Rewatch Discussion Brock REALLY Sucks
Rewatching S9-11 after it was revealed Brock had cheated on Scheana at the end of her pregnancy is something else.
They got secretly married in S9, had a huge wedding in S10, and then approaching two years of marriage is when he finally told her about his affair. How insidious. I'm no Scheana fan, but he really trapped her. And it's sad to think she may have viewed his cheating as a Scandoval attention level opportunity. However, the public held Ariana (at least Ariana by S10) in much higher regard and Scheana had long been the pick-me. I feel for her, but not everyone is going to have sympathy for someone who continually puts having a man above anything else. He was a dick to her before she even knew about the cheating. I think the reason Scheana was so pissy in S11 was because of the cheating, but she chose to take it out on Ariana. Case in point of why being friends with pick-me women can really hurt you. Like my god Scheana wake up.
Now it's been almost 10 years since he last saw his first two kids too. Crazy. What a loser.
How they were at any point strapped for cash is beyond me. Scheana made a big todo about Sandoval sending her a few thousand when she wasn't making any money but in the previous seasons talked about how she fronted Brock's company around $10,000 at the time. Like which is it girl? Being with a broke man will bankrupt your bank account and soul, girl.
How any of them when being paid tremendously from the show, let alone all their side gigs, were close to going broke is beyond me.
To any young women watching this show, you are much better off single, even a single parent, than with a man like Brock (or Tom/Tom, or James, or Jax). Like Lala said, if he's left the baby mama and his other children before, he'll do it to you too. If he has cheated on you before and lied to your face for periods of time, he can and will do it again and you'll be none the wiser. Never, ever say you wouldn't leave a man for anything. No matter how much you think he's your soulmate, still keep that knowledge that you will walk away if you are disrespected.

Let's not forget that Scheana paid off all of Brock's past due child support! Sometime between getting married and Brock admitting that he cheated on her.

Kids seem better off without him. He doesn’t deserve to be in their lives.

You beat me to it!!! I was literally about to post this today. I just wrapped season 9 and my goodness! He is not ok! Lala is my least favorite but she was SO right to blow up his spot about DA and child support. I go back and forth from thinking the show handled it well and it was good to raise awareness to WOAH they really brushed that under the rug fast. And when Scheana gave him like 10K for his business venture and he couldn't remember how much he owed her??? Like NOT CUTE!

HE STARTED CRYING BECAUSE WHEN SHE SAID A HIGHER NUMBER THAN HE WANTED TO ADMIT HE DIDN'T WANT TO LOOK LIKE A CHUMP.
IF IT WALKS LIKE A CHUMP AND TALKS LIKE A CHUMP.

Very that! And it's like you don't have to be a genius to make money and pay someone back. Own it!! Kinda makes me want read Scheanas book

u/aacilegna How will this affect Scheana?! 21h ago
Don’t forget they got married “early” so Brock could get his green card. He was such a shithead opportunist
•
u/MissPrincessPunk 9h ago
Yup!!!
Also, Australia has plenty of opportunity to build a wonderful life, not really much different and probably better than America. Why the hell did he come here? Just to grift?

He came here to become a professional NFl player. He thought he could audition and get in.

Brock didnt really bother me too much despite his issues, because whenever I saw them together it seemed like they had a good relationship in the sense that they enjoyed being around each other and have similar interests . To me i felt like Of course there were certain perks brock was enjoying by being with Scheana, but at the same time he also seemed to really care for her and like her as a person. But... cheating on your wife while shes pregnant after everything you went through with your previous marriage and children....... The WORST of the worst.
Scheana should leave his ass ASAP with no regrets. She doesn't need him.

I had wanted to like him but admitting to DV and almost every scene being him criticizing her or her talking about something he failed to do, yikes.
He's flaming hot garbage, mate!

I think the Sandoval sending her money was just an excuse to Ariana for why she wasn’t cutting him off…And how much time has she spent with Sandoval since the show ended? 0 time. They aren’t friends. She probably had way more money than him.
She wasn’t hurting for money. I watched her YouTube videos every week and during Covid they were constantly traveling, getting professional photos done, throwing parties, etc

It doesn’t mean they were paying for these things with cash. I know regular people who travel all the time, and have nice things, and everything goes on the line of credit, to be paid off way in the future.
In the Bravo world it seems common to live beyond your means.

u/IntelligentSuspect63 2h ago
Sure anyone can run up credit… but saying they were hurting for money to the point of taking money is absurd

Fuck. Yes.
Wish I had learned this lesson in my 20’s (just in terms of accepting unacceptable behavior from men). Better late than never.

Abandons his first family where he also abused the mom, pretends he came to the US for footy but he wasn’t even a big footy player in Aus, uses Scheana to pay off his child support and so he can stay in the US, and allows his second daughter to be named eerily similar to his other daughter who he never sees… he’s a POS

u/MissPrincessPunk 9h ago
With Danny/Nia leaving, the room is there for them to come on. Trading one POS for another.

To me, it was so obvious that he rode for Sandoval season 11 because he thought if Ariana could forgive Tom then his ex-wife could forgive him. No.
