Scott Disick’s lawyer, Marty Singer, told E! News that he checked out of the facility on May 4, 2020. The attorney said, “Shockingly as a result of the HIPAA violation of the facility and his violation of privacy, he has checked himself out and is immediately returning home. We are alarmed by this extreme invasion of privacy and plan to take immediate legal action.”
A source told E!: “Scott checked in last week. He had a lot of guidance from [his ex] Kourtney [Kardashian] and she demanded that he get help.”
TMZ reported that while self-isolating amid the coronavirus pandemic, Scott realized “he had not properly dealt with the death of his parents.” Scott’s attorney told TMZ that his team believes the photo was taken by a rehab staffer, not a fellow patient. This could result in criminal prosecution. After the story was initially reported, Noah Nordheimer, the President and CEO of All Points North Lodge addressed the controversy with TMZ.
He claimed: “The protection of our clients’ personal and confidential information is of the utmost importance to us.” Nordheimer noted that, “if it’s determined that ‘any information relating to any client was ever obtained from APN facilities and provided to a media outlet,” there would be legal action taken against that person. He added that the staff at APN Lodge is “sickened by any publication who would report on an individual’s life struggles without their consent.”
As of this writing, Scott hasn’t directly commented on the situation, nor have the Kardashians.
