Scheana Shay details ‘awkward' hook-up with TV star: ‘It was a one and done'
He did not drive her crazy. Scheana Shay doesn't have the fondest memories of her brief fling with TV heart-throb Adrian Grenier. 'I did not date him,' the Vanderpump Rules star first clarified of the Entourage actor in an exclusive interview with SiriusXM's Page Six Radio on Tuesday. 'It was a one-time, little thing at the Mondrian. A one and done. But, it wasn't fully done because it was just — it was a little awkward.' Shay said after the hook-up, she thought to herself, 'This is not Vinny Chase,' referencing Grenier's Entourage character, who was a suave and successful Hollywood actor. The Bravo star further explained that it was the actor's 'energy' that seemed off during their date, adding, 'We were not on the same wavelength.' She shared that he tried talking to her about a band he is in with his brothers and showed her one of their music videos, but it 'wasn't really [her] vibe.' Grenier, 49, is one of nearly a dozen celebs Shay had romances with, as she reveals in her memoir, My Good Side. She writes in the book, '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.' Prior to her memoir's release, Shay, 40, had been outspoken about her past dalliance with Mayer, 47. However, the Your Body Is a Wonderland crooner reportedly tried to deny it to pal Andy Cohen. 'I mean, I'm sure John doesn't love being a storyline on VPR,' Shay said in response on her Scheananigans podcast in April 2024 before pointing out that she doubted his denial was even true. 'But where did he deny this? Because I'm pretty sure it was the Sun who made that claim. It looks like they just made this up.' Aside from juicy hook-up revelations, Shay's new book also exposes shocking details about her life. The Valley star discloses in it that her husband, Aussie trainer Brock Davies, had an affair when she was pregnant.

Scheana Shay reveals bombshell list of her Hollywood hookups, including two boy-band heartthrobs, ‘The Notebook' actors and more
She's kissing and telling. Scheana Shay's bombshell list of stars she has allegedly hooked up ranges from Hollywood stars and boy-band heartthrobs to NFL, NBA and MLB athletes. 'I said to myself, 'Okay Scheana, you've tried dating (or at least hanging out and hooking up with) all of these celebrities,'' she wrote in her new memoir, 'My Good Side,' which came out Tuesday. '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,' the 'Vanderpump Rules' alum added. Shay, 40, said she realized she needed to take a break from dating famous men. 'It's time to switch things up and date someone who's under the radar: I didn't want any of the fanfare or complications that came with being linked to someone famous,' she wrote. 'I wanted to be with someone who was grounded.' Elsewhere in her book, Shay made a rare comment about her affair with then-married Cibrian. 'I first laid eyes on Eddie Cibrian a few months later, when he stepped off the elevator at the cigar lounge, where he played poker on Tuesday nights,' she wrote about the 'Sunset Beach' actor, who was married to 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' alum Brandi Glanville from 2001 to 2010. 'If you were to ask me when I was growing up what my exact type was, to a tee it was Eddie—tall, dark, and handsome, with dimples. The second we made eye contact, he smiled at me with those dimples, and I melted.' The Bravolebrity claimed she 'didn't realize' Cibrian, 52, was married because he allegedly 'never wore a wedding ring' and their fling 'was pre-social media.' Shay said the 'Best Man Holiday' star 'wasn't [her] boyfriend (at least not exclusively)' and they started a physical relationship at the end of 2006, which she labeled 'a weekly booty call' at her house after his poker games. Additionally, the reality TV star revealed in her memoir that her husband, Brock Davies, cheated on her when she was pregnant with their daughter, Summer Moon. The mom of one told Us Weekly earlier this month that she believed her husband's affair was 'karma' for her sleeping with Cibrian. 'My Good Side' is now available for purchase.

