Nicole Richie was Never a Homeless, Barefoot Junkie

During an interview with Nylon, Nicole Richie opened up about her heroin addiction, for which she entered rehab in 2003. The “Simple Life” star claimed she didn’t realize she was an addict, because she wasn’t living like a stereotypical junkie.

“When I pictured heroin, I pictured some crazy crackhead with no shoes under a bridge,” she says in the interview. “You never think that is going to be you. And it never was me. I was never under a bridge, and I always had shoes.”

I guess having Lionel Richie as a father does have it’s advantages.
