Scott Disick confirms Mounjaro use on "The Kardashians"

On the February 27 episode of "The Kardashians," Scott Disick confirmed on camera that he had used Mounjaro, the tirzepatide drug approved for type 2 diabetes, after a clip from an earlier season went viral over a box spotted in his refrigerator ^[1]. Khloé Kardashian called Disick, 41, to tell him the old scene had resurfaced online, and he responded, "By the way, I am not embarrassed that I took it! Everyone that has a problem with Mounjaro can suck my d—" ^[1].

The moment capped nearly a year of speculation. Viewers first flagged what looked like Mounjaro packaging when Disick opened his fridge in an earlier episode, but he had stayed quiet about it at the time ^[1]. Mounjaro is approved to help manage diabetes, and the show's report notes it is "used to help diabetes patients with weight management" ^[1].

Disick has talked openly on the show about the physical toll of a 2022 car accident, saying in an October 2023 episode, "I gained a lot of weight here because of my back. Ever since that car accident, [my back pain] got worse over time" ^[1]. Khloé said in a 2023 episode that she was worried, calling it "probably the unhealthiest I've seen him" and noting he was "barely mobile" ^[1]. By 2024, Kris Jenner told him on camera, "Wow somebody has lost a lot of weight. You look great," adding that she had felt he "was not in the best place" ^[1].

In the same February 27 exchange, Khloé pushed back on any shame around the drug, telling Disick, "When I was fat, I would have drank that s—. I don't get the shame in it... when I was thicker, I took laxatives. I would take anything that anyone was pushing" ^[1]. Disick also described nighttime eating habits he said he hadn't recognized as a problem, including "pounding a whole box" of Hawaiian rolls, and said he cut back on ginger ale after realizing it was "the same thing as a soda," saying he had been drinking about 20 a day ^[1].

Why it matters for patients

Disick's on-air admission is a cultural moment, not a medical one, but it lands amid heavy public interest in GLP-1 drugs and how visible their use has become through weight changes that fans track in real time on reality TV and social media. The source material does not say why Disick was prescribed Mounjaro, what dose he used, or how long he stayed on it, so readers should not read his story as guidance about who the drug is right for. Mounjaro's approved use, per the report, is for diabetes management, and any decisions about starting or stopping a GLP-1 medication involve a person's own health history and a clinician's judgment, not a celebrity's experience ^[1].

The episode also reflects a broader shift in how these drugs are discussed publicly. Khloé Kardashian's comment that she "would have drank that" and her comparison to laxative use point to how weight-loss pressure and stigma have shaped choices long before GLP-1 drugs existed, and how some public figures are now choosing to talk about medication use rather than hide it ^[1].

What happens next

New episodes of "The Kardashians" continue airing on Hulu every Thursday, and the source material does not indicate any further comment from Disick beyond the February 27 episode ^[1]. It is not yet known from available reporting whether Disick is still using Mounjaro or what his current treatment status is.
