Scheana Shay reveals how Tom Sandoval’s cheating scandal cracked open her own marriage as anonymous DMs exposed Brock Davies’ infidelity while she was pregnant and forced her to confront a brutal truth about love, loyalty, and everything she ... - suong

Scheana Shay had survived public breakups, online ridicule, and the full weight of reality TV’s microscope. But nothing prepared her for the betrayal that came not from a castmate — but from the man she trusted to build a family with.

In the spring of 2023, as Scandoval shook the Bravo universe to its core, Scheana’s phone wouldn’t stop buzzing. But unlike the rest of the world — gleefully absorbing every detail of Tom Sandoval’s affair with Raquel Leviss — Scheana wasn’t just an observer. She was slowly realizing she was living a parallel betrayal.

“Raquel was the trigger,” she writes in her upcoming memoir My Good Side. “But not the only one.”

At first, it was background noise: anonymous tips, cryptic Reddit posts, Instagram DMs from followers she didn’t know. They all suggested the same thing — that Brock Davies, her husband and the father of her daughter, had not been honest about his past.

“I shrugged off the first few messages,” Scheana recalls. “People online love to speculate. I thought I was being targeted because I was close to Ariana, and people wanted to drag me in.”

But then, one DM stopped her cold. It was longer than the rest — calm, detailed, and chillingly specific.

“He used to spend Saturdays with her in San Diego. She helped him pack for the Australia trip. That same trip where you two became official. She thought he was hers.”

Scheana stared at the message for hours. She couldn’t breathe. “That one line — 'She helped him pack' — cracked me open,” she writes. “Because I remembered that trip. I remembered him showing up, tan, relaxed, with a duffel bag I complimented. And now I was imagining another woman folding his shirts, zipping his case. Preparing him for our love story.”

The Scandoval affair had opened a portal. Suddenly, nothing felt solid. Every timeline blurred. Every memory warped. And as the rumors mounted — one claiming he’d had a fling with someone from his F45 gym, another alleging he had a second phone just for “work” — Scheana’s sense of security collapsed.

“I believed him when he denied it,” she writes. “But belief doesn’t hold up when you’re drowning in coincidences.”

It wasn’t until Easter weekend that Brock finally told her the truth. The two had just put their daughter, Summer Moon, to bed. They were preparing to watch an episode of The Real Housewives of New Jersey — a show that once gave Scheana comfort. But on that night, she noticed Brock was fidgeting.

“He said, ‘There’s something I need to tell you before someone else does.’ And my heart dropped.”

What followed was a confession Scheana never expected. Two years earlier, while she was pregnant, Brock had slept with another woman. They had been living in San Diego, preparing to welcome their first child — and he had been unfaithful.

“He said he was scared. That he didn’t feel worthy of being a father again,” Scheana writes. “And that instead of talking to me, he coped by sleeping with someone else. I was speechless. I was carrying our baby. And he was in someone else’s bed.”

She stood up. Started pacing. She couldn’t scream — Summer was sleeping — but the rage consumed her. She slapped him. Then she picked up a Rubik’s cube and threw it across the room.

“He dodged it. But I’ll never forget that sound. The plastic hitting the wall. And now, every time I see one of those stupid cubes, I feel it all over again.”

Brock had written her a letter, filled with the sordid details she never asked for — where they’d had sex, how many times, what it meant. “He said it was only physical. That it wasn’t love. That he used protection. Gee, thanks.”

What stung most wasn’t just the act — but the timing. She had spent months pregnant, confused why Brock had pulled away, even sexually. She now knew why.

“I begged him to burn the letter,” Scheana admits. “I never wanted to read those words again.”

Now, with her memoir days away from release, Scheana is reclaiming her voice — and revealing the brutal reality behind her “perfect” family.

“It didn’t all come crashing down when Tom cheated on Ariana,” she says. “It started then. But the real collapse happened quietly, in my DMs, from strangers who knew the truth before I did.”

Scheana says she’s still working through the betrayal. Trust doesn’t come easily anymore. “The hardest part?” she writes. “Realizing I didn’t lose him to another woman. I lost myself in a version of love I thought was real.”

And now, for the first time, she’s telling the whole story — not just for herself, but for every woman who’s ever read a blind item and wondered, could this be about me?
