Scott Disick has been lambasted by fans for gleefully telling his 11-year-old daughter, Penelope, that he will continue to date teens – despite the tween’s pleas for him to romance someone closer to his age.

The 40-year-old reality star has made headlines for years thanks to his relationships with significantly younger stars such as Sofia Richie – when she was 19 and he was 34 – and the most recent episode of The Kardashians made it clear that his only daughter was not comfortable with his large age-gap romances.

During a conversation in Scott’s home with Kris Jenner and Khloe Kardashian about what he would be looking for in a new romance, Penelope teased: ‘You’re 40. You’re not gonna date someone 19.’

Scott – who dated 19-year-old Amelia Hamlin when he was 37 – replied: ‘I would, but it’s not a good look’.

Fans immediately took to social media and message boards to share their shock at the conversation, with many slamming Scott for his ‘gross’ comments.

Scott Disick has been lambasted by fans for telling his 11-year-old daughter, Penelope, that he will continue to date teens

The 40-year-old was asked to go for someone ‘older’ by his child in the latest episode of The Kardashians, but he admitted he would still go for a 19-year-old

One shocked viewer wrote: ‘Looking your ELEVEN year old child in the eyes and telling her, after she’s already made it clear that someone in their 20s would be grossly young for you, that you would date a NINETEEN year old, is so f***ing disgusting.’Another agreed: ‘So gross and pathetic. Imagine your DAD saying that to you! Sickening.”When your own preteen daughter tells you that you shouldn’t be dating 19 year olds because you’re 40… That’s an invitation to go bury your head in shame Scott,’ a third fan stated.One viewer commented: ‘Saying that to his 11 (?) year old daughter who is only 8 years away from 19 while he is 40 – soooo gross.’To which another replied: ‘He’ll be hitting on her friends in 8 years’ time.’One fan simply stated: ‘Imagine saying that to your child.”This is actually disgusting, it’s not even funny. I’m 31 and I can’t even imagine being attracted to a 19-year-old,’ someone else added.One appalled fan added: ‘What the actual f***? A dad telling his 11-year-old daughter he wants to date teenagers is so f***ing sick and twisted I can’t even believe they aired this.’

Another fan stated: ‘ For Scott to reply to his 11 year old daughter with “well I would!” after she (rightfully) suggests not dating 19 year old girls….’You’re telling me the Kardashians are the executive producers of this show and didn’t let that hit the cutting room floor if not only for Penelope’s sake? jfc.”This poor girl 🙁 At that age you should think your dad is your hero, the best guy in the world…. she knows her dad is a stinky creep,’ one comment read. ‘At least she’s not afraid to speak her mind.’ In the episode of The Kardashians, Scott was chatting about his dating life – or lack thereof – in his home when Penelope appeared.Disick has previously dated other much younger women like Christine Burke and Bella Thorne, so when Khloe asked Penelope what she wanted, the first thing his child said was: ‘Older.’Khloe responded: ‘Yeah, older than what he’s used to. He was saying late 20s but I was saying, yeah, 30s is fine.’Penelope said, ‘No, 20s? You’re 40. You’re not gonna date someone 19,’ as Scott admitted: ‘I would, but it’s not a good look.’Penelope added, ‘Good personality, she can be pretty,’ as Scott jokes, ‘Oh, I’m allowed to have pretty? Thanks.’

Scott’s daughter added she should also be ‘someone who goes to the gym, because you need to go to the gym also.’Her father responded, ‘All right, so we’ve got the basics down, I mean, but you never know until you meet someone,’ to which Penelope admitted: ‘I want him to have a girlfriend.’Kris stated in the confessional: ‘This isn’t gonna get done without some drastic changes here, so I’m gonna take matters into my own hands, I’m gonna get s*** done, I’m gonna make some calls, I’m gonna get some people and we’re gonna make it happen.’Scott added it was ‘so funny’ that Penelope exclaimed: ‘You’re 40!’The episode then transitions to Khloe Kardashian and Kris Jenner arriving at Scott Disick’s house, as Kris explains in confession: ‘Khloe and I are checking in on Scott today, because I think his back has got him really down.’Scott compliments Kris and says he likes suits on her, but Khloe says, ‘She always wears f***ing suits,’ but Scott insists, ‘Well, not always,’ as Kris asks how his back is.’It still hurts pretty bad. I mean I still think I have to get surgery because I saw another doctor,’ as Khloe asks if he did any physical therapy.’But it doesn’t help, like…’ as Kris changes gears immediately and asks if he’s dating anybody, which Khloe jokes was, ‘so subtle.’

However, the pre-teen made it clear that she would like to see her father get into a serious relationship in the near future
‘Well I’m dying to know. It’s the question everybody wants to know,’ Kris says, but Scott says, ‘I’ve been too focused on like the kids and me.’Khloe asks if he’s ever lonely and he says, ‘Yeah, all the time. I guess I can’t just live with having my kids,’ but Khloe says with a smile: ‘I can.’Scott adds, ‘OK, then I can too,’ but when Kris says, ‘I could,’ Khloe checks her and says, ‘Mom, you’ve never been alone… ever. Literally since you’ve been out of MJ’s f***ing vagina, you’ve never been alone, so calm down.’Kris adds in confession, ‘Listen, I cannot help it that I’m popular. It’s just something, you know, I was born with.’Kris asks if he’s going anywhere to meet anybody, as Scott jokes, ‘What, strip clubs?’Kris continues, ‘If you had the opportunity to meet the perfect girl, what does that look like on paper?’Scott then deflects and asks Khloe how tall she is, as they all laugh, as Kris admits in confession, ‘I think Scott probably has a crush on Khloe. Listen, I have a crush on Khloe. Everyone has a crush on Khloe. The cameramen all have a crush on Khloe. Paxy has a crush on Khloe. You know, if we could just find somebody who comes close… we know what he’s looking for.’
