4. Nicole/Sofia Richie – Rehab, Arrested Several Times/ Dated Bieber
When you’re Lionel Richie, you really have two options for who you want to be disappointed in. You haveNicole on one hand, who has had drug problems including being charged with possession of heroin and driving with a revoked license in 2003. As a result, Nicole spent some time in rehab and 3 years in probation.
To Lionel’s credit, he was one hell of a father during her stay in rehab, saying to her “I am with you and I cancelled [my] tour. Me and your mother [Brenda Richie] are checking into rehab with you.”
Nicole’s legal troubles didn’t end there, also getting arrested in 2006 after she was caught driving under the influence. She admitted to police that she had taken some Vicodin and marijuana prior to driving. Nicole has since been able to clean her act up and is the mother to two children with husband Joel Madden.
She credits one of her sobering moments from her father who told her how he lost 3 friends growing up to drugs and he didn’t want that to happen to her. After she lost 2 of her friends, she called him saying “Dad I need help, I don’t want to be the third one.”
Richie is also going to be hosting the upcoming 2016 Environmental Media Association Awards.
As for Lionel’s daughter Sofia? She’s been linked to Justin Bieber in the past! Who would want him as a son-in-law?!
