The Adam Levine Cheating DISASTER | Sumner v Behati Prinsloo Affair.
FULL TRANSCRIPT
you know when I feel like I know that
somebody is a cheater it's when there's
an allegation of cheating but they say
oh I did not have an affair so according
to the dictionary an affair is actually
a longer term relationship with somebody
not just a fling and I feel like this is
a loophole where cheaters who have had
sex with people are able to say yeah
they say to themselves I had sex with
the person then it was great or whatever
but then publicly they tell people oh I
didn't have an affair and so even though
they know they cheated they tell the
world they did not have an affair
because they're playing the definitional
loophole that an affair is a
relationship and they feel like they
were just having sex so therefore
because they didn't have an affair they
could try to tell the world that no
they're not a scumbag cheater but we
have to be clear here the allegations
that Adam Levine is a cheater are just
that they're allegations and we have to
keep in mind that allegations could
ultimately be untrue even though in Adam
Levine's statement he does say the
phrase
Affair but no he did not have an affair
despite the allegations that are now
surfacing now I'm gonna give you a
summary of what is going on here and add
my personal life advice commentary as
somebody who's been married for nine
years and has two children seven and
four and a half don't forget the half
we're really important otherwise you
gotta piss off Max okay so I want to do
that because there are a lot of
triggered people on the internet that
are yelling and shouting and rightfully
so you know this is a little bit uh
dramatic uh but I I do think it's very
important to add some practical insight
and some practical life advice to this
so that way hopefully everybody can
learn from this and I'm going to use
myself as an example on this so some
background Adam Levine Maroon 5 singer
wife they've been married for eight
years she's a Victoria Secret Angel
obviously together they've got a lot
money Fame children family beautiful
home beautiful life hey sounds great
right I mean sure some people now call
Maroon 5 elevator music but you you know
I have to say it sounds like a pretty
nice setup for a happy life well there's
obviously a lot more to this because
something obviously broke because this
individual named Sumner Strow who's an
Instagram model allegedly she calls
herself an Instagram model uh says that
she had to come out with information and
the allegation that her and Adam Levine
had an affair for about a year within
the last year I was having an affair
with a man who's married to a Victoria's
Secret model at the time you know I was
young I was naive and I mean quite
frankly I feel exploited I wasn't in the
scene like I am now
um so I was definitely very easily
manipulated and the reason she was
coming out with that is because her
friend got screenshots because she sent
her friend those screenshots of her
basically having flirtatious
conversation conversations with Adam
Levine uh and some I imagine uh trophy
of how she had sex with Adam Levine
whatever and she wanted to get ahead of
her friend selling those screenshots to
a tabloid some friend or a creative
story to come out with this story for
yourself because see she that is similar
does say that she's new to LA but I'll
tell you even if you're new to La you
know if you break a big story like this
a big allegation against somebody who's
really got a lot more Fame than you it
brings a lot of attention to you it
brings a lot of hate to you but it could
also bring more people looking at your
Instagram profile and that is a way of
social media today now Sumner tried to
play this down by saying things like
well I was young the problem with that
is this was all happening within the
last year so you know you're 23 today
like what were you like 22 like I don't
know if that's the best excuse and I
don't know that the next best excuse
that she gives is really good either and
that's thing saying things like she
feels like she was manipulated exploited
because a she was new to LA and B Adam
Levine was using a verified account on
Instagram I have to say if you feel
manipulated by a blue check mark
my heart goes out to you because there
are bigger problems at play I only came
forward because I wanted to kill
whatever Story the Tabloid had the most
important part that I did definitely in
gloss over is the fact that I was under
the impression that their marriage was
over also he was jamming me straight
from his verified Instagram account I
didn't have any reason to further
question it but I now realized that that
was likely a manipulation tactic of his
you know just hiding in plain sight
nobody's hiding in plain sight and able
to manipulate people in my opinion or
should be able to because somebody has a
blue check mark and if that is true
maybe we need to start the trend expose
the blue check mark okay it sounds crazy
but now a lot of stress is being put on
Behati and to her children the family of
Adam Levine and they are the real
victims here not Sumner who had a
relationship likely a cheating
relationship and a sexual relationship
for a year and is now essentially
showing that off as a trophy to other
people certainly starting with her
friends but the real victim here and
this is why Sumner is getting a lot of
hate for potentially playing victimhood
the real victim here is bahati because
she is not only now pregnant with her
her third child but has to consider the
potential to go through a devastating
divorce or to stay with somebody who's a
cheater if indeed he is which obviously
at this point the internet is concluded
no he's a cheater Kevin don't even
suggest that he's not all right well
look here's the thing we're going to get
into some practical advice here but
there's some really funky things about
the story including a screenshot that
suggests Adam Levine asked for
permission from Sumner via a quote
serious question
that hey is it okay if he names his next
child if it's a boy Sumner spelled that
same way
s-u-m-n-e-r he said okay serious
question I'm having another baby and if
it's a boy I really uh want to name it
Sumner you okay with that dead serious
um
you know to me that just seems like
extremely inappropriate that would
almost be like me going to my wife and
saying hey can we name our next daughter
