Adam Levine has yet to publicly comment on his powdered sugar attack on May 6, but his friends from "The Voice" are weighing in.
"We talked a little about that tonight," host Carson Daly told Headlines & Global News exclusively on Monday. "He was nervous, as anyone would be when a white substance is all of sudden on you."
While signing autographs outside the studios for "Jimmy Kimmel Live," a prankster named Navid Farsi doused the "Sugar" singer with the powdered substance. Police arrested Farsi on the spot and he was found guilty of battery.
"In this day and age, you just don't know what it is? I think he knew immediately what it was and was okay, but it scared him and rightfully so," said Daly.
Farsi received a three-year probation sentence along with 20 days of community service and is required to attend 52 counseling sessions. He also is forbidden from approaching Levine or coming within 500 yards of Kimmel's studio.
Daly has similar fears mingling with the public on "Today" and the chance of overeager fans or crazy fanatics pulling a dangerous stunt. He admitted that keeping his guard up is simply part of the job.
"I'm out every morning in New York City doing our segments and very close to the public," the 41-year-old host revealed. "You have to keep your eyes open, and it's a shame that you have to worry about some knucklehead doing that. I'm glad that [Farsi] was found guilty and will get some sort of punishment, but Adam is fine and I think he handled it well."
Leave it to Levine's on-screen sparring partner, Blake Shelton, to add a touch of humor to the scary situation.
"I feel bad for the guy and that he went to jail - I did pay him 50 bucks," Shelton joked with reporters before getting serious. "It never ceases to amaze me how stupid people can be."
Farsi may might want to consider himself lucky that he attacked Levine instead Shelton, who says he probably wouldn't have acted as calmly as his fellow "Voice" judge did.
"I would've been the guy kicking him in the nuts or hitting him in the head with a rock," the country superstar said. "I would have definitely stooped to that guy's level, so I'm glad he didn't do it to me."
Shelton never feared for his friend despite the possible severity of the attack.
"I could pretty much tell that he was OK," he said. "When I saw the pictures of him with flour slammed across his face, it looked like he was still standing upright so I thought he was OK. I'm not worried about him."
Shelton and Levine will be back in their judges' chairs tonight on "The Voice at 8 p.m. EDT on NBC.
