'Vanderpump Rules' Recap: Brock Davies Argues With Scheana Shay, Mom
Brock Davies got into a heated conversation with Scheana Shay – and her mother – about his wife's mental health issues.
During a new episode of Vanderpump Rules, which aired on Tuesday, February 6, Scheana, 38, candidly discussed her OCD diagnosis after welcoming her and Brock's now 2-year-old daughter, Summer. Scheana struggled to leave her child due to intrusive thoughts, but she took a big step by asking a friend Tori Keeth to babysit on a trial basis.
“If you could help out for a night or two when we need to be somewhere and she needs to be put to bed, that's really all I'm looking for from you,” Scheana told Tori, 24, while Brock, 32, and her mother, Erika van Olphen, sat in the same room. “Someone I would also trust if he were to leave.”
Brock then made a comment about Scheana's “inability to let things go,” which upset her and Erika.
Long and happy! Scheana Shay found something special with Brock Davies after previously experiencing several ups and downs in her dating life. The Vanderpump Rules star married Mike Shay on the Bravo show in 2014 and filed for divorce two years later. In 2016, Scheana reconnected with her ex, Robert Valletta, and their relationship was […]
“That's not what it is. Just shut up,” Scheana said before Brock asked, “OCD… Or what is it? Why did you get so triggered?”
The conversation took an emotional turn when Scheana broke down in tears, adding, “Because she's my everything and I'm not just going to leave her with anyone.” I say this is really a big deal to me. To enlist someone else to help. That's why I said, 'Let's start with Tori. Because I feel comfortable with that. Please.'”
In response, Brock went on the defensive by pointing out that they wouldn't “just leave” Summer with a random person.
'Why are you saying please to me? I have been asking for this for months,” he noted as he detailed this in a confessional. “I just miss my wife having a good day. Before we had Summer, we were such a juggernaut at getting things done. For Scheana, simple daily tasks can become monumental and overwhelming. It's quite a thought process. The problem is that if there are a lot of 'what if' questions, we don't get anything done.”
Erika tried to explain to Brock where Scheana was coming from, saying, “I just think sometimes you have to validate her feelings.”
Brock didn't seem happy with the suggestion that he doesn't support Scheana. He tried to argue his side of the story, but ended up arguing with Scheana and Erika.
“There are two of you right now validating her feelings. All I do is support you and I try to help with that,” Brock commented as Erika shook her head. 'Do not [disagree]. You surround yourself with yes people.”
Erika quickly dismissed the idea that her daughter relied on her. “I raised two daughters who don't need anything from me. Do you need my help or are you asking for my help with Summer? Yes,” she replied. “But that doesn't mean Scheana isn't one of the most independent people I know.”
Erika continued: “You have come far and I am so grateful to your therapist for that. And you for the work you put into it. And your friendship with [Tori] helped so much.”
By the end of the conversation, Scheana was able to empathize more with her husband's point.
The offspring of Brock Davies! Scheana Shay welcomed daughter Summer with her husband in April, and the Aussie has two more children from a previous marriage. Us Weekly broke the news in November 2019 that the “One More Time” singer was dating Davies. The California native told us at the time that she had met […]
“I think he says this because he feels like I always have to ask for your opinion, your approval and your assurance. He feels like sometimes you help too much and it's a hindrance,” she noted. “I hope I can get to a place where I'm not afraid to do things alone with my daughter. Where I'm not working every day about something bad happening to her, or to Brock, or to my mother. I want to be able to enjoy the moment and not think that this is the last moment.”
After Scheana, Erika and Tori all got emotional over the reality star's fluctuating mental health, Brock tried to find the positive in their tense conversation.
“That's why I wanted to talk about it. Because we needed to talk about it clearly,” he said as the group laughed.
Season 11 of Vanderpump Rules airs on Bravo Tuesdays at 8pm ET and will be available to stream on Peacock the following day.
