Scheana Shay reveals husband Brock Davies cheated on her while she was pregnant
Scheana Shay revealed her husband, Brock Davies, cheated on her while she was pregnant with their daughter, Summer Moon. The 'Vanderpump Rules' star said Davies admitted to his affair around the time he was rumored to be sleeping with her former co-star Raquel Leviss in 2023, according to an excerpt from her upcoming memoir, 'My Good Side,' and obtained by Glamour. She explained that, after an 'amazing day' with her family, they sat down to watch the latest episode of 'The Real Housewives of New Jersey,' before he asked her to 'put down the remote.' 'Brock said that with all of the fake news being published, he was afraid that something that actually was true might surface, and it was best that I heard it directly from him,' she wrote, referencing the rumors surrounding his friendship with Leviss. 'My whole body froze, and I remained in a state of paralyzed shock as he confessed that he'd cheated on me two years prior, when we were living in San Diego during the [COVID-19] pandemic, while I was pregnant with Summer. '… As I sat there, feeling completely sick to my stomach, he admitted that — at the time — he was scared about being a father again, specifically about whether he even deserved to be, and he chose to deal with it by sleeping with someone else. 'I use the word 'chose' because it was very much a conscious decision. No one twisted his arm or dragged him into bed.' Shay, 40, described feeling a 'deep fury bubbling inside of [her]' that she 'couldn't release,' saying that she avoided screaming to avoid waking up their daughter. 'Our daughter,' she said. 'His baby, whom I'd been carrying while he was in bed with another woman. I stood up and started pacing back and forth, fuming, and feeling like I might throw up.' However, the Bravolebrity lost control of her emotions and slapped Davies across the face before throwing a Rubik's cube at him, 'which he dodged.' According to Davies, the woman he cheated with was someone he had known before dating Shay and had recently reconnected with. Shay described not understanding how he cheated on her because he had shared his location with her. However, she found out that he had a second cell phone for his gym business, which became the main communication line between him and the other woman. That same night, Davies handed Shay a letter he had written in 2022 — a year before he confessed — where he revealed how many times he and the woman had slept together and the places they had intercourse. Davies, who has two children from a previous marriage, wrote the letter after 'he realized he was throwing his second chance at a family away by stepping out.' He also 'swore to himself that he would never betray [Shay] again.' 'Once I'd read it, that was more than enough,' Shay continued. 'I told him to immediately toss it into the fire. I never wanted to set eyes on those words again.' Before giving birth to Summer in April 2021, Shay experienced a miscarriage the prior year. The couple, who got engaged in 2021, secretly tied the knot in 2022 before hosting a larger celebration in Mexico the following year. 'My Good Side,' which also touches on Shay's affair with Eddie Cibriani while he was married to Brandi Glanville, is available for purchase on July 22. Solve the daily Crossword

Scheana Shay makes rare confession about Eddie Cibrian affair and their ‘weekly booty calls'
