Scheana Shay on Being Eddie Cibrian’s ‘Weekly Booty Name,’ Says He Denied Being Married

Regardless of Cibrian being married to Actual Housewives of Beverly Hills star Brandi Glanville on the time, Shay stated she actually had no concept. Because the Vanderpump Guidelines alum reminds her readers in an unique clip shared with Leisure Weekly, this was earlier than the period of omnipresent social media, so secrets and techniques had been rather a lot simpler to carry.

Shay writes that she was simply 21 years previous when she first met Cibrian whereas she was working at a non-public members-only membership the place “each A-list superstar, director, author, and actor frolicked.” Her roommate, who additionally labored there, had helped her land the gig at “the most popular place to work in Beverly Hills.” Shay hoped, like many who go to LA, to get found and figured this was a great place for it.

In response to Shay, Cibrian walked in and he or she was completed in instantly. “When you had been to ask me after I was rising up what my actual sort was, to a tee it was Eddie–tall, darkish, and good-looking, with dimples,” she explains within the ebook. “The second we made eye contact, he smiled at me with these dimples, and I melted.”

Shay writes that she was smitten immediately with Cibrian’s attraction, and the way “he all the time made me really feel like I used to be the one woman within the room after I was working.”

As for Glanville, Shay writes that Cibrian being married by no means even crossed her thoughts — and it actually by no means crossed his lips. “This was pre–social media, so it wasn’t like he was posting pics of his household in matching pajamas in entrance of a Christmas tree,” she notes. He additionally by no means wore a marriage ring, per the ebook, so she merely “assumed he was single.”

On high of that, she did not have a smartphone and needed to go to an web cafe to even get on-line, so trying up this man on Google by no means actually crossed her thoughts. It was an easier time when it got here to issues like that, for higher or worse.

Shay defined that she and Cibrian had been by no means even in what may contemplate an unique boyfriend-girlfriend factor, however by 2006, issues had began to get bodily between them, with Shay describing it as “a weekly booty name.”

She defined that the hookups had been all the time on a Tuesday after her shift, they usually had been even out in public collectively rather a lot throughout this time with mates, cruising on his boat and “taking images collectively.”

“In hindsight, it was fairly brazen of him to be totally out in public with a bunch of single girls whereas his spouse and little one had been at residence,” she writes in her ebook. And on the similar time, she was falling laborious, including, “The scary factor is that I completely thought I may find yourself with Eddie.”

This was nicely earlier than Shay would discover success in actuality tv with the launch of VPR in 2013, and even earlier than Glanville turned a Housewife in 2011 — which was additionally the 12 months after she and Cibrian’s very public divorce over his infidelity with a distinct lady.

On the similar time that issues had been feeling proper with Cibrian, Shay felt herself being younger and never fairly able to commit — plus, she and Cibrian had by no means been unique. “That was after I began seeing Jesse Metcalfe, the attractive gardener from Determined Housewives,” she writes.

They started courting in 2007, however when that relationship ran its course, she and Cibrian reconnected. And regardless of by no means going to his home or actually being introduced within his world, Shay writes that she “did not see a single purple flag” with him.

“It actually felt like we had been constructing one thing. Did I believe it was bizarre that I by no means went to his home? No!” she writes. “He lived in Calabasas, supposedly. And I actually wasn’t making the trek to Calabasas in 2007, when Ubers didn’t exist, and I had lower than $1,000 to my title.” For a younger working-class lady, she was completely blissful to hold in Beverly Hills or Hollywood and at her place.

Shay stated that somebody at her work did tip her off to the truth that Cibrian was married. “He will need to have seen that we had been getting extra severe and didn’t need me to get in too deep,” writes Shay.

She writes that she finally requested him straight-out and he denied it, replying, “No, that is insane. Why would you ask me that?”

“It was gaslighting in its most simple kind,” Shay provides. “But, I trusted him, so we continued hanging out.”

And, because it seems, Cibrian was additionally stepping out on his marriage to Glanville with another person — the lady who would (considerably controversially, at the least within the public eye) turn into his spouse the 12 months after his divorce, LeAnn Rimes.
