Scheana Shay Explains Why She Kept Brock Davies’ Affair a Secret — Until Now
Reality star and Vanderpump Rules alum Scheana Shay is no stranger to public scrutiny, but in her deeply personal new memoir My Good Side (out July 22), she's finally sharing the raw, unfiltered version of her truth — including the devastating revelation that her husband, Brock Davies, had an affair while she was pregnant with their daughter, Summer Moon.
In a surprising and emotional twist, Scheana reveals in the book that she chose to remain silent about the betrayal for years. Now, she’s pulling back the curtain on one of the most painful chapters of her life — and offering insight into why she kept it all a secret.
📝 “In My Book, I Get to Make It About Me”
On the July 4 episode of her Scheananigans podcast, Shay, 40, teased that My Good Side contains “a couple moments that will really surprise people.”
“There’s a lot about my past, my family, my earlier life experiences that I think the readers will be shocked by,” she said. “People think they know everything about me — but you 100% do not right now. I can promise you that.”
She emphasized how different platforms — reality TV, her podcast, social media — only give fans about “80%” of who she is. “The book will give you the rest,” she said. “In my book, I get to make it about me, and you’ll hear sides of my story that I have never shared.”
That includes her reasons for staying quiet about Brock Davies’ infidelity — not just from the public, but from Vanderpump Rules viewers and fans of her podcast.
💔 The Affair That Shook Her World
In an excerpt published by Glamour on July 10, Scheana recounts the gut-wrenching moment Brock confessed his affair. It happened two years before the public found out — during the COVID-19 pandemic, while she was pregnant and they were living in San Diego.
“I remained in a state of paralyzed shock as he confessed that he’d cheated on me… while I was pregnant with Summer,” Shay wrote. “I felt completely sick to my stomach.”
According to the memoir, Brock explained he was battling anxiety about becoming a father again and questioned whether he deserved to be one — emotions he sadly responded to by beginning a short-lived affair with a woman he had known before he met Scheana.
“I use the word ‘chose’ because it was very much a conscious decision,” she writes. “No one twisted his arm or dragged him into bed.”
🧠 Why She Stayed Silent — Until Now
So why didn’t she speak up sooner?
Scheana admits she was afraid of being judged, misunderstood, or accused of “making it about herself,” especially during the aftermath of the infamous Tom Sandoval and Rachel (Raquel) Leviss cheating scandal in 2023.
“If I tell people what I’m actually going through, then they’re gonna think that I’m trying to take the attention off what someone else is going through and make it about me,” she shared on her podcast.
That fear of public perception — particularly the label of being “self-centered” — caused her to hold back on both the show and her podcast. But writing My Good Side finally gave her the power to share her story on her terms, with no edits and no judgment.
👶 Parenthood, Pain, and Moving Forward
Scheana and Brock welcomed their daughter, Summer Moon, in April 2021 and tied the knot in a romantic Cancun wedding in August 2022. From the outside, their relationship seemed like a love story that blossomed after hardship — including Brock’s past estrangement from his children in Australia — but Shay now reveals that behind closed doors, the picture was far more complex.
In the book, she doesn’t just recount the betrayal — she reflects on the fear, the trust rebuild, and the difficult path to healing. It's not just a tell-all — it's a reckoning.
🕵️♀️ The Leviss Rumors
Following the Scandoval fallout, Scheana also reveals that she directly questioned Brock about Rachel Leviss, asking if he’d ever crossed a line with her. Brock denied any inappropriate behavior.
“I absolutely did question him,” she admitted on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen in 2023. “As much as I trust my husband, I don’t trust [Leviss].”
She said Brock maintained that he never put that kind of energy out — and she believed him.
📚 A Memoir About More Than Just Reality TV
While the affair is a headline-grabbing revelation, Scheana says My Good Side goes far beyond tabloid drama. It dives deep into her childhood, relationships, fame, motherhood, and her emotional evolution through the highs and lows of being in the public eye.
If you’ve only known her as the bubbly brunette from Vanderpump Rules, this book promises to change that perspective. It’s Scheana, unfiltered — with control over her own narrative for the first time.
