Unfortunately, Kourtney Kardashian has once again been hurt and embarrassed by her former partner of nine years, Scott Disick. To recap, Kourtney and Scott, who have three children, split last July. Since then, Scott has completed a full stint in rehab and the family has been sporadically papped enjoying time together. Scott even bought a house close to Kourtney and the kids so he can be involved in their lives. Things seemed to not only be going well, but possibly towards a reconciliation. Not so much any more. Scott chose to vacation recently with the King Dirtbag himself, Joe Francis of Girls Gone Wild, at his Punta Mita home. According to a source, the boys furnished the house with a bunch of models and booze. Naturally, Kourt didn’t take too kindly to any of this:
It’s not hard to read between the lines. Kourtney Kardashian took to Twitter on Friday, March 4, to share a quote about heartache the same night that her ex, Scott Disick, defended his partying ways during an appearance in Las Vegas.
“A smile hides my pain, a hug masks my heartache, and a laugh covers my tears,” the mom of three wrote. Later, when a fan replied to her wise words by noting that pain leads to strength, Kardashian, 36, agreed.
“God knows it’s true,” the reality star replied. “I would never change a thing. Positive vibes always.”
Kardashian’s shared her somber thoughts after photos surfaced showing Disick, 32, partying with pal Joe Francis and several women in Mexico.
Scott defended his Mexico pleasure trip by telling a PEOPLE reporter that, “The truth is I never lied and said that I was never going to have a beer again. I never said I was never going to have a cigarette again. I never lied and said I was never going to go to the beach again. I never lied and said I was not going to be around my friends and their girlfriends and girls and friends.” Scott goes on to explain that he mainly sought treatment for an addiction to sleeping medication and that booze was never his problem. Sources (close to Scott) say that although he did drink in both Mexico and Las Vegas, he wasn’t out of control.
In the meantime, Kourtney gets the kids most of the time and has to find ways to explain to them why the press says things like, “Scott has been saying how things are much easier now that he’s not with Kourtney. She complained way too much and had so many rules. She was never happy and he’s realizing that now. He’s saying how much he is loving life right now!” However, she also gets to throw out the occasional tweet bomb that translates to, ‘Yeah, I know he’s a d-ck.’ I imagine the papped family friendly outing will happen in 3…2…1…
A smile hides my pain, a hug masks my heartache, and a laugh covers my tears.

I know he’s technically a douche but somehow I have a soft spot for Scott. I hope he gets his substance abuse and booze under control but stays the hell away from the Kartrashians (minus his kids of course).
He’s looking crack-ish in the photo up top. He needs to get his stuff together and soon.
He sure is
Same here, Ivy. I like Scott, and I think that their relationship might’ve stood a chance if the women in the Kardashian family weren’t so damn codependent. They’re really like a coven and I think it’s a huge part of the reason that their relationships fail. Scott has his troubles separately from her though and I hope for his sake that he gets it together. He looks REALLY bad.
I’ll say this much–she didn’t do a whole lot to be supportive of him after he lost his parents. Kourtney has been very vocal about how she has forced him to sleep in a separate bed while she locked herself in their bedroom with their kids. My mom lost both of her parents by age 29 and she STILL cries over it 30 years later. I know many people found it very telling that Kourtney forced him to clean his parents’ house out when he wasn’t ready to and got entirely too excited over a piece of art that she believed to be an original. She’s gross, just like the rest of her family. They’re horrifically selfish people and they all lack the bravery to move on with their own lives instead of feeding off of each other.
Their relationship should have ended the moment she got pregnant after he explicitly said he didn’t want more children. She claims it was accidental, but I don’t believe her. She’s too used to getting what she wants to worry about a little things like consent.
I think if he’d ended the relationship right there, he wouldn’t have gone off the deep end quite as badly as he did. Neither of them are perfect, and they both love their kids, but what Kourtney did was beyond the pale.
I feel the same way too. He is an only child and lost both parents. They are too self absorbed to give a rats about him…and you are all going to yell at me but I think Kourtney nagged him to death and she just kept getting pregnant and his head went (that’s the technical term).
