Following the reunion, Danús claimed that Carton had told her they were dating, despite her denial to the public. “I texted Sara, ‘I’m hearing a lot of things about you and Joey. Is there anything you need to tell me?’ And she called me and said, ‘Nothing’s official, but we are seeing each other,’” she said in an interview for Elite Daily published March 18. “She said they didn’t want to make anything official until any online hate dies down.”

Danús said she felt betrayed by her former friend Carton. “She told me this started a month ago, so that’s at least two months ago now. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was longer,” the Netflix personality said. “All this time when I was venting to her about Joey and she was saying she had my back, she was actually with him.

“It’s a betrayal, and it’s very hurtful,” she continued. “It’s no surprise from Joey — I don’t think very highly of him, and I don’t want him in my life. But I’m hurt that Sara would do this to me.”

Carton maintained her relationship timeline. However, in the comment section of her Instagram post on Sunday, while responding to a follower who asked why she and Leveille denied their romance “for so long.”
