The Kardashians: Why Scott Disick Needs Khloé As A Friend
Scott Disick appears in The Kardashians, and his friendship with Khloe Kardashian seems to be very important to him. As he navigates the realities of Kourtney Kardashian's engagement with Travis Barker, some fans think that he's clinging to Khloe for emotional support. Of course, his bond with her also helps him to get screen time on the new Hulu series. Now that his possible reconciliation with Khloe seems much less possible than it used to be, he needs a storyline, and his cozy chats with Khloe may fit the bill.
In the past, Scott had no trouble grabbing screen time on Keeping Up With the Kardashians. However, times have changed. When it comes to The Kardashians, there's a new man who is getting attention, and it's Kourtney's fiance, Travis. He's a reality TV alum who used to appear on Meet the Barkers. Now, he's sharing meals with the Kardashian clan, except Scott, and generally making himself at home in the Kar-Jenner's glitzy world. This surely rankles Scott, whose leaked DMs to Kourtney's ex Younes Bendjima were exposed, causing a rift between Scott and Kourtney. Scott can be jealous over Kourtney, and his inability to tame the green-eyed monster is an ongoing problem.
As the first episode of The Kardashians' debut season showed, Scott is already feeling excluded by the family he's been so close to for so long. He is feeling left out as the awkwardness between him and Kourtney means that he isn't invited to family events the way that he used to be. When he feels bad, he does have someone to turn to, and that is Khloe. She's also experienced a lot of ups and downs, and she's a good shoulder to cry on. In fact, Scott and Khloe have amazing chemistry, but they've never gotten romantic. People have commented on their sometimes-flirty vibe, but Scott's desire to reconcile with his ex and Khloe's loyalty to family keep them platonic.
Scott is at a pivotal point in his life. He needs to regroup since the dream of getting back together with Kourtney is dying. This impacts his reality TV career, in addition to his personal life. With Khloe as his confidante, he is able to express his feelings onscreen, where fans of the new Hulu series can hear his point of view and see his emotions. Scott from The Kardashians has his detractors, but a lot of people wish that he and Kourtney would sort out their problems, marry, and raise their kids under one roof. However, Kourtney appears to be madly in love with her fiance.
Scott is licking his wounds publicly, with Khloe as a sounding board. Until Scott's life features some new and dramatic twist, such as a new and serious relationship, he may spend most of his The Kardashians screen time with Kourtney's sister, Khloe. While Scott has been linked with Holly Scarfone from Too Hot To Handle, a Daily Mail report featured an insider who declared that their relationship is "fake." If that story is true, it does paint a picture of a man who knows that he needs a high-profile relationship to compete with the buzz that Kourtney and Travis are getting each and every day. Scott may be all too aware that his value as a reality star and influencer is tied to Kourtney, and that his troubled relationship with her isn't helping his personal brand.
Meanwhile, Khloe is there to help him make the transition to a new life while Kourtney is preparing to be another man's wife. Since Khloe has romantic woes of her own, these two have plenty in common. As Khloe shares her stress over haters who taunt her due to her failed relationship with Tristan Thompson, she may naturally have a lot of compassion for Scott, who's basically in the same boat. However, their onscreen friendship may not be entertaining enough to electrify The Kardashians viewers.