Vanderpump Rules Star Scheana Shay Reflects on Ex Brock Davies' Affair, Reveals She Did Not Confide in Ariana Madix
The Vanderpump Rules fame Scheana Shay opened up about one of her heartbreak moments. The reality TV star, in her memoir, My Good Side, revealed why she could confide in her best friend, Ariana Madix, about her ex, Brock Davies, cheating on her. Shay claimed that the word almost slipped out of her mouth, but she covered it up. In an excerpt of her book, Shay stated that she did not want Madix to be concerned about her, as the latter was already dealing with the Scandoval. Scheana Shay's big revelation about Brock Davies' affair Shay's memoir, which will be released on July 22, has got all the details about her trauma after her ex, Davies, cheated on her. Ahead of the book launch, the reality TV star sat down for an interview with US Weekly and revealed how she almost told Madix about Brock's affair. 'It was on the tip of my tongue,' said Shay. She further added, 'I didn't want to trauma dump on her when she had her own trauma.' Scheana was referring to Madix dealing with Tom Sandoval's cheating scandal, where he slept with his fellow housemate, Rachel Leviss, while being in a nine-year relationship with the Love Island host. Further in her conversation with the media portal, the reality TV star shared, '[People like] to say I always make everything about myself. This is a prime example of how I actually don't do that, because I cared more about her well-being and her mental health than my own, as much as I wanted her to be able to be there for me.' Moreover, Shay claimed that at the time she did not even know what the future held for her and Davies, considering they share a daughter together. She explained, 'I felt like if I told friends or [even] my mom, that they may persuade me to leave because 'once a cheater, always a cheater.' I didn't want to do what others would tell me to do. I wanted to really figure that out for myself and for Summer.' Meanwhile, Scheana Shay claimed that she hoped for a conversation with Ariana Madix, which never happened on the show, to happen off camera.

This 'Vanderpump Rules' star had a secret to rival 'Scandoval'
Before the Coldplay concert kiss cam, and before brassy Brat summer, a different kind of scandalous, salacious story captured the internet's attention: "Scandoval." A head-scratching affair between Tom Sandoval and Rachel (formerly Raquel) Leviss during Season 10 of Bravo's "Vanderpump Rules" in 2023 tore the cast apart. One of said Bravo-lebrities, Scheana Shay, was best friends with Sandoval's girlfriend at the time, Ariana Madix. The gang grew recognizable overnight. Hero and villain narratives sprouted like giant beanstalks. Anyone who dared challenge the prevailing narrative faced the wrath of a ravenous cancel culture. So when Shay showed Sandoval friendship the season after the Tom/Rachel/Ariana mess, viewers raised eyebrows. What kind of friend makes nice with the man who broke her friend's heart? Shay shares her side of the story in "My Good Side" (out now from Grand Central Publishing), which traces the Californian's childhood to her relationship with actor Eddie Cibrian and of course, her "Vanderpump Rules" trials and tribulations. But like any reality TV story, all is not what it seems. "I have always felt a calling to just share my lived experiences with the world, and I think that's why I love doing reality TV," Shay tells USA TODAY over a video call from New York. "But with doing reality TV, you only see one side. You only see parts of me, and this book shows all of me, the good side, the other side and everything in between." Scheana Shay says 'I didn't deserve the betrayal or the labels' Shay began her "Vanderpump Rules" journey as a Los Angeles waitress who dated Cibrian while he was married to "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" cast member Brandi Glanville. (Cibrian is currently married to singer LeAnn Rimes.) Shay claims Cibrian gaslit her, insisting he wasn't married at the time. "I do wish that I questioned it more," Shay says. "That would have saved me a lot of heartache and embarrassment." Much like Hester Prynne, she said she felt the world slapped a big "scarlet letter" across her. Now, Shay dusts her shoulders off. "I didn't deserve the betrayal or the labels, and I feel like I'm finally done carrying shame that isn't mine," she adds. The reality star faced many heartbreaks in her life, from a friend's death by suicide to a miscarriage to the traumatic birth of her now 4-year-old daughter Summer Moon. Shay was diagnosed with preeclampsia and later HELLP syndrome (hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, low platelet count) and later postpartum