LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Adam Levine and Sumner Stroh have been in the news lately after the Instagram model accused the musician of starting an affair with her while being married to Behati Prinsloo. On her TikTok, she shared, “I only came forward because I wanted to kill whatever story the tabloid had. The most important part that I did definitely gloss over is the fact that I was under the impression that their marriage was over.
“I believe that 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 that caliber, that that's just how it was. Because of my vulnerable position of being new to LA. Also, he was DMing me straight from his verified Instagram account. I didn't have any reason to further question it. But I now realise that that was likely a manipulation tactic of his, you know, just hiding in plain sight.”

Stroh's story appear to have convinced a lot of people online. But now, a TikToker named Rachel Badger has claimed that the model “is not a nice person”. Badger in a TikTok video has reportedly claimed that Stroh is a bully and belives that she has created this huge lie involving Levine to gain some popularity.

Speaking with the Daily Dot, Badger said that she has known Stroh since 2010 when she attended the same Central Texas summer camp with her. She alleged that the now-23-year-old began bullying her in 2010, but it got worse when they were put in the same cabins in 2015 and 2016. “I’ve had two people from my cabin come forward and apologize saying they were influenced by Sumner,” the TikTok user stated.
Badger told the Daily Dot, “One of them told me she would go around and tell people not to be friends with me because I was weird or too friendly. I always thought it was because of how I looked or how much I weighed.”
Meanwhile, after the infidelity scandal erupted, Levine issued a statement that read, “I used poor judgment in speaking with anyone other than my wife [Behati Prinsloo] 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.”

“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,” the Maroon 5 frontman added, who shares two children with Prinsloo.
