"Sofia broke up with Scott after the pictures and rumors of his behavior in Wyoming were floating around," a source told E! News exclusively. "She couldn't take it anymore. Scott has been off the rails recently and is not in a good place. He goes in waves of partying really hard and then will have his good days and it's just very toxic behavior. It's very up and down."
The source said Scott "has been drinking a lot." The reality star, who has battled substance abuse in the past and has been to rehab, has not commented.
The source expressed optimism that the two will work things out, adding that Sofia "really loves Scott."

"Sofia was fed up and heavily influenced by friends and family, especially Lionel, to break it off," the source said. "Lionel has warned Sofia to get out while she can and move on."
Another source had told E! News that Sofia felt she had no choice but to break up with Scott, as "she couldn't stand for being cheated on and being in such a toxic relationship." The source added that Scott appeared to be "unfazed by her decision" and didn't "seem to care too much." He has not commented.
