Scheana Shay is sharing her side of the story.
The Vanderpump Rules, alum, 40, is opening up about why she chose to keep quiet about husband Brock Davies' past infidelity, a revelation she shares for the first time in her upcoming memoir, My Good Side.
While an excerpt from the book—detailing Davies', 38, affair—was released by Glamour on July 10, Shay addressed the deeply personal topic just days earlier on the July 4 episode of her Scheananigans podcast, explaining why she held back certain parts of her life until now.
"There are some things that I haven't been as forthcoming about, or maybe that I never corrected the narrative on," Shay admitted, seemingly alluding to the bombshell affair.
"Never shared my side of the story because I've been afraid," she continued, "or thought, if I tell people what I'm actually going through, then they're gonna think that I'm trying to take the attention off what someone else is going through, and make it about me."
According to Shay, concern about how she might be perceived played a major role in her silence.
"That perception of me," she said, "has made me hold back at times from opening up on the show or on the podcast, because everyone always says, 'Oh, you make everything about you.'"
But in writing My Good Side, Shay said she finally felt empowered to tell her story on her own terms.
"In my book, I get to make it about me, and you'll hear the sides of my story that I have never shared until now in the book, in my own words, with my control of the narrative for once," Shay explained.
During her podcast, Shay also teased that the memoir will be full of unexpected moments.
"There's a lot about my past, my family, my earlier life experiences that I think the readers will be shocked by," she said. "I think people think they know everything about me, but after reading this book, you will, because you 100% do not right now. I can promise you that."

Shay continued, "You know a side of me from reality TV, you know a side of me from my podcast, my YouTube. You put it all together, you've maybe got, I don't know, let's say 80% of me, but the book will give you the rest."
One of the book's most emotional revelations came when Shay described the moment she found out about Davies' affair—while she was pregnant with their daughter, Summer Moon.
"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 pandemic, while I was pregnant with Summer," she wrote in the excerpt published by Glamour, adding that the confession left her feeling "completely sick to my stomach."
According to Shay, Davies admitted that at the time, he was struggling with the idea of becoming a father again.
"He was scared about being a father again, specifically about whether he even deserved to be," Shay recalled. "And he chose to deal with it by sleeping with someone else."
"I use the word 'chose' because it was very much a conscious decision," she wrote. "No one twisted his arm or dragged him into bed."
Shay said Davies had reconnected with a woman "he had known since before we met" outside of his gym, F45, in San Diego, California. "After reconnecting, he said they began a brief affair."
Shay and Davies welcomed their daughter in April 2021 and tied the knot in August 2022 in Cancun, Mexico. But amid the 2023 Vanderpump Rules cheating scandal involving Tom Sandoval and Rachel (Raquel) Leviss, Shay shared on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen that she confronted her husband about whether anything had ever happened between him and Leviss as well.
"I absolutely did question him because after all the Tom and Raquel stuff, which I didn't think was true, I obviously had to ask," she said during the April 2023 episode.
"He said, 'Absolutely not,'" Shay recalled, before adding that she followed up with another question: "'Did she ever try?' As much as I trust my husband, I don't trust [Leviss]."
"He said no," she added. "He said he never put that energy off, and we know Sandoval did."
My Good Side hits shelves on July 22 and is available for preorder now.