obsessive compulsive disorder. She shares her daughter with husband Brock Davies, who dealt her yet another heartbreak. Scheana Shay finds 'strength in staying' and 'strength in leaving' after cheating Shay revealed toward the end of her memoir that in the wake of "Scandoval," Davies admitted cheating on her two years earlier while she was pregnant. Yes, reality shows give us an inside look at people's lives, but Shay chose to keep the truth about her marriage from nearly everyone while filming of Season 11. "I don't think our marriage was in a place where it could have survived that on that season," she says. "I'm glad that I kept that to myself for as long as I did, because it gave us a chance to really work on our marriage, for us, not for anyone else or anyone else's opinions." Shay walked a difficult tightrope: Should she support Ariana Madix full-stop, only later to seem like a hypocrite when news of her own relationship drama broke? Should she tell all and be slammed with opportunist accusations? Or should she try to play both sides? Madix "had every right to carry that narrative out. The focus needed to be on her. I also was still processing what I was going through. I was being very thoughtful about my daughter and how this could affect her, and I felt like at the time, I was not ready to open up about this," Shay says. Shay found strength in forgiveness: "I feel like there's strength in staying, there's strength in leaving and I needed to make the decision that was going to be best for my family and figure out if I'm capable of forgiveness." "As crazy as it sounds, I do trust him again, and I genuinely believe – and I'm sure people will say I'm naive – but I genuinely believe that he would never do this again, because he knows I would light him on fire and kick him out of the house." Scheana Shay believes in 'not letting your past define your future' Shay's manager introduced her to kintsugi, a Japanese art that pieces broken pottery back together using special gold paste to create something new and whole. Her single, "Good as Gold," is a nod to the practice and holds a deeper meaning about embracing our humanity. It's the ethos of her book: "turning pain into strength, scars into stories, and not letting your past define your future." Her future includes her podcast and YouTube channel, and perhaps a bigger role on "Vanderpump Rules" spinoff "The Valley," where she recurs. The original series will include a new cast for upcoming Season 12. If audiences learned anything, though, never count out a Scheana-ssance. "Whatever show it is, I will be on your TV screens," she says. "Not going anywhere."

Scheana Shay says Lisa Vanderpump gaslit her to 'launch her TV empire'
Scheana Shay has accused Lisa Vanderpump of 'gaslighting' her for over a decade ahead of the release of her upcoming memoir My Good Side. The TV personality, 40, worked for the restaurateur in the Bravo series Vanderpump Rules which she starred in for 11 seasons. However, earlier this year in January, the mom-of-one announced her new book and promised to spill the 'tea' on Lisa. Scheana also gets candid about her 2006 affair with Eddie Cibrian - when he was still married to Brandi Glanville. While on the topic, she also alleges that Lisa knew more about the situation than she initially disclosed. 'We all saw it play out on the show when I went up to her and she acts shocked that I was working her party with this guy's ex-wife who I used to date because I didn't know he was married,' she told Us Weekly for a new cover story. Scheana was referencing to her appearance in past episodes of The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills - and claimed Lisa purposefully put her and Brandi together on screen in order to 'launch her TV empire'. has reached out to Scheana and Lisa's reps for comment. Scheana said: 'Up until about six months ago, that was the truth that I knew because that's what she told me. 'Now, I feel like she low-key used my real-life pain to launch her TV empire - and what an empire she has.' Scheana further alleged that it was difficult for her to believe that Lisa had no knowledge of the affair. 'I vividly remember when photos leaked of Eddie and I, there was a magazine being passed around the kitchen at Villa Blanca,' she explained, referencing Lisa's former restaurant. 'She gaslit me about it for a decade instead of just coming to me in the beginning. She doesn't make mistakes. She makes moves and then calls them coincidences.' Scheana later expressed that she wished the RHOBH star had been 'transparent' with her and admitted she 'always looked up to Lisa'. 