Jesse Metcalfe dismissed Scheana Shay's new memoir in an interview this weekend.
In an interview Us Weekly on Saturday, the actor, 46, revealed he hadn't read his ex's new book, which was published on July 22 and shared details about their fling almost 20 years ago.
Jesse said: 'I just became aware of the book, like, a couple days ago. So, no, I haven’t read it yet.'

New release: Titled My Good Side, the book contains never-before-heard stories from the former Vanderpump Rules star, 40 (seen on July 21 in NYC)
When Scheana dated Jesse in 2007, she said 'it felt like I was living a real-life fantasy with this guy I’d watched on TV and in movies for years'.
According to Us Weekly, Scheana also wrote that she had a 'great time' during their romance, adding: 'Our relationship didn’t happen right away. Soon after we first met, he went to rehab, so we started hanging out often only after he finished.'
Scheana wrote that Jesse took her on a date to the Cloverfield red carpet premiere.
'I then spent my 22nd birthday at dinner with him. I vividly remember sticking to water and Red Bull all night as a way of supporting his sobriety,' she said.

Despite not having read her book, Jesse said he appreciated that Scheana spoke positively about him.
He said: 'It’s always nice when people speak highly of you. It’s better than people speaking ill of you.'
Days earlier, Jesse also addressed his former flame mentioning him when she appeared as a guest on Tori Spelling's MisSpelling podcast.
He said: 'She spoke highly of me, which was nice. It was a long time ago, 20 years ago. We were dating. I mean, it was - overall - it was pretty brief, but we were seeing each other on a regular basis.'
Jesse joked that he's made it a point to keep Scheana's memoir 'away' from his current girlfriend, Helene Immel, whom he's been seeing since 2023.

Back in January, Scheana announced her literary effort and said readers could expect 'tea' on her ex-boss Lisa Vanderpump.
Another relationship mentioned in My Good Side is Schena's alleged affair with actor Eddie Cibrian in 2006, which happened while he was married to future Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills star Brandi Glanville.
She claims in the pages of My Good Side that Lisa knew more about the situation with Eddie than she initially let on.
Scheana claimed Lisa purposefully put her and Brandi together on screen in a Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills episode in order to 'launch Vanderpump's TV empire'.
