Nicole Richie Addicted to Diet Pills
Posted On: May 27, 2006
UK Female First reports that Nicole Richie’s frightening weight loss was caused by an addiction to diet pills. The article claims that a close friend of Nicole, named Crystal, has revealed the ‘Simple Life’ star is hooked on Hoodia - a South African herb that fools the brain into thinking you are constantly full.
She told Britain’s More magazine that Nicole once told her: “Hoodia makes you look hot in low-cut tops and backless dresses. It is good for me - the bushmen have sworn by it for hundreds of years and that’s good enough for me.” Nicole dropped from a US size 2 to a US size 0 in a matter of months following her brief split from Adam Goldstein last December and she recently confessed that she was too thin. The pair reportedly split again this week as a result of Nicole’s constant partying and worrying eating habits.
Ok, it’s time for Daddy Lionel to step up and help this girl. You can’t tell me that the ‘Brickhouse’ singer can’t take of business in his family. She seriously needs to be hospitalized and force fed. Check out this picture of Nicole (working out no less) from just yesterday. Can you say Karen Carpenter? (Minus the pretty voice and gay brother)
