An affair with a man who's married to a Victoria's secret model.
At the time, I was young, I was naive and I mean quite frankly,
I feel exploited, I wasn't in the scene like I am now.
So, I was definitely very easily manipulated.
>> You just heard from a woman who has stated that she had an affair with
Adam Levine, the lead singer of maroon Five.
The host of one of those talent shows on network television and
I don't know if he's still doing it, but he used to and
this story just had twists and turns, okay.
So she said that they had an intimate relationship,
he was unfaithful to his wife and yes, he is married,
he's married to a model by the name of Bahati Prince Lu who's gorgeous.
And the model that you heard from, who allegedly had an affair with him
is Sumner stroh, who's an instagram model to be specific.
And we're gonna hear a little more of what she experienced in this relationship
with him.
She believes that she was manipulated, but she does not claim to have been abused.
So let's watch >> Adam and I were seeing each other for
about a year after I stopped talking to him over a period of months,
this is how he came back into my life.
He said, okay, serious question, I'm having another baby and if it's a boy,
I really want to name it Sumner.
You are okay with that, Dead serious.
>> So they kind of stopped seeing each other and then once he found out he was
going to have another child, he proposed naming his child after his mistress.
Now he has since denied that they had a physical affair,
which I remember back in the day, drink you and I would have conversations
about what's worse a physical affair or an emotional affair.
I think emotional affair is worse.
Physical affair I mean, it's just the temptations of the flesh, right?
You don't have your emotions involved in it.
I'm not justifying people who are not faithful physically, but
you get what I'm saying.
Anyway, he says, no, I was just sending her racy text messages.
I never.
>> Yeah, sure.
>> Yeah. >> Okay, so definitely twist and turns,
first of all, first twist, temptations of the flesh is a hilarious phrase.
Let's just note that.
Now we're moving, okay.
So, asking your mistress if it's okay to name your kid with your wife after her,
wow, that is, that's dude [LAUGH] If you're gonna cheat,
don't at least have the decency not to do that, okay.
I mean flip it.
Two guys think about it.
Your wife text the guy she used to sleep with while you guys are married and
wants to name your baby after him.
Jesus, devastated.
Okay, now having said that exploited >> Manipulated
>> Based on what?
Like, he was famous and I wasn't,
does that mean no famous people can hook up anymore?
Cuz they're not in the same industry, he didn't,
he wasn't her boss there was, I mean it doesn't seem to be any coercion, but
hey, you were famous and rich, so I was manipulated.
Were you?
>> Now I wanna go to the last clip featuring Stroke because she says,
listen, I didn't want to come out and make this story public.
But I had no choice and she explains why in this next clip
>> My morals were unknowingly compromised.
I was completely manipulated and heal this privately.
I never wanted to come forward because obviously I know the implications that
come with doing what I do, making money the way I do and be an instagram model.
So being tied to a story like this, it's like I know the stereotypes.
I'd sent some screenshots recklessly to a few friends I thought I trusted and
one of them had attempted to sell to a tabloid.
So here I am >> All right, do you want
to comment on anything she said there >> Definitely, famous making us all sick.
So her, if that story is true, her friend gets a picture or text or
whatever screenshot from her and thinks, I'm gonna make money off their fame.
>> Great friends. >> Yeah, real classy.
Okay, and then I don't believe what she's saying at all overall about like,
God, I was just forcing.
No, I think she loves it.
I think she loves the fame that she's getting off the story and
then she used her friend doing that.
If it's true, as an excuse.
And then what was that about my morals were unknowingly compromised?
I don't even know what that means, she thinks morality.
She can unknowingly compromises.
>> I think she feels guilty that she was having an affair with a married man.
But to needlessly claim that you were manipulated.
I mean you're accusing someone of manipulating you when there's no reason
for us to believe that's true and there's no evidence indicating that's true.
You weren't manipulate.
You wanted to have an affair with him.
By the way, you're not married, so you're free to do what you want.
He's the one who's married with three kids.
And now news is coming out that he was having these
communications with several other women.
Cuz after this came out, all the other women who have had affairs with him
are now going public with screenshots of their text message exchanges.
>> Wait a minute.
A really famous rich guy who's pretty good looking was
having a lot of affairs with other attractive women.
That is breaking news in America.
>> Okay, I think he's all right.
He's not that good looking.
But the thing I wanna say real quick is, look, I don't number one,
I don't care, right?
Like I don't care what Adam Levine is up to.
