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. 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 She Will Be Loved singer further explained saying, "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 onstage and the fans."

Though the actor received criticism for his reaction, there were several fans that stood up for the singer and said that that's how every human would react. One user wrote via Twitter, "um why is Adam Levine being villainized for reacting REASONABLY to some random fan running up to him while he was performing during a concert how do you expect someone to react to something like that."
