Remember what happened to Nicole Ritchie? Some of you are too young on this blog to know the real story. Nicole was the baby of Lionel Richie's drummer with some woman who worked backstage during the 1980 tour. She gets pregnant, dumps the kid with the drummer and flees. He could not take care of the child anymore and alone so Lionel adopted the kid. Below is what Wikipedia reports.......very similar to my story. I was like 18 when this happened and had just arrived in the U.S as a foreign student. I won't forget all that drama! Now look at Nicole!
Nicole Richie was born Nicole Camille Escovedo in Berkeley, California. She is of Caucasian, Black Creole, and Mexican descent.She is reportedly the biological daughter of Afro-Latin American percussionist Pete Escovedo and a woman identified only as a backstage assistant on Lionel Richie's 1980 world tour; Escovedo was a member of Richie's band.
Reportedly, Nicole's mother was never a factor in her life, and Escovedo raised her alone. Escovedo took Nicole to Richie's shows and recording sessions, and she became something of a mascot for the band. Lionel Richie first met Nicole as a child playing tambourine onstage at a Prince concert. Richie became her guardian and later adopted her. At age two, Nicole went to live with Lionel Richie and his wife, Brenda Harvey-Richie, who began to raise her as their daughter. When she was three years old, Nicole began attending weekly sessions with a psychotherapist and remained in therapy throughout her childhood. She was legally adopted by the Richies when she was nine. became public knowledge.
