remedy this with my family.’
He continued: ‘My wife and my family is all I care about in this world. To be this naïve 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.’
The statement however, appears to contradict Stroh’s now viral TikTok video where she claimed that she had an ‘affair’ with Levine for ‘about a year’ and included their flirty messages that suggested the two had met in person at least once.
Raunchy: In a TikTok posted on Monday, Stroh shared screenshots of their flirty exchanges on Instagram, including one where the singer admitted he was mind blown by how ‘hot’ she was after they met for the first time
Bizarre: Stroh claimed the two lost contact after a few months, but said Levine later came back into her life this year when he revealed his wife was expecting their third child and asked if he could name the child Sumner, leaving her horrified
In her original video she claimed: ‘Essentially, I was having an affair with a man who is married to a Victoria’s Secret supermodel. At the time, I was young and naïve. And I mean, quite frankly, I feel exploited. I wasn’t in the scene like I am now, so I was definitely easily manipulated.’
Stroh, who did not disclose specifics about their encounters, pointed to one Instagram DM between the pair, in which Levine writes: ‘It is unreal how f***ing hot you are. Like it blows my mind.’
‘You are 50 times hotter in person,’ he adds.
According to Stroh, who has over 338,000 followers on Instagram, she and Levine were ‘seeing each other for about a year’, until the two lost contact ‘over a period of months.’
Wife: Levine was once almost as famous for his string of model girlfriends as he is for his music and sex appeal before tying the knot with Prinsloo in 2014. The Namibian model is seen walking the runway at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion show in 2010
However, the 43-year-old musician would later get back in touch this year to share the news that he was expecting another child with his wife of eight years, she claimed.
And to her astonishment, the heavily tattooed singer asked if he could name the child Sumner if it turned out to be a boy – a request that Stroh said left her horrified.
In a follow-up video the social media personality, who had just moved to Los Angeles at the time of their fling, claimed that she had naively believed Levine and Prinsloo’s marriage was ‘over’ at the time.
‘The most important part that I definitely glossed over was the fact that I was under the impression that their marriage was over,’ she said.

‘I believed they were keeping it quiet to avoid the negative press because, as I had said, I was new to LA so I just assumed that with celebrities of the caliber that’s just how it was.
‘And that’s why I feel exploited because he knew I believed everything he said because of my vulnerable position of being new to LA.
‘I now realize that was likely a manipulation tactic of his…just hiding in plain sight,’ she added. ‘As soon as I had realized that was not the case, I cut things off with him.
‘In retrospect, I wish I would’ve questioned things more. I wish I wasn’t so naïve, but you know, being naïve is no excuse for what I did in the role I played for this.
‘Again, in no way was I trying to gain sympathy and I fully realize I’m not the victim in this. I’m not the one who is really getting hurt here, it’s Behati and her children. And for that I am so, so, sorry.’
Stroh reiterated that she chose to come forward only after learning one of her friends had allegedly gone to the press with her claims, and she ‘wanted to kill whatever story the tabloid had.’
Stroh did not provide an exact timeline of the affair, however, the allegations have emerged just five days after Prinsloo confirmed her pregnancy on an Instagram post amid heavy speculation.
‘I’ve cheated’: Adam Levine insisted ‘monogamy is not in our genetic makeup’ in unearthed interview… as the singer has been hit with multiple ‘affair’ claims while wife Behati Prinsloo is pregnant with their third child (pictured together in February)
Levine was once almost as famous for his string of model girlfriends as he is for his music and sex appeal before tying the knot with Prinsloo in 2014.
Until he married Prinsloo in a romantic ceremony in Cabo San Lucas in July 2014, Levine had been the ultimate playboy with a dating career that included Victoria’s Secret models Anne Vyalitsana and Nina Agdal, as well as a rumored fling with Jessica Simpson.
Levine previously admitted he doesn’t think monogamy is natural in an unearthed interview conducted five years before he wed Prinsloo.
In a 2009 interview with Cosmopolitan – five years before he married Prinsloo – he was asked ‘why do guys cheat?’ to which he responded: ‘Instinctively, monogamy is not in our genetic makeup.
‘People cheat. I have cheated. And you know what? There is nothing worse than the feeling of doing it.’
Levine, who is worth an estimated $150 million, previously embraced his image as an A-list lothario – even admitting in a 2012 interview that he had enjoyed a ‘promiscuous’ phase and blaming his desire to sleep with so many women on the fact that he ‘loved them so much’.
Yet it seemed meeting model Prinsloo had put a halt to his Playboy past, with the couple settling down and welcoming daughters Dusty Rose, five, and Gio, three. They currently have a third child on the way.
However, after eight years of marriage, Levine’s scandal-ridden love life is once again dominating the headlines.
