Just hours after E! News reported Scott Disick had checked himself into rehab, TMZ broke the news that he had already checked himself out, due to his trip to the ‘hab being exposed in the press!
According to E! the reality TV star and Kardashian baby daddy has been in a “really bad place” while quarantining, and checked into rehab at the urging of his current girlfriend, Sofia Richie, and ex-girlfriend, Kourtney Kardashian.
E! quoted a source that said Sofia was “extremely concerned with the choices [Scott] was making and how out of control he became very quickly.”
This led Sofia to seek the help of Scott’s baby mama, Kourtney, and together the women reportedly gave him an ultimatum to get him to agree to enter a rehab center. Scott agreed and flew to the All Points North Lodge in Edwards, Colorado, where he’s been since last week.
On Monday, though, photos surfaced online of the Flip It Like Disick star at the rehab facility. TMZ reports that Scott believes a staff member at the rehab facility took and sold the photos of him checking into the center.
Just hours after the pictures surfaced online, Scott’s attorney, Marty Singer, released a statement informing the public that Scott had left the All Points North Lodge due to being exposed, and that he plans to pursue legal action against the facility for breaching Scott’s privacy.
“Shockingly as a result of the HIPAA violation of the facility and his violation of privacy, [Scott] has checked himself out and is immediately returning home,” Marty Singer said in the statement. “We are alarmed by this extreme invasion of privacy and plan to take immediate legal action.”
Scott’s attorney also denied rumors that Scott was in rehab for alcohol and cocaine abuse. The lawyer states that Scott was actually there to deal with traumas from his past.
“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,” he said.
Scott is no stranger to rehab. He has been to various rehab facilities at least three times in the past, usually at the urging of Kourtney, who is the mother of his three children. This time was no different, according to E!
The site’s source says Kourtney “knew something was off” with her ex when he stopped responding to conversations that involved their kids.
“She had been through this before many times, and put a halt to it immediately,” the site’s source stated. “She ultimately gave him an ultimatum and he had no choice but to seek help.”
Scott, Kourtney and Sofia have all remained silent on social media regarding this incident, and none had released any further statements at press time.

I honestly hope that this facility figures out who leaked this clearly obvious facility photo. It wasn’t a paparazzi photo or a pic taken by another patient. It’s clearly a photo taken with some sort of medical record number on it
Kris is outraged somebody leaked it to the press before she could
I don’t doubt he’s having issues but it’s so wrong that they violated his privacy like this.
I don’t typically like anything Kardashian related, but that is so so wrong that someone would invade his privacy like that. It sounds like he is really struggling, and now he is burned by a place that was supposed to help him. I think he is justified in suing the facility
He’s such a catch. Right Sofia?
The Lord isn’t a quitter. I think he just needs a little adjustment to the weed to coke to booze ratio. We have all been there. Pandemic has him a little off his A game,
stay lit, the Lord is
What an invasion of privacy. I feel bad for the guy..tryng to get help and gets totally violated.
That’s terrible! Scott does have grounds for a legal case. I’ve worked in a rehab before, it’s a federal mandate to privacy, I believe 42cfr (it’s been a few years). Theres a lot of laws in place for confidentiality and a rehab trip is so personal.
Maybe I’m an a$$hole but people are dying and on ventilators. There aren’t enough masks to go around. Calm the F down Scott & the Kardashian’s who are literally famous for nothing! Take your millions and go to another rehab. Remind me to care later about your shocking HIPPA violation. Are we sure that Kris, the momager didn’t sell the story to TMZ? Ya might wanna check before filing that lawsuit!
While I do understand your point, that there is a pandemic going on, one person’s struggle does not invalidate another’s. Just because someone is on a ventilator does not mean that Scott’s addiction problem is invalid and he has no right to be upset.
People with addiction issues, mental health issues, and other illnesses didn’t just vanish into thin air because of covid-19. That’s an incredibly ignorant and downright dangerous viewpoint to take. A pandemic doesn’t cancel out other health problems. It’s nasty to imply these people should suck it up. These are scientifically proven health/ mental health issues. It is not within these patients control. Maybe hate on this guy and the K clan for the MANY controllable screw ups in their history. Don’t insult millions of others including many of us here on this board. You have so many downvotes for a reason.
Hi, Kris! Did Gemma rub a nerve when she called you out?
So I was trying to be sarcastically funny. I don’t call people on this board ignorant for their opinions. Everyone has a right to their own opinion whether you agree with theirs or not. Trying to point out the “ignorance” of someone’s opinion or the “downvotes” as if to shame them probably isn’t nice either. I have thick skin, I can take it. But, be mindful of the fact that others may not be able to. I respect your opinion and those of anyone else’s here.

Your statement sounds very hypocritical. You were just bullying an addict who was seeking treatment. Money doesnt buy sobriety.
I guess our humor must not be as evolved as yours, maybe take your “hilarious” skit to stand-up and see how well it does…
Maybe don’t get so upset about other people’s comments? I personally called Scott and bullied him? Hmm, didn’t realize that. Guess your right, maybe you aren’t as evolved as I am. Have a nice day!?
