The insider claimed that the star, like many in Hollywood, wanted to use the wonder drug as a quick way to shed the extra pounds he had gained.
“Scott wanted the easy way out of his father’s body,” they said. “But now it has clearly gone too far and, of course, the family is worried about him.”

The star’s struggles began in August 2022 after a car accident that flipped her Lamborghini.
During the episode, Scott admitted that he hadn’t gotten the physical therapy needed to recover and later told his doctor, “I haven’t been able to run everywhere.” I’ve gained weight.’
Khloe said: “I think Scott needs a little pep talk because this is probably the most unhealthy I’ve seen him. He’s barely mobile, and everything is done from his back, so it wouldn’t do anyone any good.
Scott then admitted that he had “gained a lot of weight…because of my back.”
The businessman also struggled with drug addiction throughout his adult life and was even hospitalized for alcohol poisoning in June 2020.
Before that, he suffered a near-fatal overdose in 2014 after taking almost an entire bottle of sleeping pills after a wild night of drinking and partying.

In 2017, he told DailyMail.com that he used SwissX legal cannabis oil to “relax.”
He changed his diet in 2020 after discovering he had low testosterone levels.