Scheana Shay made a rare comment about her affair with then-married actor Eddie Cibrian. The 'Vanderpump Rules' alum recalled exactly how she fell for Cibrian, who was married to 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' star Brandi Glanville, when she began working at a private member's cigar lounge and restaurant in Beverly Hills, Calif., in 2006. 'I first laid eyes on Eddie Cibrian a few months later, when he stepped off the elevator at the cigar lounge, where he played poker on Tuesday nights,' she writes in an excerpt from her forthcoming memoir, 'My Good Side,' per Entertainment Weekly. 'If you were to ask me when I was growing up what my exact type was, to a tee it was Eddie—tall, dark, and handsome, with dimples. The second we made eye contact, he smiled at me with those dimples, and I melted.' The reality star, 40, said her 'relationship' with Cibrian, 52, 'wasn't romantic from the jump, though the writing was on the wall from day one.' 'Eddie was the sweetest, funniest, most charismatic, consummate gentleman I'd ever met. He always made me feel like I was the only girl in the room when I was working,' she gushed in the book. 'Whereas most of the other patrons at the cigar lounge just wanted me to serve them their drinks and leave them to play poker, Eddie made a concerted effort to make eye contact with me.' Shay claimed she 'didn't realize' the 'Sunset Beach' alum was married because he allegedly 'never wore a wedding ring' and their fling 'was pre–social media.' 'So it wasn't like he was posting pics of his family in matching pajamas in front of a Christmas tree,' she wrote. Shay said Cibrian 'wasn't [her] boyfriend (at least not exclusively),' but they started a physical relationship at the end of 2006, which she labeled 'a weekly booty call' at her house after his poker games. The 'Valley' star then claimed her perfect romance with Cibrian started to unravel when one of the cigar lounge members told her the 'LeAnn & Eddie' alum was married. 'I didn't believe it (or maybe I didn't want to believe it) because I was wild about Eddie,' she shared. 'And, again, we were out together all the time in public, so I didn't feel like some secret mistress! Still, I was freaking out and had a massive pit in my stomach.' Sha then confronted Cibrian about his double life at the cigar lounge. 'As predicted, Eddie showed up and, immediately, he could tell that my energy was off. He asked me what was going on, and I told him to check his phone. I'd sent him a message saying, 'I have to ask, before we hang out tonight, does something belong on your ring finger?'' she recalled. 'I didn't want to come across as aggressive or have him think I was acting crazy, since I didn't know if it was true, and also because my inherent people-pleasing tendencies were in full force.' Shay detailed that she directly asked Cibrian if he was married, to which he replied, 'No, that's insane. Why would you ask me that?' 'It was gaslighting in its most basic form. Yet, I trusted him, so we continued hanging out,' she wrote. Page Six has reached out to both Glanville and Cibrian for comment but did not immediately hear back. Her comments on their affair seemingly contradict what she told 'Access Hollywood' back in 2009 when their transgression was exposed. She alleged at the time that it was her mom who informed her that Cibrian was married after seeing in a newspaper that he and Glanville were expecting their second child in 2007. Though they allegedly stopped seeing each other then, they rekindled their romance months later when Cibrian claimed to her that he and Glanville had separated. 'I just wanted to believe what he was saying,' she told the outlet at the time. 'I was just kind of like, 'Don't ask, don't tell.' Whatever, let's have a great summer. When you're with me, you're with me. When you're not, we'll just do our own thing.' She also noted, however, that Cibrian always went back home to Glanville and the kids at the end of the night. 'I always wanted him to be just mine. But I knew that there was something else,' she admitted at the time. Cibrian was married to Glanville, also 52, from 2001 to 2010. The exes share sons Mason, 22, and Jake, 18. Shay wasn't the only woman the 'Third Watch' actor had a romantic relationship with during his marriage to the former Bravo star. He also began seeing LeAnn Rimes while he was still married to Glanville. After they divorced, Cibrian and the 'Blue' singer, 42, tied the knot in 2011. 'My Good Side' will be released on July 22.

