Just days after news of his divorce surfaced, internet personality Desmond Scott has found himself at the centre of fresh controversy. A viral video allegedly showing the celebrity chef sharing intimate moments with a mystery woman at a Houston bar has taken social media by storm, fuelling speculation around the timing of his split from long-time partner Kristy Scott
Desmond's intimate video in Houston Bar sparks buzz
The clip, shared by TMZ, is said to have been filmed on January 11, 2026, inside a bar in Houston, Texas. In the footage, Desmond appears visibly relaxed as he sits closely with an unidentified woman, who is seen perched on his lap. The two are shown kissing and embracing, seemingly unconcerned about being recorded.
With no audio context or additional details provided, the brief video has nonetheless triggered intense online chatter, largely due to how soon it emerged after the divorce filing became public.

Why the timing raised eyebrows
The video surfaced just a day after reports confirmed that influencer Kristy Scott had filed for divorce in Harris County, Texas. According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Kristy stated that reconciliation was not possible, reportedly citing infidelity as the reason behind the separation.
The appearance of another woman so soon after the filing led many to question whether the bar sighting was linked to the allegations mentioned in the legal paperwork. However, there has been no confirmation about the woman’s identity or her connection to Desmond.
As of now, neither Desmond nor his representatives have addressed the viral clip directly.
