Another celeb parent shirking responsibility for their kids being out of control

Lionel Richie recently told People magazine that daughter Nichole is "living her life under a microscope, but it's the kind of life you live at that age." Who lives this kind of life??? Driving the wrong way on a major freeway while on Vicodin and stoned??? Richie went on to say, "She keeps apologizing [about being in the news so much], I tell you, she's doing exactly what you're supposed to do... she's living her life." Wow. It's all coming together now.
