Jesse Metcalfe Shrugs Off Scheana Shay’s Memoir Romp
Avery Sinclair here, ready to poke holes in another celebrity tale. Let’s not pretend excitement when it comes to yet another memoir flashback.
Another day, another star fights nostalgia – and this time it’s none other than Jesse Metcalfe reacting to his Vanderpump Rules alum ex, Scheana Shay, recounting a late-2000s fling in her new memoir My Good Side. In an exclusive chat with E! News at the 12th Annual Luxury Luncheon in Southampton hosted by Jill Zarin on July 26, Metcalfe made it crystal clear that he’s not exactly queuing up for a memoir tour. “I run into Scheana from time to time at events and stuff like that,” he said, adding that she’s “a super sweet girl,” but that her story “is not a story for me.”
At 46, the Desperate Housewives alum has been dating model Helene Immel since 2023 and insists this chapter of his dating life doesn’t need revisiting. When asked about his cameo in Scheana’s pages, he admitted, “I was like, ‘This again?’ It was a really, really long time ago.” And if you’re clutching your pearls over her claim that he once whisked her through Neiman Marcus and let her pick “whatever I wanted,” he’s equally hazy. “I don’t remember,” he quipped, immediately deflating that little shopping spree anecdote.
Scheana, now 40 and juggling motherhood with husband Brock Davies, is unashamedly detailed in her memoir – from family dinners at Metcalfe’s parents’ home to private guitar serenades of “Hey There Delilah.” According to her, it felt like living a “real-life fantasy” with a screen idol. But don’t expect Jesse to relive every chord or couture impulse.
He’s the picture of nonchalance, highlighting that while the fling might deserve its own chapter in a tell-all, it’s not exactly headline news for him anymore. Their cordial ex-status means casual hellos at industry events, not late-night phone calls or public defenses. Sources confirm that Scheana’s memoir pages have sparked chatter across reality-TV circles, but Metcalfe’s stance is clear: he’s moved on, both on and off the page.
So what’s the takeaway? When your ex pens a tell-all, opt for a polite shrug and a cleverly timed quip – that’s celebrity survival 101.
And that is today’s dose of reality. You’re welcome.
