Lionel Richie Furious Over Daughter Dating Scott Disick

Lionel Richie isn’t dancing on the ceiling when it comes to his teenage daughter’s hot and heavy romance with Hollywood bad boy Scott Disick!

The National ENQUIRER has learned from sources that the "All Night Long" sensation has begged daughter Sofia, 19, to call it off with 34-year-old Disick.

But his pleas have fallen on the deaf ears of the fashion model, who’s graced Tommy Hilfiger ads and Dolce & Gabbana runways — and was recently snapped canoodling with Disick in Mexico!

“Poor Lionel just spent his summer working his butt off on tour. He needs a break but instead he’s got this to deal with,” says a source.

“He’s trying to stay calm and let Sofia make her own decisions, but deep down he’s sick to his stomach imagining the kind of depravity that Scott’s luring his little girl into," said the source. “Don’t forget, he almost lost Sofia’s sister, Nicole (right), to drugs, so of course his mind goes to worst case scenarios.”

Disick, the three-time baby daddy of reality wench Kourtney Kardashian, has a long history of womanizing, debauchery and bad behavior — and Richie thinks he’s a terrible influence on his child. “He’s tried everything to get Sofia to see reason, but she won’t listen,” adds the spy.

“Disick is every right-minded father’s worst nightmare: A hard-partying douchebag who disrespects women and gets a sick pleasure playing his twisted mind games.” Now the distraught dad is at his wit’s end, says the mole, over the changes he’s seen in Sofia, seen here with Disick on a Miami party boat.

“But with Scott in the mix, she’s started being really shady and avoiding Lionel as much as she can,” adds the source. “She even rented an apartment in New York without telling him. He feels like his daughter is slipping away and he’s blaming it all on Scott.”
