Brock Davies Finally Breaks Silence on Scheana Shay Affair

July 25, 2025

Scheana Shay tees up the newest Scheananigans with a warning that this one is “one of the most vulnerable and personal” episodes she has ever recorded. She is not kidding. The entire hour is her and her husband, Brock Davies, sitting in discomfort, naming what happened, and choosing to own it together. The affair everyone whispered about is no longer a blind item or a Reddit theory. It is out loud, in their voices, on their terms.

Shay makes it clear from the jump that this is not a stunt. She says she cannot tell “my truth” without telling all of it, so the chapter of My Good Side that landed in Glamour had to be expanded, contextualized, and humanized. She wanted control of the story before someone else pieced it together from advance copies and gossip accounts. Davies backs her, saying the leak didn’t reveal the truth; it only accelerated their timeline.

The episode that changed the conversation

Shay frames the sit-down as a continuation of her memoir, My Good Side. Leaving the affair out felt like ripping a chapter from her life and pretending it never existed. She tells listeners it would have been “extremely inauthentic” to do that. Davies agrees. He reminds everyone that this is her book, her narrative, and he refused to influence how she wrote it. He would read it when she was done, then deal with whatever accountability the pages demanded.

Why they chose to speak now

The disclosure followed the circulation of advance galleys of the memoir, which contained details about the affair. Rather than wait for the information to surface elsewhere and let other people control the narrative, Shay says they decided to “share this on our terms with our voice” because secrecy had become its prison.

Although Davies never revealed the identity of his mistress, Shay describes his confession to her in 2022, in My Good Side: “My whole body froze, and I remained in a state of paralyzed shock as he confessed that he’d cheated on me two years prior, when we were living in San Diego during the [COVID-19] pandemic, while I was pregnant with Summer,” she wrote. “As I sat there, feeling completely sick to my stomach, he admitted that — at the time — he was scared about being a father again, specifically about whether he even deserved to be, and he chose to deal with it by sleeping with someone else.”

Davies calls himself “a coward.” He says he was protecting himself, not his wife. He spells out that it was “a sexual affair” over three weeks, multiple meetups, no dates, no romance, just sex. Then he compartmentalized the whole thing, wrote it down in a letter, and shoved it into the back of his mind.

That held until guilt boiled over. He describes sitting at the gym, listening to a motivational speech about doing hard things, and realizing he could not build a healthy marriage on a lie. He went home, heart pounding, sat down next to Shay while she queued up Housewives, and confessed.

The aftermath and why Shay stayed

Shay admits that there were nights she did not think she could stay. Months where the damage felt “too deep” and the trust “too broken.” She did not tell friends or family because she did not want outside opinions muddying what had to be her decision. What shifted her was not a speech. It was behavior. “You didn’t run from this. You didn’t minimize it or deflect,” she tells Davies. He looked her in the eye, took full ownership, and then lived up to that accountability every day.

She rejects the narrative that staying equals weakness. Lala Kent once told her it “takes a strong bitch to stay,” and Shay agrees. It may not be the right choice for everyone. It was the right call for her.

Owning the hypocrisy

Both address the elephant in the Bravo room. They were preaching transparency on Vanderpump Rules, yet they were hiding a massive secret. Davies calls the hypocrisy “real” and another example of damage he left behind. Shay explains she was not ready. Once you put something on camera, it is there forever, and she had not even processed what it meant for her marriage or her daughter. Watching Ariana Madix set firm boundaries helped Shay realize she was also allowed to move on her timeline.

What comes next for Davies and Shay

Davies lays out his promise. He will “keep showing up,” keep doing the work, and be “a living example of what a man can be after he shows his worst parts.” He also directs the smoke where it belongs. If you are coming for anyone, come for him, not her.

Shay is realistic. There is no perfect bow on this story. They still have triggers. She still checks his location sometimes, then catches herself and chooses trust. Transparency has brought them closer together, but the healing process is ongoing.

She ends with a message to anyone quietly navigating the same hell. If cheating were the end of your story, that makes sense. Sometimes the only way forward is out. But sometimes it is okay to stay, do the work, and write a different ending. You can pick up My Good Side at any bookstore, and check out the latest episode of Scheananigans, now available.
