Scheana Shay revealed that her husband, Brock Davies, had an affair when she was pregnant with their daughter, Summer Moon, in 2020.
The former Vanderpump Rules star shared an excerpt of her upcoming memoir, My Good Side, with Glamour.
“The Betrayal That Rewrote My Story:”
Scheana wrote about the doubts she had about ‘stable’ relationships post-Scandoval. Mix that with all the rumors of Brock cheating, Scheana was riddled with anxiety. Brock knew the news of his infidelity would come out, and wanted to be ahead of it.
“… 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.”
“He confessed that he’d cheated on me two years prior, when we were living in San Diego during the pandemic, while I was pregnant with Summer. I had spent so much time fighting off my anxiety and convincing myself that just because Tom cheated on Ariana didn’t mean Brock would ever cheat on me. Now I was finding out just how wrong I was.”
Scheana’s reaction:
“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.”
“Just when I thought my world had been rocked beyond anything I could have imagined, it was officially shattered into pieces—pieces I wasn’t sure I could put back together. I didn’t want to believe what he was telling me, and, oddly, I didn’t know how to react, either. I was so angry, so sad, and so hurt; those were givens.”
“If I screamed, I could wake up my daughter. Our daughter. His baby, whom I’d been carrying while he was in bed with another woman. Unable to contain my rage, I slapped him and threw a Rubik’s cube in his direction, which he dodged. To this day, every time I see a Rubik’s cube it triggers me, pulling me right back to this incredibly dark moment in my life.”
“Brock didn’t know what to say. What could he possibly say?”
Brock’s paramour:
“He’d done what he’d done, and it wasn’t going to go away or be swept under the rug. Still, I wanted details. I had to know who the woman was and why he’d so blatantly betrayed me, particularly during such a vulnerable period of my life.”
“He said that the woman was someone he had known since before we met. One day, while I was at home, pregnant with his child, Brock went to work at his gym, F45 Training East Hillcrest in San Diego, and he ran into her outside. After reconnecting, he said they began a brief affair.”
“I was a little confused because I’d always had his location and could have checked it at any time. How had I not caught them? But he also had a second phone for work, which I did know about but didn’t monitor. It turned out that was their sole form of communication. Nice, right?”
Author’s note … This, in my opinion, is why VPR jumped the shark. What’s a reality show if people aren’t willing to share their reality?
