Does Kourtney Kardashian's son already have a child?

Mason Disick, the son that Kourtney Kardashian has with Scott Disick, is only 15, but alive and kicking. He has been on Instagram since last year and has—with five posts—already 875,000 followers. We see a lot of hoodies and slouchy, somewhat bored boys. So far, nothing new, you might say. Except that there are very serious rumors going around that Mason may have fathered a child.

Kourtney's response: “My son is NOT having a child”

Kourtney Kardashian shared a message via her Instagram in which she responds to the rumors about Mason.

In her post, she wrote: “Mason does not have a child.” She further emphasized that the accounts spreading these rumors are fake. Kourtney also asked for respect for her son's privacy and that of all other children, as Mason is a teenager who values his privacy.

I find it particularly brave of Kourtney to put up a wall between social media and her son. Of course, as a mother, you stand up for your child. At the same time, you run the risk of making the rumor even bigger. I, a non-active TikTok user, had never heard of this story, and now I'm typing a piece about it.

Allegra Versace

It reminds me of the case surrounding Allegra Versace, years ago. I was working at Marie Claire at the time and received a—I believe even registered—letter from the Versace family (which was quite nice), in which they denied that Allegra Versace has anorexia would have. They warned that anyone who would write even a letter about it would face a lawsuit.

At that time, Allegra was thinner than a reed diffuser, so this letter actually fueled the rumor mill enormously. That danger lurks with this kind of protective statements. And I fear that this is also the case here.
