Pregnancy and pubic hair? Scott Disick demands Kourtney trim

As cameras rolled for an episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, Scott Disick flat-out told longtime partner Kourtney Kardashian he finds her untrimmed pubic hair to be "a little offensive."

The clip, which aired just recently but was filmed while the reality star was still pregnant with their third child and prepping for a nude photo shoot, is circulating today as talk of pregnancy and pubes makes the blog rounds. Take a look:

"So, you're upset that I don't want to shave for the photoshoot," the reality star says to Scott as they broach the subject. She went on to explain, "First of all, it's lucky enough that I can shave my legs. There's a huge stomach here in the way so you're asking a lot to shave down there. I'm down. I just need some assistance."

"Her bush is hanging out like it's the '80s and I'm not going to stand for that," Scott says in a separately filmed clip after offering to help out. "If I have to get my hands dirty I will."

"When her stomach is hanging over things, I don't think she gets how unkept her lawn can get," he later said. "I think she forgets hair still grows downstairs."

Kourtney Kardashian isn't the first celebrity mom to make talk of pubic hair and pregnancy public. You may recall that back in 2009 Tori Spelling got into the details of the state of her nether regions by writing in Mommywood, "I wasn’t prepared for losing sight of my lower region. I’d say, ‘Dean, how’s it looking down there? Do I need to shave?’ But of course I couldn’t shave. So Dean had to shave me. He’d hold up a mirror and say ‘How’d I do?’ Or he’d take a picture with his Blackberry to show me."

Still, today's debate seems to be less about how to go about shaving while pregnant and more about who gets to choose whether a woman does or doesn't.

Many seem upset by Scott's comments on the subject and I tend to agree. The whole clip seems ridiculous and staged in my view, but hearing Kourtney say that she didn't want to shave really ought to have been the end of it. If she'd wanted to and he offered to help her out that would be one thing, but the comments and acting as though he's in charge of her privates were out of line.
