Adam Levine Comes Forward With A Half-Assed Apology After Refusing To Admit He Had An Affair With Instagram Model Sumner Stroh

Source - Adam Levine says the IG model who claims she was manipulated into having a year-long physical relationship with him is full of it ... though he admits he "crossed the line."

Adam tells TMZ, "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 of my life."

He goes on ... "In certain instances it became inappropriate. I have addressed that and taken proactive steps to remedy this with my family."

And he says ... "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, Adam, Adam. My sweet Adam. Just admit it brother - the jig is up. You got caught red handed and there's nothing you can say that is going to convince the public otherwise. You are, for lack of a better term, a scumbag. The same goes for Sumner who I wrote about yesterday...

Although you have to give Adam's PR team credit, including the words "during a difficult time in my life" is textbook manipulation. And for those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about, here is the original video from Sumner that went viral yesterday…

She also released a video today in response to the backlash she received for not apologizing. You can watch that here but I'm warning you, it'll kill brain cells. That's all I have for this one. Hopefully we never have to hear about this fiasco again. Have a lovely Tuesday!
