How Brock Davies Reacted to Scheana Shay's Memoir

Cosmopolitan25-07-2025
What's a guy to do when his reality TV star wife writes a memoir detailing how he cheated on her when she was carrying their child? Go on her podcast and tell his side of the story, obviously. During a July 25 appearance on the Scheananigans podcast, Brock Davies opened up about cheating on Scheana Shay, and revealed how he reacted to Scheana exposing his affair in her memoir, My Good Side.
Earlier this month, Scheana shocked fans with an excerpt from her new book, revealing that Brock had cheated on her in 2020 when she was pregnant with their daughter, Summer Moon. Per the excerpt, she didn't find out until he came clean in 2023, in the wake of Scandoval, and fans were able to deduce that the two had been able to patch things up, but no further details were released at the time.
Now that the book has finally hit the shelves, it's Brock's turn to tell his side of the story. 'It was a sexual affair. There was no dating. There was no courting. It was just purely that: Meet up and then we had sex,' he said on Scheananigans.
According to the former Vanderpump Rules star, he carried on this affair for three-weeks before breaking things off. 'I felt horrible about it,' he recounted, but, he said, he compartmentalized and once he decided to end the affair, he moved on. 'I believed I was never going to do it again and we could just move past this,' he said.
Now that he's had five years to process, Brock says that at the time he was 'scared of being a parent again'—he is also dad to two children, Eli and Winter, and at the time of Scheana's pregnancy, there were many reports on their strained relationship. 'I believed what I read. I believed I was a bad dad,' he continued, saying that he now believes he was using fear as a way to justify his actions and take 'an easy way out.'
As for why he kept it a secret for so long, Brock said he had no excuse. 'I was an absolute coward. That man was a coward,' he said. 'He wasn't thinking about protecting you, he was just thinking about protecting himself, saving face.'
So, when Scheana told Brock she wanted to write about the affair in her memoir, he supported her. 'When you came to me about the book and we had a conversation about it, at the end of the day, this was your story to tell,' he said. 'When you told me about it, I said, 'I support you, and then I will read it once you have written your book, because I don't want to have any influence on it.'

