Nicole’s concerned father, singer Lionel Richie, was shocked when he was told by a doctor that his daughter did not in fact have an eating disorder (as has been speculated in the media).
Lionel told a Swedish newspaper: “I stood in front of the doctor, looked him in the eyes, and I said ‘Is it anorexia?’ And he said, ‘It isn’t anorexia.’”
Mr Richie said he was informed that Nicole’s drastic weight loss was due to stress, believed to have been caused by her parents’ divorce in 1993, and the intense media scrutiny.
Lionel says that he lives in constant fear that “Nicole is going to become the next Princess Diana.”
He adds: “Just to give you an example of how crazy everything has become, I always know when Nicole is on her way home because she is always followed by a helicopter and seven cars. It’s harrassment.”
