Why Scheana Shay Didn’t Tell Jesse Metcalfe About Her Bombshell Memoir

by

Scheana Shay wasn’t exactly pumped to revisit her past celebrity romances.

Factually, the former star of “Vanderpump Rules” explained why she chose not to alert Jesse Metcalf and other well-known exes that they were mentioned in her recently published memoir, titled “My Good Side,” before it hit the shelves.

Scheana, who is currently raising her 4-year-old daughter Summer Moon with husband Brock Davies, shared exclusively with TopMob News that she didn’t feel the need to warn any of these individuals about anything negative. However, she did feel it was necessary to speak with one person in particular – her ex-husband Mike Shay. She chose to discuss this matter with him personally, feeling that she owed him a conversation due to their past relationship.

It’s interesting to note that despite having numerous chances, the singer of “Good as Gold” didn’t disclose the details of her mid-2000s romance with Jesse until recently.

Scheana shared that she’s bumped into Jesse Metcalfe on several occasions at recent events and simply greeted him. She also mentioned meeting his girlfriend. The last time they met was the evening before they were going to announce their book, and she playfully teased Brock, mentioning that Jesse and he had played poker together previously. Scheana jokingly asked if she should tell Jesse he’s in the book, to which he replied, “You’re joking, right?

Instead of saying that, the 40-year-old stated, “I won’t casually mention, ‘Oh, by the way, it’s a pleasure to meet your girlfriend, she’s in my literary work.’

Despite any potential consequences, Scheana feels absolutely no remorse over discussing her past celebrity relationships – a list that includes Eddie Cibrian, John Mayer, Shemar Moore, Shane West, Jesse McCartney, JC Chasez, and Adrian Grenier – in her book.

Looking back, I’d say my early twenties were the most entertaining time to reminisce about, referring to my period in Hollywood. Those were truly exciting times!

Regarding how Jesse felt about appearing in “My Good Side”, the former star of “Desperate Housewives” didn’t hold any grudges when Scheana disclosed personal aspects from their past relationship by discussing their dating history.

Jesse, aged 46, shared with TopMob News that he occasionally bumps into Scheana at various events. He described her as a delightful girl and expressed his happiness for her achievements. He added, “It’s an interesting tale, one that might be worth sharing in print, but personally, it’s not a story I’m involved with.

It seems unlikely that Jesse, who has been with Helene Immel since 2023, will be in a hurry to buy the memoir.

“I was like, ‘This again?’” he added. “It was a really, really long time ago.”
