The 32-year-old reality star – whose split from long-term girlfriend Kourtney Kardashian was revealed this week – was urged to seek help by friends after returning from a trip to Monte Carlo so agreed to check into a facility, only to change his mind hours later.

A source told Us Weekly magazine: “Friends got really worried about Scott after he went on a bender during his France trip and urged him to enter a rehab facility.”

It was recently claimed Scott – who checked into Costa Rica’s Rhythmia Life Advancement clinic in March – has been partying hard to “rebel” against the “crazy responsibility” of having three children, Mason, five, Penelope, three, and Reign, six months.

A source close to the ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’ star said: “He loves his kids. But he was never ready to be a stay-at-home dad. Scott rebels against the crazy responsibility of having three kids.”

Kourtney, 36, is said to have ended their relationship last weekend after he was spotted canoodling with ex-girlfriend Chloe Bartoli in the South of France.

The insider said: “He acts out, he drinks too much and he embarrasses Kourtney. It was becoming a poor environment for the kids to be raised in, and she refused to let that be the case. They are her first priority.”
