Everything felt like it was finally clicking for Scheana Shay. After years of "it’s all happening" and a string of televised heartbreaks, she’d found her guy. Brock Davies was the rugby-playing, muscular Australian who seemed to worship the ground she walked on. Then, the floor fell out.
Honestly, we all watched Vanderpump Rules fans lose their minds over Scandoval, but while the world was pointing fingers at Tom Sandoval, a different kind of bomb was ticking inside Scheana’s own house.
The Confession That Changed Everything
It wasn't some paparazzi caught-in-the-act moment. Brock actually sat her down and copped to it. He admitted to having a physical affair that lasted about three weeks. The kicker? It happened while Scheana was pregnant with their daughter, Summer Moon.
Imagine that for a second.
You’re dealin' with the physical toll of a first pregnancy—Scheana has been very open about her health struggles and past miscarriage—and your partner is out reconnecting with someone from his past. Specifically, it was a woman he knew before he ever met Scheana. They ran into each other outside his F45 gym in San Diego.
One thing led to another.

He didn't just tell her verbally, either. He eventually gave her a letter he’d written a year prior, detailing the specifics. Where they did it. How many times. Scheana later said in her memoir, My Good Side, that she made him burn that letter immediately. She didn't want those images burned into her brain forever.
Why Did He Do It?
People always want a "why." Brock’s explanation was... well, it was complicated. He claimed he was essentially self-sabotaging. He felt like a "bad dad" because of his past in Australia—the domestic violence incident with his ex and the fact that he was estranged from his two older children.
He told Scheana he didn't feel like he deserved to be a father again.
So, he acted out. He called himself a "coward" and a "bottom-dweller" for keeping the secret for two years. He only came clean in 2023 because the rumors about him and Rachel Leviss were starting to swirl. Even though the Rachel rumors were false, they scared him into thinking the truth about his actual affair would come out.
The "Karma" Factor
Scheana’s reaction was surprisingly raw. She didn't just cry; she actually slapped him and threw a Rubik’s Cube at his head. Weird choice of projectile, sure, but the rage was real.

Interestingly, she’s referred to this whole mess as "karma." If you’ve followed her since Season 1, you know she famously had an affair with actor Eddie Cibrian while he was married to Brandi Glanville. She’s been very candid about the fact that she felt this was the universe balancing the scales.
Is that a healthy way to look at a marriage? Maybe not. But in the world of Bravo, it’s about as honest as it gets.
The Rachel Leviss Rumors vs. Reality
For a while, the internet was convinced Brock had stepped out with Rachel (formerly Raquel) Leviss. It made sense to the fans—they were all part of the same friend group, and the timing of Scandoval made everyone look suspicious.
Scheana even asked him point-blank: "Did you ever cross the line with her?"
He maintained his innocence on that front. And as far as any public evidence goes, he was telling the truth. The real affair was with a non-famous person in San Diego, away from the cameras and the glitter of West Hollywood.

Where They Stand Now
A lot of people wondered if Scheana would walk. After all, she’s the one who paid off his thousands of dollars in back child support in Australia. She’s been his biggest defender against Lala Kent’s "deadbeat dad" accusations.
But they stayed together.
They’ve been doing the work. Therapy, late-night conversations, and a lot of public accountability. Brock has admitted that he was an "egomaniac" who detached from his emotions to survive his own messy past.
Actionable Insights for Navigating Relationship Betrayal:
- Transparency is the only path forward: If you're the one who messed up, partial truths (trickle-truth) will destroy the relationship faster than the affair itself. Brock’s "burn the letter" moment shows that while details are painful, total honesty is the only way to reset.
- Acknowledge the timing: Betrayal during pregnancy adds a layer of biological and emotional trauma. It requires specialized support, often through a therapist who understands postpartum vulnerability.
- Separate "Karma" from Boundaries: While Scheana views this as cosmic justice, experts suggest that viewing a partner’s betrayal as "deserved" can prevent actual healing. You have to address the breach of trust on its own merits, regardless of your past.
- Check the "Why": Understanding that self-sabotage often drives infidelity doesn't excuse the act, but it does provide a roadmap for what needs to be fixed in the individual's mental health to prevent a repeat.
Brock and Scheana are still a unit, but the "Good as Gold" image definitely has some permanent scratches on it now.