Wait a minute, aren’t the Kardashians close friends with Joe Francis? I seem to recall Kris Jenner and the three elder Kardashian sisters partying with Joe at his home in Mexico. Not that gives Scott an excuse for any bad behaviour , but it just seems that the Kardashian’s have some shady people in their social circle
I couldn’t delete my comment that is similar, but yeah, Joe Francis is no one new in their lives. Kinda makes me think this is a nonstory, just something for the press.
The Kardashians have to keep their name in the news until Kanye goes on another Twitter rampage
Well, Kim put out a naked picture, so there you go. I said in the last Kardassian post that those heifers found a way to photoshop without it being obvious; now we have proof.
@Santia – I went on DM to read the article about the nude picture and apparently it is a throwback picture and not a recent one (from what I could get from the story).
I’m convinced they are still together or at least split up amicably and the everything we hear in the press is a story. That just backs that up. I always thought they spun a character for him from day one.
You would be correct – Kim and Kanye just vacationed with Joe and his wife before she was pregnant with Saint. Not to mention that all of the K’s have gone out there repeatedly for vacation. Joe Francis is also the one who helped Kim and Kris broker the deal with vivid for Kims tape. So Kourtney playing the victim for the millionth time makes no sense in this case since Joe is a family friend and they known what happens with and around Joe. Smh.
You recall correctly. They had an episode quite a while ago with the whole Koven kavorting with Joe Francis on the beach, he was doing a model shoot or something with them. They have been good friends for many years and I don’t think his jail time changed that. Perfectly normal to the Kardashians for Scott to party with him.
But Kourtney and Scott’s relationship might actually benefit from the current arrangement – homes near each other, but separate. They can focus on coparenting the kiddies and being friendly co parents and not worry about anything else. If Scott really does have an alcohol or other drug problem and it’s not just another plotline, he needs to get control over that all by himself before he can really work on any relationship anyway. Plus the cameras need to go away forever before those women can have real relationships, and even Kourtney isn’t ready for that.
I am under the impression that Joe Francis has always been a family friend of the Kardashians.
She knew what he was like three kids ago…you can’t cry about it now. She willingly had three kids with a man she knew was like this…
Agree.She should have dumped this loser years ago.I have no sympathy for her at all.
She used him. She wanted kids but not a husband. He was willing. I blame them both for bringing kids into such a chaotic mess of a family.
i can’t understand men like scott (and my dad) who has everything in like, beautiful children, nice spouses, and all and wasting it in alcool, and h***
To be fair to them both, Mason was an unplanned baby whom they decided to keep. I won’t judge that decision, and I can’t judge them for trying to make it work for Mason’s sake.
The other two children, once Kourtney knew that Scott had numerous issues and was not going to mature easily into the responsible family man…? That’s less clear cut. Other Hollywood couples and real-life couples have had ‘band-aid babies’ to try and salvage a relationship. Let’s not act like Kourtney is alone in hanging onto a douchebag boyfriend and trying to fix it however she thought was best, and instead praise that she seems a devoted mother who’s finally now minimized that toxicity in her and her children’s lives.
Even if Mason was mistake, Khourtney should have thought twice before having more children with him. And if she has said Mason is a mistake then I hope he never finds that out.
Considering the entire storyline was filmed for ‘Khloe and Kourtney Take Miami’, from Kourtney’s first suspicions that she was pregnant up to telling Scott, who clearly had no idea …
That’s why I described Mason as ‘unplanned’ rather than a ‘mistake’. ‘Mistake’ implies perpetual, inherent regret, whereas ‘unplanned’ is more neutral. I’m sure lots of couples have unplanned pregnancies that are happy surprises, and Mason is a source of joy to his parents. Ideally his parents should be honest with him that he was unplanned once he’s old enough to understand – anyone and everyone who knows who he is will know – and make it clear that it doesn’t change their love for him.
