In one of his rare recent interviews, Scott Disick, the ex-partner of Kourtney Kardashian, boasted of how he didn’t need the Kardashians and their reality show, the E!-produced Keeping Up with the Kardashians, to stay afloat because he’d always been endowed with the ability to make a lot of money.

That may very well be true, but why strain yourself when the Kardashians are there, willing to pay up? A new report cited by Yahoo! News says that Disick is about to receive a major payoff in exchange for his silence.

Scott is eager to talk, but probably won’t

Scott and Kourtney, with whom he has 3 children, ended their 9-year relationship this summer, amid claims that he’d cheated on her with an ex-girlfriend. In the past couple of weeks, he’s been stepping out with an 18-year-old model, while Kourt has been posting revealing but artsy portraits of herself on social media. As one Kardashian does in such situations.

Behind closed doors, though, things are getting tense. Scott has been threatening the family to spill the beans to the media and reveal everything about his relationship with Kourtney and every little detail he has of the family.

The Kardashians being a huge brand these days, having their dirty laundry aired like that is the last thing they want, so they’re willing to pay a fortune, if that’s what it takes for him to shut up. Apparently, they’re drawing up a $20 million (€17.6 million) for Scott.

“Scott’s just gone from bad to worse. He talks a good talk, but the family has had enough, and they are all closing ranks around him now,” an insider is quoted as saying. “Once he signs that $20m settlement with all the bans on tell-alls and spilling family secrets firmly in place, they want to stitch him up so he can no longer find any work in LA.”

Driving Scott out of town

The insider continues: the Kardashians are furious over the way Scott treated Kourtney and they’re out for blood. They won’t stop until they make sure he’s driven out of town, because they believe it’s best this way for Kourtney.

In retrospect, it was probably not a very good idea for him to brag about how he was perfectly capable of making his own millions, Kardashian-free, thankyouverymuch.
