According to People magazine, Richie recently announced that she is seeking a diagnosis for why she is not gaining weight. The 25 year-old woman is very thin.
Singer Lionel Richie, the star’s adoptive father, explained, "She’s gonna be fine. She’s worrying me to death, but she’s gonna be okay."
A representative for Richie added that the starlet doesn’t know why she isn’t gaining weight, but denies that she has an eating disorder.
Richie is now being helped by a team of doctors and nutrition specialists. Producers of The Simple Life have decided to halt the show’s production until November 6. Richie and Paris Hilton star in the television series from 20th Century Fox.
