shake off the encounter while walking to the other end of the stage. The 42-year-

‘He forgets it’s people like her why he is what he is.’ Though many fans defended
his actions, the singer took to Instagram on Tuesday to share his side of the
story. Adam Levine has explained his reaction after being grabbed on stage
(Picture: Luis Pealoza/TikTok) ‘I just wanted to address the Hollywood Bowl
incident thing, a fan coming up to me onstage,’ he said in the first clip. ‘I have
always been someone that loves, respects, worships our fans. Without our fans, we
don’t have a job. I say that all the time, to our fans.’ He continued: ‘To think
that anyone would believe that I thought that our fans were beneath us, or less
than us, makes my stomach turn. That’s just not who I am. That’s not who I’ve ever
been.’ The singer explained he had been startled by the fan and was simply trying
to ‘shake it off’ and move on with the performance (Picture: Luis Pealoza/TikTok)
The Sunday Morning hitmaker continued: ‘So I just need you guys to know I was
really startled, and sometimes when you’re startled…you have to shake it off and
move on. Because I’m doing my job up there. ‘And it’s what I pride myself on, so I
need to let you guys know what my heart is, and my heart is that connection that
exists between the band performing on stage and the fans.’ More: US Showbiz news

respects, worships our fans. Without our fans, we don't have a job. I say that all
the time — to our fans." "To think that anyone would believe that I thought that
our fans were beneath us or less than us makes my stomach turn. That's just not who
I am. That's not who I've ever been," said the former Voice coach. Levine defended
his actions by saying, “I just need you guys to know I was really startled. And
sometimes when you're startled… you have to shake it off and move on cause I'm
doing my job up there. It's what I pride myself on." “I need to let you guys know
