Scheana Shay has lived a large part of her life in front of cameras — the highs, the heartbreaks, the glitter, the group texts — all of it playing out for millions of Vanderpump Rules fans over the years.
But some things, she held onto privately. Until now.
With her debut memoir My Good Side due later this month, the reality star is finally opening up about one of the most deeply personal chapters of her life: her husband Brock Davies' infidelity. An excerpt from the book, shared just days ahead of its official release, confirms that Davies had confessed to cheating — a moment Shay has never publicly addressed until now.
The choice to stay silent, she says, was intentional. Speaking on the July 4 episode of her Scheananigans podcast, the 40-year-old shared why she waited — and why she's ready now.
'There are a couple moments in this book that will really surprise people,' she told listeners. 'There's a lot about my past, my family, my earlier life experiences that I think the readers will be shocked by.'
Shay acknowledged that fans — many of whom have followed her since the early Bravo days — may feel like they already know her.
But what they've seen, she explained, is only part of the picture.
'You think you know everything about me,' she said. 'But after reading this book, you will — because you 100% do not right now. I can promise you that.'
In her words, the public knows about '80 percent' of her story. Between the show, her YouTube vlogs, and podcast episodes, she's shared a lot. But the rest — the quiet griefs, the unspoken doubts, the parts of herself that didn't make it into the edit — those pages have never been written.
Until this memoir.
While Shay didn't go into detail about Davies' affair during the podcast, it's clear that her decision to speak now wasn't easy — but it was hers to make. The book, she hinted, isn't about scandal or spectacle. It's about truth, told in her voice, in her time.
And after years of letting the world in, maybe this is the first time readers will really meet her — not just the version edited for TV or fit for a headline, but the woman who lived through all of it.