I feel terrible for his wife because this is now a big,
come on, this is a big public story and it's I know that for
a woman in a monogamous relationship.
One of the worst parts other than being lied to and
betrayed by your partner, is it feels embarrassing, right?
So I feel terrible that his wife is going through this.
But the other point I wanna make is, I mean,
the audacity of public figures and celebrities like Adam Levine thinking,
I'll never get caught >> It's unbelievable.
You're dating an instagram model.
Like I would think there's a 90% chance she's gonna out me.
She's trying to get fame on instagram and nothing wrong with that, but
kind of [LAUGH] Right, like, but that's the person you trust?
No, I bet she definitely won't share our
dirty laundry >> But like take a character like
personality traits and characteristics completely out of it.
Okay, just talk about how life works for a second.
So in order to engage in an affair,
you meet up with this person probably at a hotel somewhere.
You're Adam Levine.
It's not like your, I don't know, some obscure internet talk show host, right?
You're Adam Levine, you're on one of those talent shows on network television.
Like someone is gonna see you entering the hotel room with a random woman, like what?
How do you not think you're gonna get caught.
That's the part of the story that really gets to me.
Just like the brazen nature of it and
the assumption that like he's above it all, he'll never get caught.
>> Yeah.
>> Have some respect for your wife.
You're a public figure, you will get caught and you did get caught.
>> Look, I've had guys come up to me and not in a bad way at all.
And say, I wanna come and say hi when I'm in Vegas at a casino and
they'll say because I was I saw you in the cameras, I worked the camera room.
[LAUGH] You're adam Levine.
I mean there's cameras everywhere,
at least [LAUGH] Everybody's gonna see you and right, that's not his.
I mean, look, will everybody know that's not your wife.
No, but will some percentage of people.
No, of course, it's an unbelievable risk to take.
But they it is the temptations of the flesh.
But one more twist in the story is look, now,
let's just think more women are coming forward.
Makes it sound like he did, he abused them all.
>> Yeah >> So guys, no, as far as I know,
I haven't read the new updates.
But as far as I know,
nobody accusing him of doing anything wrong other than having an affair.
And that's kind of in the ballpark of his business and not our business
>> Right as we talk about this story right
now in this moment, no one has accused him of doing anything abusive, right?
I don't know if that could change in the future.
So I just want to be clear and cover our bases in case this story further devolves
into something even worse >> Yeah and then people will be like,
you guys knew but we didn't just broke.
>> Yeah. >> Right [LAUGH]
>> Yeah, but anyway it's really none of
our business and I hate, I think one of the things that people have
a misconception about is that fame is awesome but it's not, fame sucks.
>> Well especially these days because look, I was just talking to angry retail
guy about this earlier today on the conversation
>> Scott size.
>> Yeah, actually and so he's the guy who does the, you want something
from the back, there's nothing in the back and there's a music and all that.
I love that, yeah.
Anyways and he and I were talking about fame these days in the old days and
I talked to normally about this.
So Norman Lear is legendary TV producer at 7 out of the top 10
shows on TV at once a legend.
And I said, hey when did you get super rich from your fame?
He's like what do you mean day one, we had a TV hit,
I didn't need the other six at all.
The minute, we had one TV hit, we were all had so much money,
we could never spend it in our lives, it's not like that anymore.
So angry retailer has been seen by like everyone on the planet [LAUGH] Has got
millions and millions of views.
We have billions and billions of views.
So, we like, he's like, yeah, now all of a sudden I'm getting recognized everywhere,
every time I go out I get recognize but the money doesn't come with it.
And so I said Scott, so did you then get instantly rich?
He's like, hell no.
Like I'm thrilled, I got a movie job out of it and you know,
that's just one paycheck and it ain't that much.
So now you get all the downsides of fame, people hounding you,
in the old days the famous people could have affairs nonstop, right?
That's they were famous for that.
Now you all get caught, right?
But at least Adam Levine is from the old media, so he still has money.
The rest of us, we don't even get the money, it's only the downsides
>> Well he comes from money as well,
which leads me to believe that even though he has a terrible voice,
he was able to succeed due to his connections.
Come on, you guys know he has a bad voice, right?
Does anyone genuinely think Adam Levine has a great voice?
Come on guys, by the way,
I'm not salty because of like his personal stuff, I don't care.
It's like it doesn't affect me, I don't care, whatever.
But he doesn't have a good voice, I never understood it, I just can't get,
I can't get past it >> You are to Adam Levine as I am to
Kanye West.
