During Tuesday night’s live telecast (video below), Levine was overheard saying “I hate this country” under his breath as viewers voted off two of his contestants — Judith Hill and Sarah Simmons — while electing to rescue country singer Amber Carrington.
Levine’s hot-mike blunder sparked a Twitter backlash against the singer, with some calling for him to be fired from the show. Others were less heated (“I hate Maroon 5 just as much as Adam Levine hates America,” one wrote).
And still others defended the singer (“It’s just an expression,” one fan tweeted) or joked it off (“He meant [I hate] country music”).
Rather than apologize, Levine posted a series of defensive tweets (below) that attempted to make it clear that he was joking and didn’t literally mean he hated the United States. NBC had no immediate comment.
