Scheana Shay The Men the Mistakes...and the Moments That Made Me

Her good side, her bad side... nothing is off limits for the Vanderpump Rules star in her new memoir and exclusive interview with Us -including hard truths about her marriage and a bombshell about her former boss

- by SARAH HEARON

For a decade on Vanderpump Rules, Scheana Shay let the world in on every Pumptini-laced detail of her life — at least it seemed that way. Turns out she was holding on to a secret: In 2023, while the world was obsessing over Scandoval (the franchise-shaking Tom Sandoval/Rachel Leviss/Ariana Madix cheating scandal), Shay learned that her husband, Brock Davies, 35, had been unfaithful while she was pregnant with their daughter, Summer, two years prior.

In her new book, My Good Side, Shay, 40, finally shares it all — and yes, she's aware that some fans will be quick to throw her past affair with a then-married Eddie Cibrian in her face. “It really felt like I got my karma,” Shay tells Us. “Did I deserve for [Brock to cheat on me]? No, but I told myself that I did.”

With the help of couple's therapy and solo sessions — Shay had an appointment scheduled right after her chat with Us — the Bravo star is owning her narrative. “I have a voice, and I want to use it. I am extremely proud of the woman I've become,” she says. “I am not that 21-year-old girl chasing boys around clubs anymore.” Now that VPR has wrapped — an entirely new cast premieres later this year — Shay talked to Us ahead of My Good Side’s July 22 debut, opening up about her decision to stay with Davies, what she'd change if she could and more.

What label or misconception about you has hurt the most over the years?

I have a new song called “Misunderstood,” where I [list] everything that people have called me: homewrecker, flip-flopper, disloyal... So many things are hurtful because they're not true. I am extremely loyal. I am a girl's girl. People don’t necessarily see that side of me because the girls I was on the show with weren't... the girls I would necessarily be loyal to and be a girl's girl around because they didn’t always treat me in a way that deserved that.
