Scott Disick has been slammed by fans for happily telling his 11-year-old daughter Penelope that he will continue to date teenagers – despite the teen’s pleas to date someone closer to his own age.
The 40-year-old reality star has made headlines for years thanks to his relationships with much younger stars such as Sofia Richie – when she was 19 and he was 34 – and the latest episode of The Kardashians made it clear that his only daughter was not happy with his great romances with age differences.
During a chat at Scott’s home with Kris Jenner and Khloe Kardashian about what he would look for in a new romance, Penelope teased: “You’re 40. You’re not going to date a 19-year-old.”
Scott – who dated 19-year-old Amelia Hamlin when he was 37 – replied: “I would, but it’s not a good look.”
Fans immediately took to social media and message boards to share their shock at the conversation, with many slamming Scott for his “horrible” comments.

His child asked the 40-year-old in the latest episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians to go for someone ‘older’, but he admitted that he would still go for the 19-year-old.
One shocked viewer wrote: ‘To look your ELEVEN year old in the eye and tell her, after she’s already made it clear that someone in her 20s would be awfully young for you, that you’re going to date a NINETEEN year old is so fucked* * *disgusting.’
Another agreed: “So disgusting and pathetic. Imagine your dad telling you that! Sickening.’
“When your own teenage daughter tells you that you shouldn’t date 19 year olds because you’re 40… that’s an invitation to bury your head in shame Scott,” declared a third fan.
One viewer commented: ‘Telling that to your 11 (?)-year-old daughter who’s only 8 years away from 19 while he’s 40 – soooo).
To which another replied: ‘She’ll be hitting on her friends in 8 years.’
One fan simply said: ‘Imagine saying that to your child.’
“This is actually disgusting, it’s not even funny.” I’m 31 and I can’t even imagine being attracted to a 19 year old, someone else added.
One disgusted fan added: ‘What the hell? A dad telling his 11 year old daughter that she wants to date teenagers is so fucking sick and twisted I can’t even believe they aired this.’
Fans immediately took to social media and message boards to share their shock at the conversation, with many slamming Scott for his “horrible” comments
Another fan stated: “For Scott to say ‘I would!'” to his 11-year-old daughter after (rightly) suggesting he doesn’t date 19-year-old girls….
“You’re telling me the Kardashians are the executive producers of this show and didn’t let that get into the room, if only for Penelope’s sake?” jfc.’
“This poor girl 🙁 At that age you should think your dad is a hero, the best guy in the world….she knows her dad is a stinking jerk,” read one comment.
“At least he’s not afraid to speak his mind.”
On the Keeping Up With the Kardashians episode, Scott was talking about his dating life — or lack thereof — at his home when Penelope showed up.
Disick has previously dated other much younger women like Kristin Burke and Bella Thorne, so when Khloe asked Penelope what she wanted, the first thing his kid said was, ‘Older.’
Khloe replied, “Yeah, older than what he’s used to. He said late twenties, but I said, yes, 30s is fine.’
Penelope said, ‘No, 20s? You are 40 years old. You’re not going to date someone at 19’, as Scott admitted: ‘I would, but it’s not a good look.’
Penelope added: “Good personality, she can be beautiful,” as Scott jokes, “Oh, I’m allowed to have beauty? Thank you.’

Scott’s daughter added that she should also be “someone who goes to the gym, because you have to go to the gym.”
Her father replied, “Okay, I think we’ve got the basics down, but you never know until you meet someone,” to which Penelope admitted, “I want her to have a girlfriend.”
Chris stated in the confessional: ‘This isn’t going to end without some drastic changes here, so I’m going to take matters into my own hands, I’m going to do some s***, I’m going to make some calls, I’m going to get some people and we’re going to make it happen.’
Scott added that it was ‘so funny’ that Penelope exclaimed: ‘You’re 40!’
The episode then cuts to Khloe Kardashian and Kris Jenner arriving at Scott Disick’s house, as Kris explains in a confessional: ‘Khloe and I are checking on Scott today because I think his back is really broken.’
Scott compliments Chris and says he likes the suits on her, but Khloe says, “She always wears freaking suits,” but Scott insists, “Well, not always,” as Chris asks how his back is.
“It still hurts a lot. I mean, I still think I have to have surgery because I saw a different doctor,” as Khloé asks if he did physical therapy.
“But it doesn’t help, like…” as Kris immediately switches gears and asks if she’s dating anyone, which Khloe jokingly thought was “so subtle.”
In the episode, Khloe tells Penelope, “I want to talk to your dad like a matchmaker, but what qualities should we look for in a girl?”
The first thing Penelope says is “Older,” referring to Scott’s consistent tendency to date much younger women
Scott’s daughter adds that she should also be “someone who goes to the gym, because you should go to the gym.”
However, the pre-teen has made it clear that she would like her father to get into a serious relationship in the near future
‘Well I’m dying to know. That’s the question everyone wants to know,” Chris says, but Scott says, “I’ve been focusing too much on me as the kids and me.”
Khloe asks if he’s ever lonely, and he says, “Yeah, all the time. I guess I can’t just live with my kids, but Khloe says with a smile, “I can.
Scott adds, “Okay, so can I,” but when Chris says, “I could,” Khloe checks her and says, “Mom, you’ve never been alone…ever. Literally since you came out of MJ’s fucking vagina, you’ve never been alone, so calm down.’
Chris adds in his confession: “Listen, I can’t help being popular. It’s just something, you know, I was born with.’
Chris asks if she’s going somewhere to meet someone, as Scott quips, ‘What, strip clubs?’
Chris continues: “If you had the opportunity to meet the perfect girl, what does it look like on paper?”
Scott then turns and asks Chloe how tall she is, as everyone laughs, as Kris admits in a confessional, “I think Scott’s probably in love with Chloe. Listen, I’m in love with Khloe. Everyone is in love with Khloe. All the cameramen are in love with Khloe. Paxie is in love with Khloe. You know, if we could just get someone to come closer… we know what he’s looking for.’