Swack- Kourtney certainly doesn’t think of Mason as a mistake, but his conception was indeed accidental. She and Scott were broken up at the time and she honestly didn’t know if he was the baby’s father since she had a fling with another guy during the break (she used to be quite the party girl herself). She says she briefly even considered abortion but decided against it. I’m sure she’s never regretted that decision although she was relieved to find out Scott was the father. Her experience with Mason gave her a whole new outlook on life, and she found motherhood (not just handing over the kid to a nanny) suited her and gave her a new purpose. I think it’s been healing for her, being the kind of mother she herself never had. But she wants to be in complete control, which doesn’t work too well. She needs to loosen up a bit and let Scott be a different parent, it’s good for kids to have two adults in their lives with very different approaches.
Kourtney’s relationship with Scott has always been on again, off again. But I think they really do mean something to each other. I don’t think the next two kids were bandaid babies- Kourtney really wanted more children and wanted them by Scott rather than some other guy. Doesn’t mean she expected things to change in their in and out relationship. All this going to a lawyer thing seems more like a setup for the show. It wasn’t needed. Kourtney has always resisted the idea of formal marriage.
I always got the impression that she wanted a family of her own and figured he would do as the father.
@Rachael – thought I had read that you said “mistake” – Sorry. I just hope she has never said that where it is written down for all to see. @jwoolman – I’m not saying she regretted that decision. Just that no one should ever say that the child they have conceived is a mistake. I read wrong (or thought I did).
Like everyone said Joe is a friend of the Kardashian clan and we all know he’s shady. But again I have zero sympathy for Scott who can’t get his ish together or Kourtney who knew what a douche he was before kid #1.
Didn’t she break up with him? (Justified, I agree). Then why do you cry in your public Twitter soup about the fact that your notoriously dude bro douche ex is partying with a family friend? Oh wait, it is a Kardashian… Gotta get that name out in the press somehow, and each of these women have their type of kash kow: one struts naked, one says disgusting things on social media, one tries to get the pity vote, one is becoming the second coming of the first, and the last one gets to work hard on runways with her other “my parents bought me a modeling gig” friends.
Agree. I felt hard-hearted when I read her tweet. It was so self-pitying and melodramatic. You’re separated. Move on, or have some dignity or something.
She also hid her heartache by – allegedly – boffing Justin Bieber. Those kids deserve at least one semi-sensible parent.
“A smile hides my pain…” How often does she smile? Anything for attention. And I agree with you guys ^^^.
Me too GoodNames. Also she is very cold hearted towards him. Yes, I know he has his issues but there was nothing about there relationship that ever gave me the impression she cared about him more than just tolerated him. She let her family treat him like crap, didn’t care when he was depressed and when both his parents died months apart she was super bitchy and thought he should just get over it. She only cared about clearing out his parents Hampton’s house of all their valuables.
If he was publicly on vacation with another woman and had been gone for something like 2 months, can you really say that Kourtney did the dumping?
‘A smile hides my pain, a hug masks my heartache, and a laugh covers my tears.’
Wow that’s almost a haiku. Albeit a stupid maudlin one.
And a blanket covers my freaking bed. See? I can do poetry too!
@Neelyo: Yep. At least she didn’t write a memoir of how terrible her partner is and accept no responsibility, ala Khloe and her pity parties. Smile and the world smiles with you, cry and you cry alone. Worry not, Kourtney sympathizers, her next tweet will be promoting her game app. She is a Kardashian after all.
Maudlin. That’s the word I was looking for.
It’s childish. A grown woman writing such nonsense for some attention is pathetic. They are an incredibly immature and undeveloped bunch.
That is actually an extract from the lyrics of the next Michael Bolton song….
Makes sense it was Michael Bolton’s words and not hers. She’s more of a repeater of a quote than to actually think of one herself.
A depressed alcoholic and a weak women who lives in the shadow of her sister. It appears he has more than addiction problems and it could take years, if ever, for him to take rehab seriously and get straightened out. I don’t foresee an “and they lived happily ever after” on this episode of the KUWTK, although I hope I’m wrong.
I agree that sounds like she’s looking for sympathy but besides that, I don’t agree with the thought of “oh she knew who he was 3 kids ago. She made a choice, and probably though he would slow down eventually. I’m not saying she shouldn’t have seen the red flags back then, and ended it, but I mean, it happens in life, especially when we care about someone. We think it’s gonna get better. They had kids willingly, he’s no victim and neither is she, and to me Kourtney and Scott were the closest to a real relationship that wasn’t just for show.
