7. Nicole Richie- Blames Substance Abuse On “Boredom”
Nicole Richie was a young socialite who had the benefit of being the daughter of legendary recording artist, Lionel Richie. Nicole was exposed to money and celebrity status at a very young age. She blamed “boredom” for the reason she began using. At the tender age of 13, Nicole was drinking alcohol, smoking pot and snorting cocaine. When that wasn’t enough, she graduated to heroin use. Nicole told Barbara Walters in 2007 that she “got so much so fast that nothing really excited me anymore. I know I took matters into my own hands and was creating drama in a very dangerous way.” Nicole used to create chaos with her partner in crime Paris Hilton back in the day. At age 21, Nicole was busted for possession of heroin and was checked into rehab. Rehab may have cured the heroin, but Nicole was seen numerous times partying with Hilton over the years. One wonders if rehab took or not.
