Sexual Assault Support Group disapproves Maroon 5’s ‘Animals’

Maroon 5 usual theme for a music video has always been sexy and sultry. But with their new hit single ‘Animals’ the band went from sexy to bloody.

RAINN, a known Sexual Assault Support Group in the U.S. says that the music video is dangerous and called it a stalker’s fantasy.

In the video released last September 29, 2014, the band’s lead vocalist Adam Levine portrays a butcher who is stalking a woman, played by his real-life wife Behati Prinsloo. He follows her in the streets, breaks into her home and crawls into bed with her while she sleeps, the woman unaware that he is already next to her. The most unforgettable scene in the video is the stalker’s fantasy turning into a sexual blood bath.

“Maroon 5’s video for “Animals” is a dangerous depiction of a stalker’s fantasy, and no one should ever confuse the criminal act of stalking with romance” Katherine Hull Fliflet, RAINN’s vice president of communications said in a statement.

“The trivialization of these serious crimes, like stalking, should have no place in the entertainment industry” Katherine Hull Fliflet added.
