A series of awkward Instagram DMs show that People’s 2013 Sexiest Man Alive may have let the honor go to his head. ⁠ ⁠ There’s no real evidence that Adam Levine, the frontman of the candy-coated pop band Maroon 5, ever actually had a physical affair. ⁠ ⁠ But the breakneck speed at which five different women came forward this week, alleging everything from a year-long relationship to innocent flirting with the crooner, has left gossip hounds salivating.⁠ ⁠ There are moments of unadulterated ego, like when he appears to tell one woman—via Instagram DM—she’s “50 times hotter in person” before adding, “and so am i,” or when he later asks the same woman if he can name his child after her, leading her to conclude, “I’m in hell.” ⁠ ⁠ Some of the messages are just pathetically horny—in one thread, he appears to compliment a woman’s backside and begs her, “I’d do anything for it,” capping off his plea with a swirly-eyes emoji that almost makes you feel bad for him, until you remember he’s married with kids.⁠ ⁠ Read more with the link in bio.⁠ ⁠ —⁠ ⁠ Photo Illustration: @lrendon/The Daily Beast/Getty⁠ #adamlevine #maroon5 #womanizer #entertainment #news #celebrities
