Behati Prinsloo was spotted backstage at Adam Levine’s show with Maroon 5 in Las Vegas on Saturday night, Page Six reported. The performance marked Levine’s first public appearance since he was accused of cheating on his pregnant wife and sending flirtatious messages to multiple women on Instagram.
Levine, 43, took the stage at the MGM Grand Hotel over the weekend as part of Shaquille O’Neal’s benefit gala, “The Event,” which was attended by stars including Rob Gronkowski, Camille Kostek, Logan Paul and Flavor Flav. O’Neal, who previously praised Levine amid the scandal, publicly endorsed the singer as he spoke at the event.
“Adam is a friend of mine from (a long) time ago. I always tell myself, you know, I can’t be a hypocrite,” explained the NBA legend, who was married to Shaunie Henderson from 2002 to 2011. “Now, I wasn’t the best husband in the world, so just because I have a great platform right now it doesn’t give me the right to criticize other people. He’s great, he’s doing something for the kids, he’s always been that way. I’m happy for him,” he said.
The 50-year-old former Los Angeles Lakers player was referring to recent claims made by model Sumner Stroh, who, along with other women, accused Levine of sending inappropriate and flirtatious direct messages via Instagram. Stroh alleged in a video shared on TIkTok that she had a year-long affair with the married musician, who shares daughters Dusty Rose, 5, and Gio Grace, 4, with Prinsloo, 34. The supermodel is currently pregnant with her third child. baby.
Levine later admitted to sending inappropriate messages that “crossed the line” in a statement shared via his Instagram story. However, he denied having an affair.
“There is a lot of talk about me and I want to clarify things. I used poor judgment in speaking to anyone other than my wife in ANY flirtatious way,” Levine wrote in part earlier this month. “I didn’t have an affair, however, I did cross the line during an unfortunate period of my life. In certain cases, it became inappropriate. I have addressed that and taken proactive steps to remedy it with my family.” Despite the international backlash, Levine and Prinsloo have been putting on a united front in public.
The Victoria’s Secret angel has been photographed holding her husband’s hand on several occasions since the scandal, and even sent a subtle message by wearing a T-shirt that said “Love.”
