Jana Kramer says Adam Levine’s cheating scandal apology is ‘triggering’
Jana Kramer, who was cheated on by ex-husband Mike Caussin, says she felt “triggered” by Adam Levine’s recent DM scandal.
“I am over the stuff that happened [to me], but it’s still very triggering when something comes up,” the country singer, 38, said during Sunday’s episode of her “Whine Down” podcast.
“I was pregnant when my ex cheated.”
Levine, 43, was accused of cheating on his pregnant wife, Behati Prinsloo, with a TikTok user named Summer Stroh. The Maroon 5 frontman denied the cheating allegation — but admitted that he “crossed the line” by sending Stroh inappropriate messages via Instagram.
Levine also confessed in his statement that he “used poor judgment” in speaking with anyone but Prinsloo, 34, in a “flirtatious” manner.
“To hear these words — ‘My wife and my family is all I care about in this world’ — that was always my big issue in my marriage,” Kramer argued. “How am I? How? When? Before or after when you said ‘You’re the hottest girl in the world’ to some other women.
“Not trying to make this about me or anything, but I feel like when someone cheats or is inappropriate, their apology is what triggers me the most,” she added, comparing Levine’s statement to what NBA star Tristan Thompson said after cheating on Khloé Kardashian.
Kramer has been vocal about her own relationship issues over the years, both on social media and in the press. Her now-ex, 35, also admitted to cheating on her with multiple women during their rocky marriage, which lasted from 2015 to 2021.
The duo tied the knot in 2015 but separated a year later after Kramer discovered Caussin had been unfaithful. They rekindled their relationship and renewed their vows in December 2017.
Caussin later admitted that he suffered from an addiction to sex. Kramer filed for divorce in April 2021, accusing him of adultery in the filing. They finalized their divorce in July 2021.
Kramer and Caussin share two kids: Jolie, 6, and Jace, 3. The “Dancing With the Stars” alum was previously married to Michael Gambino for less than a year in 2004 and to Johnathon Schaech from 2010 to 2011.
Meanwhile, since Stroh went public with her allegations against Levine, several other women have come forward with screenshots of flirty DMs the rocker allegedly sent.
Some of his alleged direct messages, which have since been turned into memes, show Levine saying things like, “Holy f–k. That body of yours is absurd,” and “It is truly unreal how f–king hot you are.”
Levine and Prinsloo — who share daughters Dusty Rose, 5, and Gio Grace, 4, and have a third baby on the way — have since put on a united front amid the scandal.
