The Kardashians are known for many things; their Armenian heritage, strong family bond, curvaceous bodies (Rob now included), interracial relationships, exploiting their children on reality television, etc, however this list does not include long-lasting relationships.
For the 2.54 million season 10 KUWTK watchers, this is nothing new. We watched on as Kim’s $10 million wedding to Kris Humphries ended in divorce just seventy-two days later. Before "The Hump," she was married to music producer Damon Thomas. Khloe’s marriage to Lamar went up in flames in 2013 and she has since had an entire relationship with French Montana, which I was really rooting for because I've always thought Khloe would find success in the rap industry. Their matriarch, Kris Jenner, is not immune to the break-up bug either; her husband of 22 years is now a woman, whose son is trying to find a nice, new chick to set her up with.
Unfazed, we all keep watching and waiting for the next suitor.
Through this 10 season long mess, a beacon of light was found in Scott Disick. The consistently inconsistent three-time baby daddy to Kourtney has been around since 2006- aka pre-KUWTK. Although his alcohol problem repeatedly had Kourtney “so done” with him, he always came back. If you love something, tell it to go to rehab. If it comes back, it is yours until the next Vegas bender.
Now, it would appear the two are actually done. Scott has reportedly switched from brunettes to brondes as he was spotted fondling LA based stylist, Chloe Bartoli. In addition to flirting with women who aren't Kourtney, the family cites his partying ways, his habit of disappearing for days at a time and doing what's best for the children as reasons for the split.This is of little interest to me because I know they will be back together as soon as their newest son, Reign is like one and a half years old and Kourtney is ready for baby number four. However, Scott’s absence on KUWTK will be very real to viewers and here is why:
He’s the comic relief
Scott cracks jokes like a previously fat child who had to craft a crowd-pleasing sense of humor to compensate for their chubbiness. Sometimes he’s unsuccessful in his attempts to be funny, however you can’t help but appreciate that he’s the only one in the family who can make people laugh with his wit and not some sort of weirdly sexual sibling wrestling match (see: Rob, Kendall and Kylie).
He’s the only one left with any sense of reality.
This seems completely backwards considering Scott parties like a 23-year-old bachelor while his wife and three children and (never pictured) nannies all sit at home. However his upper middle class upbringing gives Scott a different outlook on life. He’s the only one to ever point out when the girl’s problems are only #richpeopleprobems and therefore not problems at all.
His own problems are real and somewhat relatable.
Both of his parents just died and he has three children despite never really seeming to want any of them. Note to Kourtney: you can take the boy out of the party by having a baby and insisting he stay home Friday night, but you can’t take the party out of the boy.
With that said, I leave you with the words of Twitter user @LesaMonroe:
It won't be the same without you, Scott!
