'Lay off of Ozempic': Scott Disick sparks concern over gaunt appearance after drastic weight loss

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Insiders allege that Scott Disick's remarkably thin physique and dramatic weight loss are the result of him going "too far" with Ozempic, and that the Kardashians fear for his health.

Concerns over Disick's health peaked on Saturday, March 16, when he made an unexpectedly skinny appearance in West Hollywood. However, an insider stated that his slender appearance is entirely the result of his use of Ozempic.

Scott Disick reportedly wants to get rid of 'dad bod' using Ozempic

The 40-year-old father of three put on weight following a terrifying vehicle accident in 2022 that left him unable to exercise or be active in general due to a back ailment.

Now, the insider claimed that the reality star began using the medication to lose weight in order to shed his "dad bod." According to the insider, Disick "started taking Ozempic because he had serious issues" with his television appearance.

The source further explained, "Scott started taking Ozempic because he had serious issues with his weight gain. This time last year he saw himself as fat."

"He had gained a lot of weight and couldn’t stand seeing himself in video footage that aired in the past couple of months. He would go to great lengths to cover it up."

According to the informant, the actor wanted to utilize the miracle pill as a quick fix for his extra weight gain, much like many other celebrities in Hollywood, per Daily Mail.

They said, "Scott wanted the easy way out of his dad bod. But now it has clearly gone too far and, of course, the family is worried about him."

"They will likely use this for show ratings in The Kardashians. Scott is strong and will be able to get through this – especially now that he knows that it has become a huge problem with his image and fame."

Overall, the insider said, there is no threat to Disick's health. The insider explained, "He is not ill and isn’t doing hardcore drugs. Kourtney would never allow Scott to spend so much time with their kids if he was in the throes of an addiction."

Doctors claim Scott Disick's 'Ozempic face' puts him at risk for infections

Doctors told Daily Mail that Disick's remarkably thin appearance fits the description of Ozempic abuse, as his friends and relatives have surmised.

California plastic surgeon Dr Gary Motykie told Daily Mail, "Typically, medications like Ozempic don't exhibit such aggressive effects."

"However, if Scott is using semaglutide, it might be in an overly aggressive manner, which could exacerbate the issue. The most noticeable change in his appearance is his hollow, dark under-eye area."

Massachusetts plastic surgeon Dr Jeffrey Spiegel concurred, but he also mentioned the possibility of food disorders, drug misuse, and mental health issues.

He further added, "The concern lies in the potential for malnutrition, which is never a positive sign. Scott's skin appears gray, a common sign associated with substance abuse rather than the effects of semaglutide."

Internet reacts to Scott Disick's gaunt appearance

Social media users took to X (formerly Twitter) to express their concerns over Disick's drastic weight loss appearance owing to Ozempic intake.

One such X user stated, "I'm no doctor. But I can tell you that doesn't look healthy."

A second user explained, "It’s not far fetched to understand that Scott is a recovering alcoholic and probably has ALD. weight loss is essential to undoing damage caused by liver disease".

"He looks awful. But then he was never really a good looking guy," added a third user.

One more tweeted, "GOOD GOD SCOTT DISICK NEEDS TO LAY OFF OF THE OZEMPIC".

Another one noted, "Woah - the pics in the article are terrifying. I don’t know much about this guy but I don’t think ozempic is the thing here, that’s more like m3th".
