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.”
You know what that is? Growth.
