Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo are pushing back after a former decorator accused them of causing a devastating accident at their home.
The Maroon 5 frontman and his model wife face a lawsuit from Shana Kallen, who claims she suffered life-changing injuries while working on their Montecito property.
Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo want parts of the decorator’s lawsuit dismissed
According to PEOPLE, the dispute began in March 2023 after Shana said she slipped from a ladder while working at the couple’s home. She sued Adam and Behati in May 2024. Shana says she had been hired to decorate the property with plants, trees, flowers, and outdoor planters.
She added new demands in an amended December 2025 complaint. That filing is now under attack from Adam and Behati. They argue that Shana “improperly pled punitive damages” against them. They also say her claims are “boilerplate allegations that do not rise to the level of malice, fraud, or oppression required in order to sustain a claim for punitive damages.”
Adam and Behati say the incident amounted to, at most, “passive negligence.” They also want Shana’s request for future medical costs, listed at $3 to $4 million, removed. The motion says allegations of “reckless disregard” and “malice” lack legal support and violate civil code.
Shana’s story paints a serious picture, claiming the fall caused her head and body “to violently strike the concrete ground.” She claims she spent two days in a coma and later needed a craniectomy.
Shana also alleges “significant” injuries, including “diminishment” of her hearing and eyesight, which now requires hearing aids and prism glasses. She says the accident also led to the “suspension of her driver’s license, reduction in lifespan, and other damages to her body and health.”
Attorneys for both parties declined to comment. Adam and Behati bought the Montecito home for $52 million in 2022 and sold it for $60 million in October 2025.
