Vanderpump Rules star Scheana Shay claims that she had an affair with Eddie Cibrian back in 2006 when he was still married to Brandi Glanville, but she says she didn’t know he was married at the time.

The 40-year-old reality star opened up about her alleged relationship with Eddie, now 52, in her upcoming memoir “My Good Side.”

An excerpt from the memoir was just released by Entertainment Weekly and it details everything that went on between her and Eddie, beginning in 2006 when they met while she worked at a private member’s cigar lounge and restaurant in Beverly Hills.

“I first laid eyes on Eddie Cibrian a few months later, when he stepped off the elevator at the cigar lounge, where he played poker on Tuesday nights. If you were to ask me when I was growing up what my exact type was, to a tee it was Eddie—tall, dark, and handsome, with dimples. The second we made eye contact, he smiled at me with those dimples, and I melted. How could I not? He’s undeniably a gorgeous human,” Scheana began. “Our relationship wasn’t romantic from the jump, though the writing was on the wall from day one.”

Scheana said that Eddie would make her feel like she “was the only girl in the room when I was working” and that he “made a concerted effort to make eye contact with me.”

Eddie was married to Brandi Glanville at the time and Scheana addressed how she wasn’t aware of this.

“Of course, I’ve been asked a zillion times how I didn’t realize he was married. Why would I have thought he was? He never wore a wedding ring, so I assumed he was single,” Scheana said, adding that she did look at Eddie‘s IMDb page and only recognized one movie he was in.

Scheana added, “To be clear, Eddie wasn’t my boyfriend (at least not exclusively). But we did start a physical relationship at the end of 2006, which was a weekly booty call. After his Tuesday night poker games, and when my shift ended, we would go out together with our friends to get drinks, and then he would come back to my house, where we would hook up. Eddie would then go home, and I’d go back to my life for the rest of the week. In hindsight, it was pretty brazen of him to be fully out in public with a bunch of single women while his wife and child were at home.”

She claims that she was spotted in public with Eddie and he made it seem like “no big deal” when paparazzi photographed them together.

“The frightening thing is that I totally thought I could end up with Eddie; he looked how I’d always imagined my future husband would, and he treated me well. But I wasn’t trying to settle down at the age of twenty-one, and I was keeping my options open and dating other people,” she said.

Scheana ended up dating Jesse Metcalfe, but she went back to Eddie when that relationship ended.

“I fell right back into regularly hanging with Eddie—at which point it became more serious than our weekly poker-night hookup. So much so that when I was moving apartments, Eddie came to help me and met most of my friends and even my mother. His best friend also joined us with his son, who was a toddler at the time. We were literally intertwining our families and the people closest to us,” she said.

Someone eventually approached Scheana at work and told her that Eddie was married.

“I didn’t believe it (or maybe I didn’t want to believe it) because I was wild about Eddie. And, again, we were out together all the time in public, so I didn’t feel like some secret mistress! Still, I was freaking out and had a massive pit in my stomach. As predicted, Eddie showed up and, immediately, he could tell that my energy was off,” Scheana wrote in the book.

Scheana eventually asked Eddie if he was married and he allegedly had a surprising response.

“Eddie acted like he didn’t understand exactly what I was getting at, so I posed the question straightforwardly. And his answer was ‘No, that’s insane. Why would you ask me that?’ It was gaslighting in its most basic form. Yet, I trusted him, so we continued hanging out,” she wrote in the book.

Eddie eventually divorced Brandi and married LeAnn Rimes. They are still together and just made their first red carpet appearance together in years.
