"People shouldn't say those kinds of things, because, f--k you," Adam told E! and other reporters at a press conference in New York. "It's like, come on guys, grow up. The one thing about the culture right now -- celebrity culture particularly -- that is so ugly is people feel like they can just say nasty things about other people ... she gets a lot of it."
"It pisses me off," Levine said. "Of course I have her back, of course I defend her."
It isn't the first time Adam has spoken out about his colleague's figure, although he seems to be singing quite a different tune this time around. When prodded on the subject by radio host Howard Stern back in February, Adam responded a bit mockingly, "Her clothes are tight. She likes to wear tight clothes. She clearly likes to talk about being comfortable with being a woman and snapping her fingers and doing the whole thing."
Adam also took the opportunity to clear the air about alleged bad blood between himself and his "Moves Like Jagger" duet partner. "The fights that everyone thought we were having were fictional -- we never hated each other, we never were having some sort of secret battles that everyone thought we were having," he insisted . "They were silly bickering things that brother and sister would do. It's not nearly what everybody thought ... We're all good, Christina and I."
