This week, all hell broke loose after model Sumner Stroh revealed on TikTok that she had a yearlong affair with Maroon 5 lead singer Adam Levine.

In another now-infamous alleged DM, Sumner said after she stopped talking to Adam for months, he randomly asked if she’d be OK with him naming his future child after her:

“My morals were unknowingly compromised. I was completely manipulated,” Sumner said. “I wanted to handle this privately. I never wanted to come forward because obviously, I know the implications of doing what I do — making the money the way I do, being an Instagram model…I know the stereotypes.”

Sumner then added that she shared screenshots with a friend, who then allegedly attempted to sell them to a tabloid.

The entire situation — especially the baby name thing — became a huge scandal and meme online. There were a bunch of viral tweets:

“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,” Adam said.

“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,” he said. “We will get through it. And we will get through it together.”
