Scott Disick: Suffering From Severe Liver Disease (Report)
Last week, we reported that Scott Disick was hospitalized after being placed on a 5150 psychiatric hold.
At the time, it was widely assumed that Kourtney Kardashian’s ex had suffered a breakdown as a result of several of months of non-stop drinking and drug use.
However, those closest to Disick maintained that the circumstances that led to the hospitalization were more complex than the media realized.
Now, it looks as though we may know what they were referring to.
“Scott started using drugs and alcohol as a way to escape from his problems,” an unidentified friend of Scott’s told Radar Online last week, adding:
“However, the more he continued to drink, the worse his other problem became.”
The source went on to say that authorities determined that Scott presented a danger to himself, not because of any erratic behavior, but because of his refusal to take life-saving medications.
Sadly, it seems the meds that are reportedly keeping Scott alive are necessary due to the self-destructive fashion in which Disick has lived much of his adult life.
Last month, multiple outlets reported that Disick was suffering from a liver condition widely attributed to his years of heavy drinking and the non-stop bender that comprised his summer, in particular.
Now, insiders close to the reality star are confirming that Disick is indeed in very poor health.
“Kourtney [Kardashian] and Scott know that the incident was caused by him not taking medications that he is prescribed,” says one insider.
According to the source, Kourtney and Kris Jenner called the police when they realized that Scott had gone off his medication while continuing to drink, thus putting his life in danger.
Authorities placed him under a 72-hour psychiatric hold, the longest allowable by law.
During that time, Disick reportedly resumed taking his meds.
Psychiatric holds are considered a last-ditch move that’s reserved solely for potential life-and-death scenarios.
If police determined that Scott going off his meds essentially constituted a suicide attempt, then it seems Disick’s health problems are far more serious than initially thought.
We’ll have further updates on this developing story as more information becomes available.

Scott Disick: Friends Fear Liver Disease as Frightening Bender Continues
Full-blown alcoholism is never funny, but there was a time when Scott Disick’s proclivity for heavy drinking was dismissed as more of a quirky personality trait than a serious threat to his health.
He was like Norm from Cheers, if the rest of the bar had been filled with people who were constantly taking photos of their own butts.
Now, sadly, Scott has reached the point where his drinking is definitively no laughing matter, and fans are said to be deeply concerned for the 34-year-old’s health.
According to Radar Online, Scott is contending with several relatively serious health problems, and his inner circle believes things will only get far worse if he continues on the path that he’s on.
“Scott’s on a fast track to liver disease the way he’s going,” a source close to Scott tells the website.
“His blood pressure’s not good either. There’s absolutely no way his body can carry on like this.”
The insider goes on to detail Scott’s daily booze intake, and it sounds like the father of the three has reached the point of rivaling Hemingway and the other self-destructive drunks of yore:
“He’ll easily down several bottles of champagne in a day, a large bottle of vodka, tequila shots and wine – and that’s not sharing either,” says the source.
Disick has been a heavy drinker for at least as long as he’s been in the public eye, but over the past couple years, the events of his personal life seem to have triggered a dangerous downward spiral that has him careening toward a potentially deadly rock bottom.
Not long after Disick’s parents died within a few months of one another in 2013 and 2014, the reality star began experiencing a succession of rough patches in his marriage to Kourtney Kardashian, many of them of his own creation.
These days, the couple is broken up and sources say Scott’s current bender is the result of his frustrations over Kourtney’s relationship with Younes Bendjima.
The Kardashians find themselves stuck between a rock and a hard place, as they’re reportedly worried about Scott, but at the same time, their top priority is the safety and peace of mind of his three children with Kourtney.
Insiders say Disick will be required to take Breathalyzer tests before seeing his children, so as to ensure that he won’t be spending time with them while intoxicated.
Kris Jenner and company hope the move will force Scott to put the bottle down entirely, as the toll taken by his lifestyle is reportedly beginning to show:
“He’s already starting to look kind of yellow in his pallor which has set off alarm bells his liver could be failing,” the source tells Radar.
“He looks jaundiced and has to get a spray tan to give himself a credible color.”
Here’s hoping Scott gets the help he needs before it’s too late.
