According to People magazine, Richie believes that hypoglycemia is the reason that she has been fainting on the set of her reality series The Simple Life.
Most recently, the young woman was taken to a hospital where she was treated for dehydration. A representative for the star has confirmed that Richie’s blood sugar level was too low, causing her to faint.
A source revealed that taping the television show has been difficult, saying, "Four or five times she’s felt really faint and almost passed out."
