Scott Disick’s secret weapon for kicking Mounjaro revealed after he was forced to ‘face a level of accountability’
Scott Disick stopped taking weight-loss drugs after his teenage son forced him to take “responsibility” for sparking widespread concern about his extreme dieting.
Scott’s health was called into question earlier this year when the 41-year-old looked noticeably thinner, with many fans wondering if he had turned to Ozempic.
However, eagle-eyed viewers later spotted boxes of the miracle weight loss drug that Mounjaro had stored in his fridge during an episode of The Kardashians.
After multiple reported attempts by loved ones to help the reality star curb his using, insiders have told DailyMail.com that it was 14-year-old Mason’s decision to move in with his father that ultimately forced the Talentless founder’s hand to change something.
“Scott had to come off the weight-loss drugs and Mason was the main reason for that,” the source said. “Mason moving in full-time was a complete game changer.”

They explained that Mason had no problem speaking his mind and confronting his father during his struggles.
“It has given him a level of responsibility he has never had before and it has been an incredibly positive experience,” they said.
‘They’re like best friends. Scott was struggling before that, but Mason calls him out.”
Life with his teenage son also made Scott reassess the example he sets for the three children he shares with ex-girlfriend Kourtney Kardashian, 45.
“Scott is trying to teach Mason how to be healthy and live a healthy lifestyle and needs to lead by example,” the insider continued.
“Mason is at an age where he doesn’t tolerate everything, and he’s incredibly smart.”
The insider confirmed that Scott has officially given up his dependence on the weight loss shots and has a personal chef to help him manage his food intake.
“Now he looks and feels good,” they said. “Instead of his personal chef making unhealthy food, his chef cooks healthy food and Scott has gotten used to it.”

Scott finally feels so “confident” that dating is “on the table.”
Like the celebrity favorite Ozempic, Mounjaro is a diabetes drug that is also used to help people shed the pounds.
It was the season five premiere episode of Hulu’s The Kardashians in May where Scott accidentally revealed what appeared to be two packs of Mounjaro in his refrigerator.
The slimming shot was on the door above a number of neatly arranged cartons of almond milk.
The sighting came after fans commented Scotts marked weight loss after packing on the pounds due to a back injury following a nasty car accident in 2022.
“He thought he looked good because he was thinner again, without realizing it wasn’t healthy,” an insider told DailyMail.com in April.
‘Scott has been incredibly attractive and fit all his life and is not having the best time accepting age is catching up with him.’
Earlier this year, the doting dad showed his pride in his eldest child after Mason graduated from 8th grade.

The TV star shared a photo with the young teen and a friend standing in front of Nobu Malibu.
‘Congratulations 2 my best friend in the world on his graduation [sic] high school and now on to high school! Let’s go mart!’, he captioned the photo.
Scott and Kourtney are also parents to daughter Penelope, 12, and son Reign, nine.
Although Mason has shunned the spotlight in recent years, the teen chose to join Instagram in May.
His aunts Kim and Khloe Kardashian made it clear they weren’t sure how to feel about the milestone, when Kim commented, “You’re actually on Instagram.”
“I can’t believe this is happening,” Khloe, 39, wrote.
“I’m not doing well,” she added with crying emojis. ‘He’s a real teenager. The one who calls us KiKi and KoKo.”

Kourtney and Scott had Mason delete an account in 2020 when he joined without their permission.
His TikTok account was also previously disabled for terms of service violations, as users had to be 13 or older and Mason was 10 years old at the time.
Kourtney is currently married to Travis Barker, with whom she has a one-year-old son Rocky.
Scott, who enjoyed a night out in Beverly Hills on Friday, is currently single and has been dating Sofia Richie and Amelia Hamlin in the wake of his split from Kourtney.
