Shay was part of a lawsuit against Hooters where she was secretly filmed while undressing in 2004.
Shay dated actor Eddie Cibrian, while he was married to Brandi Glanville, Shay telling Us Weekly in 2013: "Seven years ago I met Eddie, and six or eight months go by and I find out that he’s married and I call him out. He lied at first about it and then he admitted it. So I stopped talking to him for a long time." However, Cibrian was also dating singer LeAnn Rimes. Shay has denied that she knew Cibrian was still married, and admitted to believing that he was separated from his wife and was waiting on the divorce to finalize. She had no idea that Rimes was even in the picture.
