In the second screenshot of alleged messages — dated Wednesday June 1 and which Stroh said she received after she d gone a period of months without speaking to him — Levine appeared to ask if he could use her name for his new baby with Prinsloo

In retrospect I wish I would ve questioned things more I wish I wasn t so naive But you know being naive is not an excuse for what I did and the role I played in this she said

Before long Levine spoke out with a statement of his own denying claims that he had engaged in an affair

A lot is being said about me right now and I want to clear the air I used poor judgment in speaking with anyone other than my wife in ANY kind of flirtatious manner he wrote on his Instagram story on Tuesday

I did not have an affair nevertheless I crossed the line during a regrettable period of my life In certain instances it became inappropriate I have addressed that and taken proactive steps to remedy this with my family he went on

The statement concluded with Levine writing that his wife and family are all I care about in this world and that putting them at risk was was the greatest mistake I could ever make

I will never make it again I take full responsibility he added We will get through it And we will get through it together

Later on Tuesday a fourth woman came forward to allege that Levine had sent her a flirtatious message — however this time not while he was married to Prinsloo

Alanna Zabel — a yoga instructor who claimed to have worked for Levine between 2007 and 2010 — hopped onto Maryka s #ExposeAdamLevine hashtag sharing allegations that the Grammy winner had messaged her inappropriately on one occasion while he was still dating a woman named Rebecca Becky Ginos whom he was believed to have been romantically involved with between 2006 and 2009

On her Instagram story Zabel claimed that her partner at the time saw the message and got violent with her

One day he texted me saying I want to spend the day with you naked I was in the bath but my jealous ex saw it and went into a rage she wrote I assured my ex that I was sure it was meant for Adam s then-girlfriend Becky and was a mistake I texted Adam to ask if that was the case Adam didn t reply…

Zabel called this period one of the most devastating times of my life claiming that Levine fired her from his tour and started ignoring her
