Nicole Richie: I'm a Changed Person

Nicole Richie: I'm a Changed Person

Mom-to-be Nicole Richie insists she’s a changed person, telling her side of the story to Diane Sawyer on Good Morning America.

On being a role model for her baby: “I would really want to be someone my child would look up to.”

On what she was on during her DUI: “I had smoked marijuana that day. Just marijuana. I had Vicodin in my system from that day. I never in my head thought that could play a part in your driving. Like, never did I think that. It was hours ago.”

On what went wrong: “I literally thought I was okay to drive, and clearly wasn’t. It was bad decision after bad decision after bad decision. It’s been a pattern in my life. When I get into trouble, I try to get out of it.”

On her pattern of trouble in the past year: “I wasn’t growing, I wasn’t going anywhere, and I saw myself going down that road again with this particular situation.”

On her current drug usage: “I don’t take anything now.”

My advice to Nicole Richie – now that the Simple Life is totally over? Stay the hell away from Paris Hilton. That crazy b#tch could get Mother Theresa into trouble!

#14 people dont normally answer on here are you new?
I suggest google Nicole.OKAY?
I thought the interview went quite well.
She has changed JMO., and she wanted to tell her side which is opposite of those tabs and tm-sleaze.

You were very telling in youe interview, and my senses say you were honest and straight forth. You dont’ have to prove a thang to us.Just your-self and your baby. You will never hear ‘Herplex’ say any of those things. In fact she lied on Larry King. So ‘congrats’ Nicole. You go young lady.

I think that Brit, Lin, and Paris need to hire the same PR person as Nicole to help clean up their image. I always thought that Nicole was the smarter of one. I think she was just playing the dumb role. Good for her getting her life together, and I hope that a baby change her and she doesn’t turn out like that train wreck Brit.

^^^^^^^^^^^

no, i’m not new, and yes people do answer a question here — when they have an answer. that’s my whole point!

but there’s no way to reason with 13 year olds who look up to girls whose only accomplishment in life is to wear nice dresses.

Maybe people just like her. Could that people possible. I’m not 13 and I like her far better than some. She’s made mistakes. I like when someone I’ve always thought had potential can try and start over after being just awful at the way they lived. That’s only many reasons I like her. I just do.

I like Nicole and all BUT I know that Vicodin has the potential to make you drowsy and marijuana .. well you know how that affects you.. so to mix the two together and not think that its going to affect you whether you did them at the same time or not.. COME ON.

What u know and what she knows may be different,but its been done let’s move on.I have taken vicodin and driven ,at the dentist office,I got home safe.The dentist gave it to me,I took it. But I was wrong.. but I felt no pain and was fine.

I would love to hate on her but she is just way too funny!

She was always more clever then ho-bag Paris on the show. Always says the most outrgeous things and I love that about her. She seems like so much fun. Too bad she got knocked up.

And they say they planned it. Hahahahahahahahaha

Nicole Ritchie’s claim to fame is being Paris Hilton’s sidekick and being the adopted daughter of Lionel Ritchie.

She nees to get a profession already. She’s not an actress or a singer or a business woman, what does she do? what is she trained to do? Enough with these famous for no reason people.

Why waste good telelvision time on someone no one knows? Diane Sawyer must be cringing.
