What began as a sweet father-daughter moment turned into a storm Scott Disick never saw coming.
The 41-year-old TV star shared a casual Instagram photo with his daughter Penelope, whom he shares with Kourtney Kardashian. But instead of smiles, the post drew anger — and accusations of racism.
In the image, taken at an Asian restaurant, Penelope playfully pulled her eyelids upward while sitting beside her dad. To some, it looked like an innocent child’s silly face. To others, it resembled a gesture that mocks East Asian eyes, a painful stereotype rooted in decades of discrimination. “Wow, and this is how racism is taught,” one person commented. Another added, “It’s a parent’s job to teach right from wrong.”

But not everyone agreed. Supporters rushed to defend the father and daughter, insisting the internet was reading too much into a harmless photo. “She’s just a kid making a funny face,” one wrote.
Scott, who shares three children with Kourtney, has often said, “We try to keep the kids the priority.” Yet this moment has left fans debating — where is the line between innocence and insensitivity?

Sometimes, even a simple family photo can ignite a conversation the world wasn’t ready to have. 💬
