Nicole Richie maybe the worlds most hated celebrity these days, but Lionel Richie don’t think so. At the TV Land Awards, the former Commodores singer accepted his award for the “icon” honor, when he took the stage to give his speech, he completely ignored the many years that he spent on music and expressed his love for his adopted daughter Nicole Richie, the star of the TV reality series “The Simple Life”.
Lionel Richie said, “Just forget about surviving 40 years in the music business, just surviving 27 years of Nicole Richie has been a struggle and a half.”
He said that as a piece of advice for all parents out there.

It’s nice to see him realize that family is more important than a stupid award. I bet he went on there just to defend his daughter.
I’m a fan of Lionel Richie though, I love him in the Commodores and enjoy his solo stuff too. I saw Lionel Richie in concert once a long time ago, the guy’s a hell of a performer.

Kev, he wasn’t DEFENDING her. If you read the article he was making a joke saying surviving 27 years with Nicole as his daughter was tougher and more stressful than the 40 years in show business.

No, you’re definitely wrong. I read the article. I really think he meant what he said and was being honest. Why would people joke about family life? If this was a joke, then he wouldn’t say something like, “a thought to all you parents out there”. Making a joke of something like this would be a mean thing to do to your own kids. Lionel was clearly making a point that he loves Nicole Richie more than anything in this world.
