Adam Levine is speaking out about his reaction to a fan who jumped on stage during the his Hollywood Bowl performance over the weekend that went viral.
In the TikTok video by user Luis Peñaloza, that’s been watched over 9 million times as of Wednesday, a woman can be seen grabbing Levine’s arm and hugging him before she’s escorted away by security. The Maroon 5 frontrunner has a surprised look on his face and shakes off the encounter – then mouths an expletive as he walks away.
Fans on social media were split about his response with some saying they were put off by his reaction and he needed to “humble” himself, while others defended the artist noting that celebrities are allowed to have boundaries.
“I get it, but he doesn’t have to act disgusted by her. Like those are his fans that keep him relevant. Still a huge fan tho (sic),” commented TikTok user @gavzona while another user remarked “he acted like a child.”
