Kristy Scott Shares Vulnerable Update One Month After Divorce Filing
Social media personality Kristy Scott has offered her approximately 27 million followers an intimate glimpse into her emotional state, precisely one month after initiating divorce proceedings from her husband of over eleven years, Desmond Scott. The 30-year-old influencer posted a candid video to both her Instagram and TikTok accounts on Wednesday, documenting a seemingly ordinary trip to Whole Foods Market that revealed extraordinary personal turmoil.
A New Chapter Begins in the Aisles
In the three-minute confessional, Scott described this period as a "new, unexpected chapter" in her life. Visibly emotional, she admitted to her audience, "I'm literally shaking," while holding out a noticeably unsteady hand. She elaborated on her nervousness, stating, "I'm really nervous making this video, but also my nervous system is like shot, it kind of has been for the past month." The mother-of-two, who shares sons Vance, seven, and Westin, six, with the professional chef and content creator, was seen pushing her cart through the upscale supermarket's aisles, dressed in an elegant feathery sweater with her wedding ring finger conspicuously bare.
Navigating Life as a Single Parent
Scott revealed that this grocery excursion marked her "first time" shopping solely for herself and her boys since the separation. "I was a little excited to go grocery shopping for the first time, 'cause I feel like I can just get like anything I want. Not that I couldn't before, but it just feels a little different," she explained. Her cart contained child-friendly staples like pretzels, cereal, and pepperoni pizza for her sons, alongside ice cream for herself, confessing, "I’ve also been snacking really bad at night." She also humorously noted her intention to visit the fresh food section for prepared meals, admitting, "this girl doesn’t know how to cook at all."
The Struggle to Maintain a Public Persona
Acknowledging the shift in her content, Scott addressed followers who have been requesting her typical humorous videos. "A lot of you have been asking for my funny, silly videos, but I'm just like not in that headspace... I'm just gonna share with you guys the raw, the real, the ugly, just like how I'm transitioning," she said. She expressed that this situation would force her audience to see a different side of her, contrasting with her usual chaotic and humorous online persona. "I can't lie and say that I wanna be flipping around my living room right now," she added with palpable sincerity.
Background and Current Status
Kristy Scott filed for divorce on December 30, 2025, citing allegations of infidelity, according to reports. The couple, who wed in 2014 when they were 19 and 20 years old, are now navigating the complexities of separation. Scott indicated that, thankfully, there is currently "not really any drama" between them. She also shared that she has found solace in messages from other women who have experienced similar situations, noting, "Even if I don't respond, I've read a lot of them and it's definitely helped me."
Earlier this month, via an Instagram post on January 14 featuring photos from a shoot inside her home, Scott hinted that she is still residing at the marital address, simply captioning it "Same address." This follows a statement from Desmond Scott on January 10, where he publicly apologised and affirmed his commitment to co-parenting, admitting to making "choices that I am not proud of" during their separation.
Throughout the video, Scott's primary message was one of tentative forward movement. With a sigh, she summarised her current mindset to her millions of followers: "I’m just trying to figure things out and move forward the best way I can."
