Fitness model, 21, is fifth woman to claim Adam Levine sent her flirty messages

A fifth woman has come forward and claimed Adam Levine struck up a flirty conversation with her on social media.

Ashley Russell ā€” who runs a fitness Instagram account with just over 4,100 followers ā€” claimed that, earlier this year, the Maroon 5 singer would watch her Stories, like her posts and even message her directly.

Speaking to the DailyMail in an article published Wednesday, the 21-year-old claimed he would message her “almost everyday at night at around 10 p.m.”

“I would check every time I posted a story, which was every day, and it was always viewed by him,” Russell, who was just 20 at the time, claimed to the outlet. 

“He would like mainly like booty stories and would always reply with something to do with leg or booty day at the gym.”

In a series of screenshots that captured the alleged conversations between Levine, 43, and Russell, he first wrote her, “‘Leg day. The most important and the easiest to skip.”

Later in their conversation, he allegedly asked her, “You’re in college right?,” before adding, “Nice work on legs. #commitment.”

Russell told the outlet she thought it was “weird” that Levine would allegedly talk to her, but she wanted to continue their conversation to see how far she could take him.

She claimed, “He said he found me from his Discover Page on Instagram because he is ‘big into fitness’ and I have a fitness account. I knew it was weird so I wanted to keep it going to see if it got worse.”

“When I told him he was going to get caught DMing girls like me he stopped texting me,” she alleged.  

Despite not talking to her anymore, the singer would allegedly still watch her Stories.

“I think this is the true meaning of disrespect towards a woman. It makes me very sad that he is married and does this immature thing,” she told the outlet, adding that she found it odd he talked to her “considering his age and [that] he’s married.”

Summer Stroh was the first woman to call out the singer.

“I wonder what his [feed] looks likeā€¦ all young women? Very odd to me,” she concluded.

A rep for Levine did not immediately respond to Page Sixā€™s request for comment.

Russell joins four other women who have come forward with claims against the soon-to-be father of three.



Page Six readers want to know …


The first woman, Instagram model Sumner Stroh, said she felt ā€œexploitedā€ after allegedly having an affair with the ā€œGirls Like Youā€ singer while he was married to wife Behati Prinsloo.

She also claimed to Page Six exclusively that she and Levine had a ā€œphysicalā€ relationship after she ā€œgraduated college in 2021.ā€

Alyson Rose also shared similar claims in a now-deleted video. alyson_rose/Instagram

However, Levine immediately denied Strohā€™s claims, saying he ā€œdid not have an affairā€ but ā€œcrossed the line during a regrettable period of my life.”

ā€œI used poor judgment in speaking with anyone other than my wife in ANY kind of flirtatious manner,ā€ the father of two also admitted.

After Stroh went public with her claims, two more women called out the ā€œMemoriesā€ singer.

A woman named Alyson Rose shared in a now-deleted TikTok video a message Levine allegedly sent her that read, ā€œI shouldnā€™t be talking to you you know [that] right šŸ˜¤?ā€

Then a comedian named Maryka took to her Instagram Story on Tuesday to share her alleged DMs with Levine, which read in part, ā€œIā€™m now obsessed with you.ā€

Lastly, his former yoga instructor Alanna Zabel alleged he told his friends she had the ā€œbest ass in town and it was cute.ā€

His previous yoga instructor claimed he commented on her “ass.” aziamyoga/Instagram

ā€œOne day he texted me saying, ā€˜I want to spend the day with you naked,’ā€ she further claimed.

The ā€œSugarā€ singer has not directly addressed the claims of the last four women.

Levine has been married to Prinsloo, 34, since 2014 and they share two daughters: Dusty Rose, 5, and Gio Grace, 4. The couple announced earlier this month that they are expecting their third child.