or our first daughter uh after my middle
school Crush except this is even worse
it's let's name our child after somebody
I've been
allegedly but likely doinking for the
last year that is really an ugly trophy
that is turning your child into a trophy
of your scandalous and undercover fling
quite dirty so there are some things
here that are pretty nasty in the story
and I think they can they actually help
make the situation quite viral a second
woman has come out she's a comedian uh
apparently she has screenshots showing
things like I'm obsessed with you uh and
her reply is like dude aren't you
married and his reply is like yeah but
it's a bit complicated stuff gets hard
and the vid thing didn't help I might
get away you know these things just
don't sound like they're from somebody
who has the correct intentions uh of
course assuming that these are indeed uh
from uh uh from from Adam Levine and
that that they're they're factual see
Aristotle and I'm a big Aristotelian you
know do the right thing when people
aren't even looking right that's very
important but Aaron Aristotle once said
it's the intention that makes the crime
see people make mistakes you know if if
you were right now teleported into a
room and you're a woman and there's a
there's a you know oiled up dude with a
six-pack and it's like hey here's some
wine or maybe you've already had
something to drink like let's go you
know that that is a situation where your
barriers are likely going to be very low
the same would be true in Reverse for a
guy you know you get teleported with
with a a model in a hotel room and
you're both naked and oiled up and
you've had alcohol your your barriers
are going to be very low to be able to
resist uh this this sort of Temptation
that's not to say you can't resist the
temptation and and everybody hopes that
they will be able to but your barriers
will be extremely low but again
Aristotle says it's the intention that
makes the crime and this is where
there's a difference between uh you know
a one-night mistake and a long-term
relation ship where you've clearly had
enough time to realize what you're doing
is wrong you've had enough time to try
to correct and remedy this situation but
you then only do once you're exposed
that's when you know in my opinion that
somebody really is more likely devious
and guilty than not because again the
intention makes the crime everybody
makes mistakes but the intention is
everything because intention and wrong
intentions lead to betrayal and a lack
of trust not only by your spouse and
your children but by others around you
whether it's in business or family or
otherwise and I think this is the most
devastating impact of somebody betraying
their family and really creates when we
can't say this enough that the biggest
victim here is bahati and everybody's
heart should go out to her and the
children especially given that she's
pregnant where you already have the
nightmares of pregnancy to go through
which are very terrible for some people
from not only nausea and morning
sickness but a massive hormone
imbalances that that make pregnancy
extremely stressful and in some cases
for people extremely painful
so terrible terrible timing for all of
this but uh you know ultimately the
truth tends to have a way of coming out
and oftentimes it comes out at a very
inconvenient time so what is my
practical advice for individuals in
relationships well my practical advice
here is uh it might sound cliche but
quite frankly it's communication
I have personally had feelings as well
of wanting to have sex with other women
I would have been extremely clear about
that to Laura and anytime I've gone
through those uh sort of phases of like
wow I I don't know why but I'm in this
phase right now where I have this
extreme urge uh to to have sex with
other women and and that could be
something that anybody could feel
whether they're a man or a woman about
another man or a woman and I think it's
very important to have that dialogue
with another person because you don't
want to act on those feelings and you
want to make sure you keep yourself away
from that Temptation now I've never
acted on those feelings uh as much as I
would have loved to in in life I've
never had add another sexual partner in
life I met Lauren when I was 16 years
old and she was 17 years old it was
scandalous but uh yeah I mean like I I
don't know what that's like uh and so
it's it's potentially even more tempting
uh for me but I don't put myself into a
dark alley because I don't want to get
mugged I don't put myself into
situations with other women because I I
don't want to betray Lauren and I don't
want to do what's wrong and and lose
that Aristotelian accredit Integrity
that that I feel I have so one of the
things that I found that's very useful
is when we have a problem with our
relationship I bring it up even if it
feels like it'd be difficult to bring up
you know it's very difficult to tell
your spouse that hey you have feelings
that you want to have sex with other
people but I actually think this is
extremely important because uh then then
you can you can walk through okay why uh
what's the goal what's missing what's
the feeling is it is it just lust is it
a desire for something different okay
can we do something different you know
what what can we do can we can we go on
a couples only vacation let's go to
Germany let's go to Italy let's get away
from the kids for a while uh what can we
do to get through this together not just
time wise but action-wise what can we do
differently uh and uh and I found
personally that that uh you know these
sort of feelings can come in in waves
where sometimes you're just like totally
uninterested you're you're busy and with
with other things and that's not even a
remote consideration and other times you
have this Amplified feeling of oh my
gosh like I'm vulnerable here right uh
and and I think having that that
discussion is is extremely clear uh so
that way you and your partner can work
on these situations uh together I
believe this is uh very very important
life advice it's worked very well for
Lauren and I it's never failed I hope it
never does fail uh and uh you know it
also certainly helps that uh if you keep
yourself away from Temptation it's very
hard to end up in that hotel room
because you can't get teleported like I
said in the situation anyway situation
sounds pretty crazy let me know what
