Nicole Richie has bizarrely blamed her junkie past on having a really happy childhood.

Richie was adopted by Lionel Richie and his wife when she was still a young girl and she blames a happy upbringing and being spoilt on her drug habits.

She said to Tatler magazine: “I had a pretty fun childhood, but I just wanted to feel nothing.

“It wasn’t that it was horrible and I wanted to feel better. I just didn’t want to feel anything.

“Doing drugs kind of made me just forget and not feel anything, for a second. I think it’s a combination of things. Partly just me wanting to be older – it’s what the older kids were doing at the time.

However, Richie does not think that growing up in Hollywood made her any more likely to take drugs.

She said: “I could easily say yes it was, but people also have drug problems in Kansas.

“So I don’t know whether, if I had lived somewhere else, it would have been a problem. I’d say it probably would have been, not matter where I grew up.” source
