More Bad News, Scott & Kourtney Fans

by Tracy Dye

The bad news keeps coming for fans of Scott Disick and Kourtney Kardashian. News broke on Monday, July 6, that the couple had reportedly split for good amid rumors that Disick had been canoodling with his ex-girlfriend, Chloe Bartoli. Additionally, Disick has allegedly been struggling with substance abuse issues again — a battle that has been featured in various seasons of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, and for which Disick sought treatment in March. As new details and speculation around the split continue to be dispersed throughout the media, one report from Us Weekly noted that Bartoli may not be the only brunette Disick had been cozying up to before becoming estranged from Kardashian.

In a photo from June 14, Disick is seen lounging on a couch at the Trump SoHo hotel in New York City, with his arm draped casually around an anonymous brunette. The photo also shows Disick in front of a coffee table that is littered with beer bottles and cans, cigarettes, and a small mountain of prescription pills. Whether or not the father of three is/was romantically involved with the woman in the photo, the quantity of alcohol and prescription drugs visible in the picture is extremely disconcerting.

Despite the various allegations and reports, there is no way to confirm any misbehavior on Disick's part. Neither party has offered official confirmation of a split, and I wish him and Kardashian the best as they navigate through what is surely a trying time.
