The fact that Adam Levine is getting any sort of backlash for how he responded to this fan running on stage is insane. Not wanting some random person to run up and hug you while you’re doing your job certainly does not mean that you believe that you’re better than that person. Imagine you work at a grocery store. You’re stocking up some shelves and are locked in on making it as organized and presentable as possible when all of a sudden you feel arms wrap tightly around you. Are you going to take the time to see if it’s an appreciative customer just wanting to thank you for putting the cans of baked beans so neatly on the shelf? Or are you going to immediately separate yourself from that person and look at them wondering what the hell is wrong with them? I’m guessing we’d all go with option number 2.
This made up scenario doesn’t really matter though because there is also the fact that Adam Levine IS better than us. People don’t just risk potentially getting in fairly serious trouble to run up and hug someone who isn’t better than them. (Must be similar consequences to running on the field at a professional sporting event right?) He’s smoking hot and talented as hell so even if his reaction was one of disgust that someone from the concert crowd had run up and touched him rather than him just being startled, that’s a completely fair and reasonable reaction in my book. No apology needed.
