Seeing as how Chad head-butted Evelyn before the ink was dry on their reality show deal, it’s kind of hard to blame their show for this Hollywood divorce.

When the cops are charging both parties with domestic violence, it’s probably a bad sign for the marriage.

Believe it or not, Scott Disick survived both Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Kourtney and Khloé Take The Hamptons, and Kourtney and Kim Take Miami before Kourtney reportedly gave him his walking papers this year.
