'It hurts ... for sure,' she told Sandoval, who said that Shay admitted to the assault while on a speakerphone call with him and Madix.
'She was like, "I punched that b****,"' he said, to which Leviss replied, 'Oh, yeah, she definitely did ... and I took it like a champ.'

'I'm like, well, 'Is this my karma? And it scares me,' she said.
She told Sandoval, 'I honestly feel like I only have you, my parents and my sister to have my best interest at heart. And even with you, it's questionable.
