Yesterday, Scott Disick announced plans to sue a Colorado rehab for leaking photos and false information about his stay at their facility.
An insider told Entertainment Tonight the father-of-three recently checked himself into the facility for substance abuse issues.
Disick’s attorney Marty Singer tells E! News that the treatment center then leaked an alleged photo of the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star in a Zoom group meeting and published it online.
What’s more, Singer denies Disick sought help for issues related to substance abuse. Instead, he claims the 36-year-old checked into rehab due to the ongoing grief he’s felt following deaths of his parents in 2013 and 2014.
“My team and I are aware of the information publicised on May 4, 2020, by the Daily Mail and other media sources regarding All Points North (APN) Lodge, the protection of our clients’ personal and confidential information is of the utmost importance to us,” Noah Nordheimer, President and CEO of All Points Lodge, told Us in a statement one day after Disick left the treatment center.
Nordheimer added: “It is APN’s strict policy to not publicly disclose patient-specific information, including whether or not a particular client is or was being treated at our facility, or has inquired about our services. If it were determined that any information relating to any client was ever obtained from APN facilities and provided to a media outlet, APN will take all legal action available against that individual, including cooperating with law enforcement and other governmental authorities.”
While the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star’s visit to the lodge was not for drug or alcohol-related issues, the reasoning behind his stay was still deeply personal.
ET’s source says both Scott’s ex, Kourtney Kardashian, and his current girlfriend, Sofia Richie, influenced his decision to seek help.
“Scott Disick has entered rehab for substance abuse issues,” the source says. “Scott has struggled with these issues for a while and although he was previously doing well, it was time for him to get help again.”
“Kourtney and Sophia were a big proponent in having Scott enter rehab in Colorado,” the source continues. “At the end of the day, Scott needs to be clean to be around his children and family and that’s everyone’s main focus right now … is Scott’s sobriety and the kids having a healthy father.”
According to The Daily Mail, who was first to report the news, Scott has been struggling with family life quarantine amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The report also claims that he is continuing to have a hard time dealing with the loss of both his parents a few years ago.