Scheana Shay says husband Brock Davies' cheating was ‘karma' for Eddie Cibrian affair
Brock Davies cheated on Scheana Shay — and she'll be the first to admit that her husband's infidelity 'really felt like … karma.' The 'Vanderpump Rules' alum reflected on her own affair in 2006 with then-married Eddie Cibrian while discussing Davies' scandal with Us Weekly in an interview published Wednesday. 'Did I deserve [to be cheated on]?' Shay, 40, asked. 'No, but I told myself that I did.' The reality star noted that she has worn a 'scarlet letter for so long' and is regularly called a 'home-wrecking whore' online for her past relationship with Cibrian. Shay defended herself for being the actor's 'booty call' while he was married to Brandi Glanville, explaining, 'I was lied to by a 33-year-old man when I was 21, fresh out of college. I feel like people tend to forget that. 'Looking back, were there red flags? Absolutely,' she continued. 'I was leading with my heart and not my brain.' The Bravolebrity does, however, 'regret opening up to the media about' her time with the now-52-year-old 'Sunset Beach' alum, which she called an 'extremely immature and extremely irresponsible' choice. 'I wasn't thinking about his wife and toddlers at home,' she admitted. 'People like to say that I make everything about me — this was an instance where I was only thinking about myself.' Shay noted, 'Lo and behold, look what my husband did to me.' The 'Valley' star revealed last week in an excerpt of her upcoming memoir, 'My Good Side,' that Davies had an affair while she was pregnant with their daughter, Summer, in 2021. The 35-year-old did not tell Shay about his betrayal until Tom Sandoval's cheating scandal went viral two years later — and Shay 'went back and forth' about including it in her book. 'It started as absolutely not,' she explained to Us Weekly. 'It was an eight-month conversation. After several therapy sessions and really talking about it, we decided that this book would be inauthentic if we didn't put it all in.' Shay clarified that she and Davies were 'both … a little bit' on the fence. Nevertheless, she decided, 'I'd rather it come out in my words because, unfortunately, there was another person involved in this situation, and at any point in time, she could come forward.' The woman, who has not been identified, was someone Davies knew previously and reconnected with at a F45 gym. Shay '100 percent without a doubt would have left' her partner over the indiscretion if they did not have a 4-year-old. Her forgiveness has taken therapy and 'work every single day,' with Shay deciding she 'can't let [Davies'] past define' him and make him 'wear that for the rest of his life.' She continued, 'I will forever have insecurities. Just the other day, I saw him swipe and delete a text, and I'm like, 'What was that?' … But I genuinely believe he would never do anything like that again.' The couple, who have been married since 2022, are now 'slowly taking steps' to expand their family via surrogacy. Solve the daily Crossword

Vanderpump Rules Star Scheana Shay Reflects on Ex Brock Davies' Affair, Reveals She Did Not Confide in Ariana Madix
The Vanderpump Rules fame Scheana Shay opened up about one of her heartbreak moments. The reality TV star, in her memoir, My Good Side, revealed why she could confide in her best friend, Ariana Madix, about her ex, Brock Davies, cheating on her. Shay claimed that the word almost slipped out of her mouth, but she covered it up. In an excerpt of her book, Shay stated that she did not want Madix to be concerned about her, as the latter was already dealing with the Scandoval. Scheana Shay's big revelation about Brock Davies' affair Shay's memoir, which will be released on July 22, has got all the details about her trauma after her ex, Davies, cheated on her. Ahead of the book launch, the reality TV star sat down for an interview with US Weekly and revealed how she almost told Madix about Brock's affair. 'It was on the tip of my tongue,' said Shay. She further added, 'I didn't want to trauma dump on her when she had her own trauma.' Scheana was referring to Madix dealing with Tom Sandoval's cheating scandal, where he slept with his fellow housemate, Rachel Leviss, while being in a nine-year relationship with the Love Island host. Further in her conversation with the media portal, the reality TV star shared, '[People like] to say I always make everything about myself. This is a prime example of how I actually don't do that, because I cared more about her well-being and her mental health than my own, as much as I wanted her to be able to be there for me.' Moreover, Shay claimed that at the time she did not even know what the future held for her and Davies, considering they share a daughter together. She explained, 'I felt like if I told friends or [even] my mom, that they may persuade me to leave because 'once a cheater, always a cheater.' I didn't want to do what others would tell me to do. I wanted to really figure that out for myself and for Summer.' Meanwhile, Scheana Shay claimed that she hoped for a conversation with Ariana Madix, which never happened on the show, to happen off camera.