Scroll down for the full list of acts competing in the AGT quarter-finals (presented in the order they were announced by Terry Crews), then drop a comment with your thoughts. Which of these worthy contestants will get your vote when Season 20 finally goes live? Steve Ray Ladson (Week 1) The country singer auditioned with his original song 'Back of My Truck,' sending him through to the front of the line. B Unique Crew (Week 1) This head-turning (and occasionally head-detaching) dance crew nearly earned a Golden Buzzer on the final day of auditions. Loco Pop Familia (Week 1) After being called 'annoying' by Mel B, this cuddly dance crew has something to prove: 'We will show Mel B that America loves cats!' CitiLimitz (Week 1) This R&B trio charmed Mel B with a serenade — but can their harmonies win over the viewers at home? Phobias (Week 1) We're pretty sure the judges were too scared not to send this terrifying trio through to the live shows. Shuler King (Week 1) This funeral director-turned-comedian had the judges in stitches with a lively routine. Tom Sandoval & the Most Extras (Week 1) What #Scandoval? The former Vanderpump Rules star will be back to SUR-ve vocals in the live shows. Sirca Marea (Week 1) This married couple put everything on the line in their gravity- and death-defying audition. Light Wire (Week 1) This Brazilian act, which delivered what Simon Cowell called 'one of the most beautiful, stunning' performances he's seen on AGT, was the first Golden Buzzer recipient of the season. Charity Lockhart (Week 1) This musical mom struck a chord with the audience — and with Mel B, who gave Lockhart a Golden Buzzer. Jourdan Blue (Week 1) This New Orleans-based street singer — and his exceptional head of hair — made the most of his time on the AGT stage, winning a Golden Buzzer. Leo High School Choir (Week 2) This Chicago-based school group left a 'powerful' impression on Simon Cowell. Ben Hightower (Week 2) This Tennessee native traded his Military career for a shot at stardom, going viral with his performance of Chappell Roan's 'Pink Pony Club.' EDT Dance Team (Week 2) The death drop is a dangerous art, but this dance team has perfected it. Plus, who could say no to all that pink? Alain Simonov (Week 2) There's something 'mystical and sexy' about this 24-year-old magician, according to Sofia Vergara. Let's see if America agrees. Bay Melnick Virgolino (Week 2) This 10-year-old rocker could shred with the best of 'em, which he proved with his electrifying audition. Alex Zinger & Crew (Week 2) It didn't work out for him the first time, but Alex finally managed to dance his way into the judges' hearts in Season 20. Mama Duke (Week 2) 'Feels So Good' was one of the best original songs we've ever heard on the AGT stage, so it came as no surprise when it also shot to the top of the iTunes pop charts. Boston Dynamics (Week 2) We've seen plenty of animal acts on AGT. But robot dogs? That's a new one — and still weirdly cute. Jonglissimo (Week 2) Impressive juggling meets mind-blowing artistry when this one-of-a-kind Austrian act takes the stage. Duo Stardust (Week 2) Performing stunts while rolling around on skates is difficult enough — but this duo took it to the next level by adding acrobatics and pyrotechnics into the mix. Unreal (Week 2) This group came all the way from India to prove to their parents that they could make it as dancers — and make it they did (complete with a Golden Buzzer). Micah Palace (Week 3) This mega-viral Connecticut native managed to impress the judges with a single turntable, his mom's ironing board and a microphone. Maceo Harrison (Week 3) A member of the iconic Savannah Bananas, this dancer used every inch of the stage (and every last drop of his own energy) to leave the judges speechless. Mastermind (Week 3) Simon Cowell called his audition 'the best magic we've seen all year,' so it came as no surprise when he was revealed to be joining the live shows. Benn Family Band (Week 3) The judges still get emotional thinking about this family band, who displayed incredible resilience after losing their home in the recent Altadena fires. Anna Saranina (Week 3) A former member of Deadly Games, one of the most iconic AGT acts of all time, Anna returned to the stage solo at the behest of her young daughter. Austin Brown (Week 3) When his first audition didn't earn him the yeses he needed, this determined singer returned to the AGT stage for redemption — and he got it! Chris Turner (Week 3) This freestyle rapper made it through by spitting verses about Simon Cowell's grocery shopping habits. And we're sold! Girish and the Chronicles (Week 3) This Indian band blew the judges away with a rockin' remix of Adele's 'Set Fire to the Rain.' Jacqueline & Wagner (Week 3) This high-flying, wild-swinging couple is not to root for — while also crossing our fingers and toes that they don't fall to the ground. Messoudi Brothers (Week 3) Yes, these were the brothers who managed to undress and swap outfits… all while juggling enormous knives from across the stage. Jessica Sanchez (Week 3) A semifinalist from the show's first-ever season, Sanchez returned to AGT in a big way with her Golden Buzzer-winning performance of Benson Boone's 'Beautiful Things.' Team Recycled (Week 4) What began as a small group of dancers on stage quickly evolved into 'an event,' with performers appearing throughout the entire auditorium. Zak Mirz (Week 4) This endearing magician used his daughter's favorite things to create an impressive act the judges couldn't resist. Chuck Adams (Week 4) We've never heard the Goo Goo Dolls' 'Iris' sung quite like this before — and we mean that in the best way. Gendai (Week 4) Direct from Japan, this performer combines light and dance to create a truly unique experience. Cole Swensen & Judy (Week 4) We would have loved Swensen's performance of Coldplay's 'Viva La Vida' even if Swensen wasn't joined on the cello by his mom — but that did make us love it more. TT Boys (Week 4) These flippin' incredible acrobats have been performing together for 20 years, and it shows in their confident, undeniable connection. Crash Adams (Week 4) Already a viral sensation, this band found even more success after their audition; their original song 'Optimist' climbed the charts, surpassing the likes of Justin Bieber and Chappell Roan. Astrid Jorgensen (Week 4) This Australian vocalist managed to turn the AGT audience into a choir all its own, resulting in a surprisingly beautiful group performance of Toto's 'Africa.' The Funkateer Dancers (Week 4) This old-school Michigan foursome had everyone cheering for their fancy footwork — and had Terry Crews hitting his Golden Buzzer. Birmingham Youth Choir (Week 4) We're still feeling the joy from this gospel choir's Golden Buzzer-winning, Sister Act-inspired audition. The Boykinz (Week 4) Terry Crews hit his other Golden Buzzer for these sisters from Georgia, whose singing, dancing routine had everyone ready to giddy-up.

