Sofia Richie's relationship with Scott Disick and the Kardashians has alienated her from own family
Sofia Richie is reportedly so hooked to her boyfriend, Scott Disick, and his accompanying Kardashian clan that she has alienated her family just to hang out with them. According to Radar Online, it's been a year since the 21-year-old reality TV star has been photographed with her family members, namely her father, Lionel Richie, and her sister, TV personality Nicole Richie.
“She barely saw them over the holidays and it’s breaking their hearts, especially Lionel, who now concedes he’s lost Sofia to the Kardashian clan until she grows up and comes to her senses,” an insider told the outlet. The source added that Disick, 36, is “such a control freak and he totally organizes her social calendar, which revolves around what Kris (Jenner) wants them to do and leaves little to zero room for her own people.”
Sofia has made herself available at all times for the Kardashians. “If Kim or one of the older sisters invites Sofia anywhere, she drops everyone else – including her family – like a hot potato,” the insider said. “She’s not very popular with the Richies right now, but she doesn’t seem to care.”
The couple split briefly at the beginning of their relationship. It was reported that her family was “beyond upset” that she took him back. “Sofia is so addicted to fame and when she ran back to him after she realized she was going to lose her 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' contract,” the insider told the outlet at the time. “She just can’t stand being irrelevant.”
The model's family members were always wary of her choice of boyfriend, especially since he is much older than her. Nicole even warned her to stay away from Scott, who was Kourtney Kardashian's ex-boyfriend and the father of her children because she did not trust his intentions with her sister.
“Nicole is trying her best to keep her sister away from Scott because she thinks that Scott is using Sofia to get back at Kourtney for leaving him for Younes [Benjima],” a source added. “Nicole thinks that Sofia is setting herself up for disaster by getting involved with someone from the Kardashian clan. She does not want her sister to end up with a broken heart, but knows that it is just a matter of time before he screws her over.”
