Shay has denied ever punching Leviss. Her attorney said, "This case is a fabrication by a known liar and a cheat who has betrayed everyone close to her. Scheana never punched [Raquel], period,"
The lawyer added, "The supposed dark markings around her left eye have been there for months. Neither Scheana nor other cast members want anything to do with [Raquel] going forward.”
Shay said she was ready to make her case at the next court hearing later this month.
