Scheana Shay Kept Brock’s Affair a Secret for Years — but the Real Scandoval Was at Home All Along

But with this revelation came backlash after Scheana's candid reaction to friend Tom Sandoval's behavior after cheating on longtime girlfriend Ariana Madix with mutual friend Rachel Leviss. While Scheana made the revelation of Brock's infidelity in her new memoir, she's also reflecting on her own affair with actor Eddie Cibrian while his then-wife Brandi Glanville was pregnant. These affairs happened years ago, so why is Scheana resurfacing them now, and what’s her endgame?

Brock Davies Has Always Been Controversial—Scheana’s Affair Reveal Just Reopened Old Wounds

Now fans are reexamining Brock’s history. His first marriage ended after a domestic violence incident, leaving him estranged from his kids in Australia, something Lala Kent harped on during his first season of Vanderpump Rules. He once told Scheana he cheated as a form of self-sabotage, thinking he didn’t deserve a second chance. Brock gaslit both Lala and the viewers when they had understandable concerns about him and his chaotic past early on. Now friends with Brock, Lala later apologized, but it turns out she was right all along. Adding to the mess: Brock and Scheana secretly married a year before their TV wedding, partly for his citizenship status—while the affair was still hidden.

Scheana’s Shocking Confession Fuels Backlash—but 'Vanderpump Rules' Stars All Play the Same Dirty Game

At the same time, Scheana has a long history of profiting off scandal. She’s leaned into the drama for years, from her infamous John Mayer tell-all, the Eddie Cibrian situation, or dropping a Rachel diss track and reviving her song "Good as Gold" in a national ad campaign. Scheana knows she’ll get more backlash than sympathy, but she’s playing the long game. Her sights are set on staying relevant, possibly with a full-time spot on The Valley, and, honestly, she’s probably earned it.

The Valley Season 2 finale airs Tuesday night at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo.
