Scheana Shay Reveals Vanderpump Rules Pay Cut, Fake Scenes, Celebrity Hookups

Scheana Shay, known from Vanderpump Rules, has released her memoir My Good Side, where she reveals intimate details about her past relationships, including a brief romance with actor Jesse Metcalfe nearly 20 years ago, which he recently acknowledged on a podcast. The memoir also uncovers Shay's experiences with multiple celebrity flings and her decision to eventually pursue a grounded relationship away from the spotlight, now married to Brock Davies with whom she has a daughter. Shay discusses challenges on Vanderpump Rules, including being demoted to a lower salary for seasons 8 and 10 while still fulfilling main cast duties, and discloses that a scripted scene was secretly staged during the show's ninth season finale to maintain narrative continuity. Despite these setbacks, she credits the demotion for motivating her to expand her creative outlets, such as launching a YouTube channel and podcast. Additionally, Shay opens up about her struggles with postpartum OCD and her commitment to breaking stigma by discussing mental health openly. Her memoir and honest reflections illustrate both the pressures of reality TV fame and her personal growth beyond it.
