Shayne Davis Reveals Why His Life-style Made Him ‘Nervous’ to Be part of Vanderpump Rules

Season 12 of Vanderpump Rules debuted with all-new faces. And whereas viewer response has been blended, I really feel that the newbies want an opportunity to ascertain themselves. And one of many solid stand-outs, Shayne Davis, doesn’t even work at SUR. Still, his attraction and fascinating backstory make him memorable.

Meanwhile, Lisa Vanderpump is already proclaiming the reboot’s success. “Just got the good news that Vanderpump Rules is thriving … the Season 12 premiere reached 2.6 million viewers across platforms, making it bigger than all new series in 2025!” she wrote by way of Instagram. Still, the VPR solid wants a second to win over followers.

Shayne Davis says, “I know what my life looks like…”

“I almost didn’t do it, to be honest with you,” Shayne instructed PEOPLE. “I know what my life looks like, and it ain’t always great. And I was like, ‘Damn, is that something I really want out?’ This is, they’re following your life, and they’re going to see it all, and so that really made me nervous,” he added.

So, how did Shayne come to affix the solid? His buddy and co-star, Marcus Jordan, satisfied him. “I eat here a lot. I’m also at AA meetings on this street,” Shayne defined. “So Lisa saw me and was like, ‘This guy’s got to do it.’ And he asked me to, and I was like, ‘Well, I can’t let my boy go to war alone.’”

He continued with fun, “I’m curious to see if I’m a sh*tty dude or not. Because I don’t know.” Shayne added, “But I know that if I’m a sh*tty dude, I’m going to try to work on it, so it might even be therapeutic, some might say.”

And this “player with a heart of gold” was shot 3 times by his greatest buddy. The incident left him paralyzed beneath the waist. Now Shayne is bodily healed and is three years sober, residing his greatest life on tv.
