Update: Nicole Richie Tells Diane Sawyer She Took Vicodin for Pain
Wednesday August 1, 2007
![]() Ida Mae Astute/ ABC Almost four weeks after Us Weekly first broke the news that Nicole Richie and boyfriend Joel Madden were expecting, Richie has finally confirmed her pregnancy. In an interview scheduled to air this Thursday on Good Morning America and then Friday on Good Morning America and 20/20, ABC News' Diane Sawyer asks the former Simple Life star if she's pregnant. "Yes I am. We are. I'm almost four months," Richie responds. She reveals that she found out the good news by taking a home pregnancy test. "I didn't believe it," she said. "It was my best friend and I, and we were at her house. And she was like, 'You're definitely pregnant.'" In addition to finally coming clean on her growing baby bump, Richie, 25, talks to Sawyer about her decision to plead guilty to DUI charges. Richie admitted that she had smoked marijuana and took the prescription painkiller Vicodin before driving her SUV the wrong way down a California freeway on December 11, 2006. "I had smoked marijuana that night," Richie told Sawyer. "Just marijuana. I had Vicodin in my system from that day, which I take for pain." When asked if she is still taking Vicodin, Richie said, "No. I don't take anything now." "I have a responsibility and it's something that I did wrong, and if I could personally apologize to every single person that has lost a loved one from drunk driving I would. And unfortunately I can't, but this is my way of paying my dues and taking responsibility and being an adult." Richie was convicted on July 27 and must serve 96 hours in jail for her DUI within the next 60 days. Join Us on Facebook and Twitter for even more up to the minute celebrity news and photos!