'I've always admired her. Now I'm like, "Did I admire her out of fear?" I guess I would've just like to have agency in my own story.' But Scheana explained to the publication that their friendship allegedly began to cripple years after she had been cast in VPR. 'On season 6 of VPR, when James Kennedy told Katie Maloney that the outfit she was wearing wasn't flattering, I got a phone call from Lisa.' 'She didn't want to fire James, so she needed someone to stand up for him [at a staff meeting]. 'If you go back and watch, I'm getting a death stare from Lisa, like, "When are you going to speak up? When are you going to stick to the script?" That's when I stopped following her orders, and I feel like the relationship changed after that.' Earlier this year in January, Scheana announced her memoir and revealed that she would not hold back when it comes to her relationship with Lisa. And in May, Lisa broke her own silence on Scheana's comments during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen. She said: 'Oh good Lord. Well, that's probably just to sell the book because she hasn't got anything else to say. 'Do you know what? I don't know, I've heard she's said some nasty things. Something nasty recently she said something like, I only call her when I need something. True dat, right? 'I've got 600 people I work with. I think the last time I needed her was when I invited her to my house to Teddy's birthday. So yes, that's when I called her.' In her memoir - which hits shelves on July 22 - she also made a startling admission about her affair with Eddie. Scheana previously revealed that she carried on a relationship with the 52-year-old actor years ago without realizing he was married at the time. And in an excerpt that was obtained by Entertainment Weekly, she admitted that her judgment was compromised when she was younger, as she never noticed 'a single red flag' with him. According to Scheana, she had just moved to Los Angeles in May of 2006 after graduating from Azusa Pacific University. The future TV star, who was only 21 at the time, wrote that she hoped to 'make a name for myself in the entertainment industry, whether that was as an actress, a TV host, or a news reporter'. Fortuitously, she met a real-life star with some success shortly after she got a job at a 'private member's cigar lounge' that doubled as a restaurant that was regularly filled with 'every A-list celebrity, director, writer, and actor' around. A few months into the job, she allegedly met Eddie at a Tuesday night poker game, and she claimed he returned weekly for the game. At the time, he was married to former Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills star Brandi, whom he wed in 2001 and divorced in 2010. Scheana claimed that her connection to Eddie grew slowly over time, but she felt there was a spark right from the start. The idea that Eddie could be married at the time doesn't seem to have crossed her mind, but she also defended herself because there wasn't an easy way to casually track down intimate details about a person at the time. 'This was pre-social media, so it wasn't like he was posting pics of his family in matching pajamas in front of a Christmas tree,' she explained. Moreover, Scheana alleged that Eddie ditched his wedding ring whenever he went to the Tuesday poker game. 'To be clear, Eddie wasn't my boyfriend (at least not exclusively),' she emphasized. However, she did claim that they began a 'physical relationship' in late 2006. Another factor that blinded her from realizing that he was married was how they allegedly spent plenty of time in public with friends or on his boat, instead of trying to keep the relationship completely secret. She added that the 'frightening thing' about the relationship was that she thought she could easily 'end up with Eddie'. The relationship petered out when Scheana allegedly told Eddie she thought she was too young to be committed to a single person. Around that time she allegedly began dating the actor Jesse Metcalf, 'the sexy gardener from Desperate Housewives.' She claimed to have seen him as the title character in 2006's John Tucker Must Die and 'dream[ed]' of dating him - which became a reality in early 2007. Although she thought he was an 'awesome' guy and respected his focus on his sobriety, they grew apart and she allegedly began seeing Eddie again. However, she claimed a coworker later revealed to her that he was married, which she claimed he denied when she confronted him about it. Scheana explained how she never ended up at Eddie's home, which would have tipped her off that he was married. She later married Michael Shay from 2014 to 2017, and she tied the knot with her second husband Brock Davis in August 2021. The couple had welcomed their first child, four-year-old Summer Moon Honey, in April of that year.