This 'Vanderpump Rules' star had a secret to rival 'Scandoval'
Before the Coldplay concert kiss cam, and before brassy Brat summer, a different kind of scandalous, salacious story captured the internet's attention: "Scandoval." A head-scratching affair between Tom Sandoval and Rachel (formerly Raquel) Leviss during Season 10 of Bravo's "Vanderpump Rules" in 2023 tore the cast apart. One of said Bravo-lebrities, Scheana Shay, was best friends with Sandoval's girlfriend at the time, Ariana Madix. The gang grew recognizable overnight. Hero and villain narratives sprouted like giant beanstalks. Anyone who dared challenge the prevailing narrative faced the wrath of a ravenous cancel culture. So when Shay showed Sandoval friendship the season after the Tom/Rachel/Ariana mess, viewers raised eyebrows. What kind of friend makes nice with the man who broke her friend's heart? Shay shares her side of the story in "My Good Side" (out now from Grand Central Publishing), which traces the Californian's childhood to her relationship with actor Eddie Cibrian and of course, her "Vanderpump Rules" trials and tribulations. But like any reality TV story, all is not what it seems. "I have always felt a calling to just share my lived experiences with the world, and I think that's why I love doing reality TV," Shay tells USA TODAY over a video call from New York. "But with doing reality TV, you only see one side. You only see parts of me, and this book shows all of me, the good side, the other side and everything in between." Scheana Shay says 'I didn't deserve the betrayal or the labels' Shay began her "Vanderpump Rules" journey as a Los Angeles waitress who dated Cibrian while he was married to "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" cast member Brandi Glanville. (Cibrian is currently married to singer LeAnn Rimes.) Shay claims Cibrian gaslit her, insisting he wasn't married at the time. "I do wish that I questioned it more," Shay says. "That would have saved me a lot of heartache and embarrassment." Much like Hester Prynne, she said she felt the world slapped a big "scarlet letter" across her. Now, Shay dusts her shoulders off. "I didn't deserve the betrayal or the labels, and I feel like I'm finally done carrying shame that isn't mine," she adds. The reality star faced many heartbreaks in her life, from a friend's death by suicide to a miscarriage to the traumatic birth of her now 4-year-old daughter Summer Moon. Shay was diagnosed with preeclampsia and later HELLP syndrome (hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, low platelet count) and later postpartum obsessive compulsive disorder. She shares her daughter with husband Brock Davies, who dealt her yet another heartbreak. Scheana Shay finds 'strength in staying' and 'strength in leaving' after cheating Shay revealed toward the end of her memoir that in the wake of "Scandoval," Davies admitted cheating on her two years earlier while she was pregnant. Yes, reality shows give us an inside look at people's lives, but Shay chose to keep the truth about her marriage from nearly everyone while filming of Season 11. "I don't think our marriage was in a place where it could have survived that on that season," she says. "I'm glad that I kept that to myself for as long as I did, because it gave us a chance to really work on our marriage, for us, not for anyone else or anyone else's opinions." Shay walked a difficult tightrope: Should she support Ariana Madix full-stop, only later to seem like a hypocrite when news of her own relationship drama broke? Should she tell all and be slammed with opportunist accusations? Or should she try to play both sides? Madix "had every right to carry that narrative out. The focus needed to be on her. I also was still processing what I was going through. I was being very thoughtful about my daughter and how this could affect her, and I felt like at the time, I was not ready to open up about this," Shay says. Shay found strength in forgiveness: "I feel like there's strength in staying, there's strength in leaving and I needed to make the decision that was going to be best for my family and figure out if I'm capable of forgiveness." "As crazy as it sounds, I do trust him again, and I genuinely believe – and I'm sure people will say I'm naive – but I genuinely believe that he would never do this again, because he knows I would light him on fire and kick him out of the house." Scheana Shay believes in 'not letting your past define your future' Shay's manager introduced her to kintsugi, a Japanese art that pieces broken pottery back together using special gold paste to create something new and whole. Her single, "Good as Gold," is a nod to the practice and holds a deeper meaning about embracing our humanity. It's the ethos of her book: "turning pain into strength, scars into stories, and not letting your past define your future." Her future includes her podcast and YouTube channel, and perhaps a bigger role on "Vanderpump Rules" spinoff "The Valley," where she recurs. The original series will include a new cast for upcoming Season 12. If audiences learned anything, though, never count out a Scheana-ssance. "Whatever show it is, I will be on your TV screens," she says. "Not going anywhere."
