I have really great friends and I just have a really great circle around me who support me no matter what and don’t judge me no matter how low I’ve ever gotten. And I really think that’s the key to everything.”
But as to knowing why it started Nicole admitted not knowing the root of her behavior but says, “I really don’t think about it anymore. I mean everyone has made mistakes like I said it’s all about moving forward and learning from your mistakes; and that’s really where I am at in my own head.”

But as the singer relates the rehab days of Nicole, he also hinted how he wasn’t able to be there 100% to watch over his daughter to which Nicole countered, “I really hate when says that he wasn’t a good dad because my memory of my childhood was nothing but good memories.”
