Rehab: was she or wasn't she?

Posted May 24 2007 @ 05:57 PM

Who to believe! Rumors have been circulating like crazy that Nicole Richie was in rehab, then that she was never in rehab, then that she was in rehab but is now out… my head is spinning! A few days ago, both Star and The National Enquirer reported that Nicole entered the Beau Monde Rehab Center on May 19 with an overnight bag, allegedly seeking treatment for substance abuse and an eating disorder. The mags claim Nicole only weighs 83 pounds, and if that fact is true, it's a good thing she checked herself in! Upon hearing these claims, Nic's rep made a statement to Us Weekly not really confirming or denying either side, and simply said that Nicole "is not in rehab. She is at home in Glendale. Sobriety is an ongoing process but she is sober." Hold up.. Nicole lives in Glendale!? I though she had a condo in West Hollywood! Ah well. Nicole might not be in rehab now, but her rep never really cleared up if she ever was in rehab at all. Now, the two tabloids are fighting back, saying that Nicole definitely checked herself in, and they have the photos to prove it! Oooh! They are backpeddling a little, however, and are now saying that Nic first checked in on May 11, and is now seeking outpatient help. I would totally buy that, I don' know about you. What I do know is that Nic was spotted in Bev Hills on May 22 looking happy, wearing a mesh striped top (Heatherette's striped sweater is similar) with dark blue skinnies, a big Chanel bag and monster Balenciaga shoes. I hope everything works out for Nicole, whether she was in rehab or not.
