Typically, it’s all fun and games when it comes to the KarJenner clan. However, it’s important to remember that celebrities are human beings just like us. Scott Disick, the father of Kourtney Kardashian’s children, and a KUWTK star in his own right has been struggling with personal issues, which reportedly only grew more pronounced amid social distancing and quarantining recommendations.

Though the Talentless founder seemed to be doing well, many KUWTK fans knew that in the past he had struggled with some substance abuse issues stemming from the shocking and sudden deaths of his parents. Disick’s mother, Bonnie Disick, passed away in October 2013 after a long illness. Sadly, his father, Jeffrey Disick died just three months later.

Disick has struggled to deal with his pain, which caused a great deal of strain between himself and Kardashian. Now that he’s been with his current girlfriend, Sofia Richie, for nearly three years, he could be running into the same issues.

Scott Disick recently checked in and out of rehab

In an effort to get some help, Disick recently flew to Colorado and checked into a rehab center. Unfortunately, Disick’s privacy was violated when someone leaked a photo of him from inside the facility to the press, prompting him to leave the center.

“In an effort to finally come to terms and deal with the pain that Scott has been silently suffering for many years due to the sudden death of his mother, followed by the death of his father 3 months later, Scott made the decision to check himself into a rehab facility last week to work on his past traumas,” Disick’s lawyer Marty Singer said in a statement. “He did not check-in for any alcohol or cocaine abuse. He has checked himself out and is immediately returning home. We are alarmed by this extreme invasion of privacy and plan to take immediate legal action.”

Sofia Richie had become increasingly concerned for Scott Disick’s well being

Richie and Kardashian pushed Disick to seek help after Richie had become increasingly concerned with the real estate mogul’s well-being. “She was extremely concerned with the choices he was making and how out of control he became very quickly,” a source told  E! News. Richie turned to the one person she knew could help, the Poosh founder.

“Kourtney was very upset, and knew something was up by his unresponsiveness to matters and convos that pertained to the kids,” another source explained to E! News. “She had been through this before many times, and put a halt to it immediately. She ultimately gave him an ultimatum and he had no choice but to seek help.”

Scott Disick and Sofia Richie are still in a relationship

Now that Disick’s business is in the streets and he is back home with Richie, there is much concern about their relationship status. However, it appears that their relationship is just as solid as ever.

“They have been through a lot together and Sofia has seen Scott go through very rough patches with his mental state over the years,” another source revealed to E! News. “She was very proud of him when he agreed to get help and expressed that she would be there for him through every step of the way. They have a solid relationship and Sofia wouldn’t walk away from him when he is in a vulnerable state like this.”

Hopefully, Disick is able to get the help he needs.
