Kourtney Kardashian Allegedly Urged Scott Disick to Seek Help Amid Weight Loss Concerns

If you're on TV, people are going to talk about your appearance, as reality stars well know. Case in point is Scott Disick, who of course famously dated Kourtney Kardashian and is the father of three of her children: Mason, Penelope, and Reign.

Scott has been photographed recently looking a bit unwell according to legions of fans. Not only has The Kardashians star lost what looks like a lot of weight, but some point out that his eyes look sunken. So, what happened to Scott Disick? Is he OK? Here's what we know about the Hulu star.

As of March 2024, Scott seems to just appear very unwell. Sightings of him in Los Angeles have fans buzzing about his obvious weight loss, with many opining he lost way too much.

"I'm no doctor. But I can tell you that doesn't look healthy," one person tweeted about Scott's alarming appearance.

Some fans speculated he is using the weight loss drug that seems to be taking over Hollywood: Ozempic. Others said he looks like he is using illegal substances.

In late April 2024, sources told DailyMail.com that Scott was on the lookout for a nutritionist to help him regain weight. Sources within the industry informed the outlet that Scott reportedly used Ozempic to shed his "dad bad," but the result left him appearing excessively thin.

"Scott recognized that he needed to stop taking Ozempic after seeing the photos of himself and the public outcry over his weight loss," an insider told the outlet.

"He thought he looked good because he was thinner again — not realizing that this was not healthy," the source continued. "He is now working with a nutritionist to get back on track and not balloon up to the size he was."

They added. "Scott has been incredibly attractive and fit his entire life and is not having the best time accepting that age is catching up with him."

On April 25, another report from DailyMail.com revealed that Kourtney played a pivotal role in encouraging Scott to seek help. A source disclosed that she had administered some "tough love" to her ex-boyfriend out of concern for their three children.

"Kourtney knows the importance of a father in your life — and she also knows what it is like to lose a father, and Scott knows too," the insider told the outlet.

"Kourtney has been worried about him — she does when it pertains to their kids," they added. "She wants to see Scott as healthy as possible. Her kids need a father."

The insider continued, "She's not had many major heart-to-hearts with him, but she has sent some tough love to Scott to help him improve. It is an uphill and constant battle, but a healthy and happy Scott is what everyone wants."

"If he didn't start getting help, she would likely have gone full force to help him out, but Kourtney has her own life, so she mainly went through others to get his attention," the insider concluded.

Now, this is not the first time that Scott has had to deal with the rumor mill when it comes to his appearance and health. In 2022, the dad of three was in a car accident that left him with minor injuries, but very shaken up. Ultimately, Scott also ended up dealing with back problems as a result of the crash and also gained weight, per Page Six.

While living his life on TV for everyone to see, Scott dealt with the back injury in real-time.

"I haven't been able to run around and I gained weight. Whatever I have to do to not have open back surgery, [I will do]," Scott said on an episode of the Kardashians family's Hulu show, which involved him visiting a doctor.

He added he used to enjoy sex before the accident. "But now I can't move so … I’m terrible," Scott sort of joked.

Given that he has shared his experiences with just about everything in the past, perhaps Scott will open up about what is going on with his health now? Only time will tell, but for now, he is yet to comment on the headlines about his health and appearance.

Interestingly, however, Scott seems to only share pictures of himself wearing sunglasses on his Instagram as of late. While this may just be an image play, it's worth noting that Scott previously sustained an eye injury back in 2016, and also reportedly underwent a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program.
