Inside Scheana Shay’s “Karma” Take on Brock Davies’ Affair
Let’s cut to the chase: Vanderpump Rules star Scheana Shay has shared why her husband’s 2020 infidelity felt like karmic payback. In an interview with Us Weekly published July 16, the 40-year-old reality alum and singer admitted that when Brock Davies cheated on her during her pregnancy with daughter Summer Moon, it stung—but also triggered a sense of poetic justice. “Did I deserve for him to cheat on me? No, but I told myself that I did,” Scheana said, pointing to her own history of a high-profile affair more than a decade earlier.
Scheana’s revelation comes four years after Brock’s betrayal, yet she concedes the wound still demands daily attention. She describes wrestling with insecurity at a moment as mundane as seeing him swipe and delete a text message. Despite instinctive suspicion, she maintains faith in his commitment, leaning on couples therapy and unfiltered communication to rebuild trust. “I will forever have insecurities,” she acknowledged to Us Weekly. “But I genuinely believe he would never do anything like that again. I do trust him. I have forgiven him.” Her goal, she explains, is to prove that a partner’s past failings need not doom a shared future.
By turning the lens inward, Scheana also revisited her own scandal: the years she spent involved with actor Eddie Cibrian while he was married to Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Brandi Glanville. Although fans have long dubbed her a “home-wrecking whore” in online comments, Scheana insists that Cibrian was the true deceiver. “He is the one who lied,” she noted. “I was fresh out of college at 21, led with my heart not my brain,” she said, admitting that red flags were there if she had looked harder.
These candid confessions appear in Scheana’s forthcoming memoir, My Good Side, due July 22. After countless therapy sessions and frank discussions with Brock, the pair decided the book would ring hollow without addressing both spouses’ mistakes. “I have a voice and I want to use it,” she said, promising authenticity down to the last page. She credits this tougher, wiser version of herself for refusing to remain silent about love and betrayal.
Fans of Vanderpump Rules may recall that Scheana’s affair with Cibrian ignited the very spin-off that made her a household name—when Cibrian’s wife Brandi Glanville confronted the pair at Lisa Vanderpump’s restaurant SUR. That moment not only shook Brandi and Eddie’s marriage but also set the stage for one of Bravo’s biggest series.
That’s the scoop, judge for yourself.
