Scott Disick Allegedly Turned To Ozempic Out Of Jealousy Of Travis Barker

Scott Disick is learning the hard way that “comparison is the thief of joy.”

The media personality recently shocked fans with a gaunt appearance that had many thinking he was severely ill. However, sources clarified the “Keeping Up With The Kardashians” alum was on Ozempic.

As for why he turned to the viral weight loss drug, new reports claim Disick was insecure about his body — not because of the unflattering weight but over Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker's relationship.

Before Kravis became one of the most beloved power couples, Kourtney and Disick were a thing. The duo's on-and-off-again romance continued for a decade, with three children completing their home.

Unfortunately, the Poosh founder ended things with her former lover over his sobriety battles and found love again with the Blink-182 drummer. The new couple eventually tied the knot in 2022 and welcomed their first child, son Rocky, in 2023.

However, it seems losing Kourtney reportedly did not sit well with Disick, and his well-being significantly worsened as her relationship with Barker blossomed. According to a source, his recent Ozempic transformation stemmed from this issue. The insider told Daily Mail:

“Kourtney’s marriage to Travis took a toll on Scott, and as he got bigger, he was comparing himself to Travis – and Travis being thin didn’t help. Scott turned to food as his crutch because he could not turn to drugs.”

The insider explained that Disick used food as his coping mechanism amid Kourtney’s new romance since he had given up alcohol and drugs. The 40-year-old wasn't tempted to use substances as he didn't want to jeopardize his relationship with his children.

“He loves his kids too much to try to ruin his relationship with them,” the source continued, alleging that “Kourtney is, of course, concerned because he is the father of her children.”

Disick's former partner isn't the only person concerned about his well-being, as the informant claimed the entertainer's inner circle might hold an intervention about his Ozempic use. In their words:

“After the photos emerged, people close to Scott realized how dire the situation is – but they’re struggling with an intervention as so many around him take the drug too. It would be like the pot calling the kettle black.”

Before the latest report about Disick's extreme weight loss, sources revealed that the Karjenner family was worried about his health. The 40-year-old's shocking gaunt debut had many thinking he was suffering from an undisclosed disease or using illicit drugs.

However, insiders refuted these viral speculations, noting that Disick's concerning appearance resulted from a desperate attempt to get rid of his “dad bod.” In their words:

“He is not ill and isn’t doing hardcore drugs. Kourtney would never allow Scott to spend so much time with their kids if he was in the throes of an addiction.”

The source continued, “Scott started taking Ozempic because he had serious issues with his weight gain. This time last year, he saw himself as fat.”

The insider noted that after gaining significant weight, Disick disliked his image on TV and “would go to great lengths to cover it up.” Eventually, he used the viral drug as a quick way to get rid of the extra pounds.

Although he got the desired effect from Ozempic, the source stressed that the Kardashians were concerned that he had taken things “too far.” In their words:

“Scott wanted the easy way out of his dad bod. But now it has clearly gone too far, and, of course, the family is worried about him. They will likely use this for show ratings in The Kardashians.”

Disick raised eyebrows when pictures of his concerning appearance at the Catch Steak restaurant in West Hollywood went viral. Fans echoed their worries, expressing he had become a shadow of his former self.

"He looks very, very unwell" was the most popular opinion, while another social media user believed the Kardashians were to blame. “He looks like he is sick. I hope he gets help. I like Scott,” the individual penned.

Another comment read, “I feel he has been punished over and over for mistakes he made in the past with Kourtney, and the majority of the Kardashian family has abandoned him. Khloe seems to be the only one who checks in on him.”
