Emily Ratajkowski To Married Men (Like Adam Levine): Stop Cheating
Emily Ratajkowski attends as Harper's BAZAAR and Bloomingdale's Host Fête September 9 Celebrating Harper's BAZAAR Global ICONS Portfolio and Bloomingdale's 150th Anniversary at Bloomingdale's on September 09, 2022 in New York City.
Emily Ratajkowski appears to have offered her take following the recent accusations of Adam Levine’s alleged affair. In case you missed it, 23-year-old Instagram model Sumner Stroh posted a video to TikTok claiming that Levine and she were seeing each other for a year. She showed legitimate-looking screenshots of DMs from the Maroon 5 frontman — including one that said he wants to name his third child after her. Since then, other women have come forward to expose Levine’s flirtatious DMs.
Without naming Adam or Sumner, 90210 actor Sara Foster took to TikTok to criticize women who “cheat with married men.” She said, “This woman, who chose to make a viral TikTok video putting it out there for the world to see — for a pregnant woman to see — when she could have just messaged her privately, claiming it’s not her fault or something. It’s like, we don’t feel sorry for you! You knew this man was married, okay, and you participated. You could have easily ignored the messages, you knew he was married. We do not feel sorry for you.”
In the nearly three-minute-long TikTok, Foster added, “Any man looking to engage, married with another woman, you are a pig. But as women, we need to do better. If a married man is being a pig and reaching out to you, you hopefully have been raised well enough to be like, ‘No, sorry, you’re married. I can’t engage.’ This chick is giving women a very bad name.”
Ratajkowski fired back to Foster’s video with a stitch captioned: “maybe we just hold men accountable instead of just accepting them as terrible, asking them to do work, and then blaming other women? ok gn.” The Gone Girl actress said in the video, “I’m going to try to not to go the f— off right now. I just couldn’t disagree more. I don’t understand why we continue to blame women for men’s mistakes. Especially when you’re talking about 20-something-year-old women dealing with men in positions of power who are twice their age. The power dynamic is so skewed, it’s ridiculous. It’s predatory, it’s manipulative. I can’t imagine. I do not agree.”
“Also, if you’re the one in the relationship, you’re the one who’s obligated to be loyal. So, the whole ‘other women, they’re to blame,’ that’s bad and it’s literally designed to keep women apart.”
In a follow-up video, Ratajkowski, who starred in Maroon 5’s “Love Somebody” music video said, “I think a huge problem in our culture right now is that we just say, ‘Oh, men are monsters, they’re terrible, they’re horrible.’ We don’t hold them accountable and then we blame other women. We ask women to adjust their behavior instead of just saying men need to change their behavior. It’s sexism. It’s classic misogyny.”
As we previously reported, Levine issued a statement denying having any physical contact with Sumner Stroh. He wrote on Instagram: “A lot is being said about me right now and I want to clear the air. 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 in my life.”
He went on say that “in certain instances, it became inappropriate” and that he has “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.”
Adam Levine’s Alleged Mistress Speaks Out On TikTok
Instagram model Sumner Stroh has dropped a bombshell on Adam Levine, claiming to have had an affair with the married Maroon 5 frontman. She also claimed that Levine, 43, wanted to name his and wife Behati Prinsloo’s third child after her.
Levine and Prinsloo recently announced their pregnancy via a post on the Victoria’s Secret model’s Instagram. “Recent,” Prinsloo captioned the photo carousel with a fairy emoji, which saw her growing belly peeking out from under her tie-dye t-shirt. The couple, who wed in 2014, are already parents to daughters Dusty Rose, 5, and Gio Grace, 4.
In a minute-and-a-half video posted to TikTok today (September 19), Stroh, 23, said, “I’m just going to rip the bandaid off because I’ve re-taken this ten times now. Essentially, I was having an affair with a man who is married to a Victoria’s Secret model. At the time, I was young, I was naive and quite frankly I feel exploited. I wasn’t in the scene like I am now so I was definitely very easily manipulated.”
“Maroon 5 is practically elevator music at this point, so I’m sure you know who Adam Levine is,” she continued with a green screen effect showing DMs between the two of them. The alleged DMs from Adam read: “It is unreal how f—ing hot you are. Like it blows my mind,” to which she replied, “I mean I think the same. Seeing u in person I was like… I’m f—ed.” Adam then said: “You are 50 times hotter in person. And so am I… hahaha.”
“Adam and I were seeing each other for about a year,” Stroh continued. “After I stopped talking to him over a period of months, this is… how he came back into my life. He said, ‘Ok serious question. I’m having another baby and if it’s [a] boy I really wanna name it Sumner. You ok with that? DEAD serious.'”
The Instagram model looked in shock as she joked, “I’m in hell. I have to be in hell at this point.” She continued to say that she would’ve handled this privately and would not have come forward because she “obviously I know the implications that comes with doing what I do, making the money the way I do and being an Instagram model. Being tied to a story like this — I know it’s stereotypes. I had 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.”

One person commented, “It’s no secret he’s been married for a decade. The only victim here is his wife and children,” while another wrote, “I think she forgot the apology somewhere.”