Scheana Shay's Book Reveals Huge List of A-List Hookups

'I said to myself, okay Scheana, you've tried dating (or at least hanging out and hooking up with) all of these celebrities — Jesse Metcalfe, Eddie Cibrian, John Mayer, Shemar Moore, Josh Hopkins, Shane West, Jesse McCartney, JC Chasez, Adrian Grenier, Ricardo Chavira, William Tell, two actors from The Notebook, and a few NFL, NBA, and MLB players, to name a few — and that's not really working out.

Scheana Shay Details 'Really Scary' Near-Death Experience While Giving Birth to Daughter Summer Moon

The reality TV star welcomed her daughter Summer Moon in April 2021NEED TO KNOW Scheana Shay is opening up about her "really scary" near-death birth experience The Vanderpump Rules star shared she had HELLP syndrome, a life-threatening pregnancy complication often considered a variant of preeclampsia Shay welcomed daughter Summer Moon in April 2021 with husband Brock DaviesScheana Shay is opening up about her "really scary" birth experience. While joining Not Skinny But Not Fat host Amanda Hirsch on her podcast to talk about her new memoir My Good Side, the Vanderpump Rules star, 40, spoke about everything from the biggest dramas on the hit Bravo show to her near-death birth experience. Shay, who's a mom to daughter Summer Moon, 4, discussed her "really scary" experience with HELLP syndrome (Hemolysis, Elevated Liver enzymes and Low Platelets), a rare pregnancy complication that mainly affects the blood and liver and can be fatal. "I was perfectly comfortable pregnant," Shay began, adding that she would have stayed pregnant for 11 months if she could have done that. However, Shay explained there was a caveat in waiting out her pregnancy. "I'm supposed to go back to work on whatever it was, like May 2 [or] May 3. And that date is not changing. So we can wait out the pregnancy, see a week or two weeks, but then I could be on camera and my water breaks." She went on to explain that she and her doctor both agreed that she needed as much time as possible to adjust to being a new mom before returning to work. Ultimately, they both decided to induce her around her 40-week appointment. "While I was in labor — about 15 hours in — they tell me I have preeclampsia, [and] they need to put me on this magnesium," she said. "It was so scary. I'm shaking uncontrollably. I'm like, oh my god. I'm killing my baby because I'm trying to force her out so I can film a TV show. What is wrong with me?" "Thank God they did induce me because what if I did just go into labor, and I had a stroke and died because we didn't have enough time to monitor my blood pressure and her heart rate," she said. "It could have gone so much worse if I wasn't being monitored for so long, so carefully." Shay shares her daughter with her husband Brock Davies, 35. In her new memoir My Good Side, Shay spoke about wanting to grow her family with her husband, following her experience giving birth naturally. Speaking exclusively to PEOPLE, Shay said that although she's not yet ready for another child, she intends to explore the surrogate route "eventually." "He and I have had several conversations about it, and you know what, if it just wasn't in the cards, that's okay, but we are going to explore the surrogate route eventually," she shared. "I froze my eggs seven years ago, so now he's just got to fertilize them."

"And one step at a time, I'm not ready for another baby just yet, and I want to enjoy more time with Summer before we have a baby and we're changing diapers and we're trying to travel," she continues. "And it is just going to change the entire dynamic of our little family unit." While Shay said she's "really happy" with how their family is now, she's open to reevaluating things after her daughter Summer begins kindergarten. "Even finding a surrogate, it's going to be a long process, so I'm open to it," she continued. "I would love for Summer to have a sibling. I'm just not there yet, but I'm ready to take the next steps soon after book tour. I need to just get through the book tour and then we can talk baby." Read the original article on People