I think that although she does milk the cow of the KJ fame, she’s by far the most discreet one, even when famewhoring and she does put her kids first always. Of everyone, I only ever feel sympathy for her in that family.
And no, I don’t believe that men are innocent victims of the Kardashians, they all go in there willingly, they agree on being on the show and have their dirty laundry aired out. If they didn’t, they would have made them all sign papers not to disclose anything (which is what I suspect Kanye did, he’s rarely on the show, and you rarely ear personal – in the bedroom kind of gossip from him from “sources close to the family”). Besides, Kanye does the damage himself. So, the Kardashians are professionals at getting their name repeated thousands of times a week, and these men go in there knowing what they are getting into.
Agree completely! Mason was unplanned and both Scott and Kourtney were quite young when they had to make a difficult decision about whether to keep the baby, whether to raise it together, whether to try again with their relationship. The pressure of trying to raise a baby together – I can completely see how that might make you think twice about leaving someone as opposed to if you had no permanent ties to them.
It frustrates me too when people see the Kardashians’ husbands and boyfriends as victims. Scott clearly knew that a relationship with Kourtney on ‘Khloe and Kourtney Take Miami’ would help his reputation and career in the nightclub business, and he seized that opportunity when he saw it. As you say, Kanye has been an extremely minimal presence on the show.
She was 30. That’s not quite young.
Point taken – the plastic surgery has befuddled how old I think any of them are. But the rest of my comment still stands. It’s a crazy tough decision, whether to keep a baby when the father is someone you like, and can maybe see settling down to be with you, but you really have no idea if it would work.
This thing with Joe Francis is rubbish though. According to Wikipedia, Kourtney and Scott met at one of his parties.
Kourtney and Scott were together on and off for a long time before she got pregnant with Mason, though. She was 30, had money, and apparently always wanted a family.
Rachel- Kourtney had minimal plastic surgery (nose job and breast enhancement) long ago and unlike her sisters, has always admitted it. She is actually the oldest, but looks younger and much prettier precisely because she hasn’t messed with herself the way they have. If you look at Kourtney, you can see how well Kim could have aged if she hadn’t become addicted to plastic surgery so early.
I agree fully. I can’t tolerate the Ks and their underserved wealth and exposure, but this relationship seems the most real to me. People meet, things happen, babies are born and they tried to make the best of it. She’s done a hell of a job, I think, and I can at least give her credit for being a good mother in the midst of this screwed up family. I really do hope the best for her and Scott, and I don’t mean by getting back together, but a long term balance for their children because, god help me, I have hope that Kourtney’s brood will turn out okay.
Do you really think Mason was unplanned? I don’t buy that at all.
This is so disingenuous. They’ve always known Joe Francis-this is not new. And furthermore, when Scott was interested in marrying Kourtney, she was clearly not interested and went out of her way to treat him badly. So if he wants to get on with his life and go party in Mexico with someone that they both know, I don’t see how this is now an issue.
I don’t know much about this family and I try to avoid anything to do with them at all costs. But Kourtney seems to be the most relatable of the bunch.
Oh for f*cks sakes he has ALWAYS been this way. When she had kid number 1 he was a mess, kid number 2 a bigger mess, and kid number 3 the biggest mess. She kept having kids with a guy she knew was a drunk and a loser but she didn’t care. Now we are all supposed to feel sorry for her. I feel sorry for the writers of their show, without Scott Kourtney has no storyline. Oh what will they ever do? Please.
Then why stay with the guy? I don’t get it, you can only give a person so many chances. If they don’t and won’t change for themselves or the children, that is what you will have to continuously put up with. Don’t cry and complain when you catch him time and again doing the same thing. That’s a really bad example for your children, seeing their father disrespect their mother like it’s nothing, and their mother just taking it. What a doormat.
As If! It’s all part of the ‘story line’ to garner ratings. Nothing more.
Kourtney smiles!?
