Scott Disick started using popular weight loss drug Ozempic after comparing himself to Kourtney Kardashian's husband Travis Barker, insiders told DailyMail.com

Scott Disick gained weight after struggling to cope with his ex Kourtney Kardashian’s new romance with Travis Barker – then he turned to Ozempic as he began comparing himself to the musician, insiders claim.

The reality TV star, 40 – who shares three children with her former partner of 10 years – reportedly struggled to see the Poosh founder moving on with the Blink-182 drummer, and allegedly blew up their PDA in a DM leaked in 2022.

Now, insiders claim the troubled star is in a “dire situation” and there is talk of an intervention after his use of Ozempic left him woefully gaunt.

“Kourtney’s marriage to Travis took a toll on Scott and as he grew up he compared himself to Travis – and it didn’t help that Travis was thin,” a source exclusively told DailyMail.com .

“Scott turned to food as a crutch because he couldn’t turn to drugs.”

The insider added that the star avoided alcohol and drugs as a way to cope, emphasizing that the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star didn’t want to jeopardize her relationship with her children.

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

“After the photos were published, Scott’s loved ones realized how dire the situation was – but they struggled to intervene because many people around him were also taking the drug. It would be like the pot calling the kettle black.

The insider claimed it’s “very likely” that Scott’s weight loss crisis will feature in an upcoming season of The Kardashians.

“Scott knows,” they said. “He’s signed a contract so he can’t do much about them using his disturbing TV appearance.”

Scott dated Kourtney from 2006 to 2015, with the reality star citing his struggles with sobriety as the reason for their split. They have children Mason, 14, Penelope, 11, and Reign, nine.

Kourtney moved on with drummer Travis, and the couple married in May 2022. The couple, who are no strangers to very public displays of affection, welcomed their first child together, son Rocky, the year last.

Earlier this week, DailyMail.com reported that Kourtney is reportedly worried about Scott, who insiders say went “too far” with Ozempic in a desperate attempt to shed his “dad body.”

Scott – pictured ahead of Ozempic in 2021 in Miami – has struggled with his weight over the years, with insiders claiming he wanted the “easy route out of his father’s body”.

Scott was photographed looking noticeably slimmer after a meal with his friends at Catch Steak restaurant in West Hollywood on Saturday night, and fans initially feared his appearance was the result of an undisclosed illness or drug use.

Scott, who lost his parents in 2013 and 2014, has openly struggled with drug and alcohol addiction.

But a close source said: “He is not ill and does not do hardcore drugs. Kourtney would never allow Scott to spend so much time with their children if he was in the grip of an addiction.

“Scott started taking Ozempic because he was having serious problems with weight gain. This time last year he considered himself fat.

“He had gained a lot of weight and couldn’t bear to see himself in the video footage released in recent months. He would go to great lengths to hide it.

“Scott wanted the easy way out of his father’s body. But now it’s clearly gone too far and, of course, the family is worried about him.

The source added: “They’ll probably use this for show ratings in The Kardashians. Scott is strong and will be able to cope – especially now that he knows it has become a huge problem with his image and fame.

Scott’s well-being became a topic of conversation last year following an episode of the popular Hulu reality show in which Khloe expressed concerns about his health after he suffered a back injury .

The star’s struggles began in August 2022 after a car accident that flipped her Lamborghini.

The source said: “As he got older, it didn’t help that he compared himself to Travis – and Travis being thin didn’t help.”

The star, like many in Hollywood, wanted to use this miracle drug as a quick way to shed the extra pounds he gained after Kourtney left and injured his back.

The insider added: “After the photos were released, those close to Scott realized how dire the situation was.”

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 Kardashian 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.”

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.

Kourtney eventually convinced him to enter rehab for a month’s stay.

He was also hospitalized for alcohol poisoning in June 2020.

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.

Scott was in a long-term relationship with Kourtney Kardashian from 2006 to 2015. The former couple, pictured in October 2013, share three children.

He was later seen leaving Offsunset nightclub with bombshell Sarah Bauer, 28, who was identified by Page Six.
