Why Mischa Barton and Nicole Richie are BFF no more
Friendship in Hollywood is sometimes not a forever thing. Your best friends now may turn estrange with you in a few years; the same thing that happened to Nicole Richie and once-pal, Mischa Barton. So what happened with these two?
Well People reports that apparently, Mischa’s behavior – the extreme partying and reported drug and alcohol use – over the past two years was one of the reasons she lost some of her close pals, including Nicole Richie.
A source told People, “In the last few years, her dark side has really come out. Her friends, like Nicole, want to be supportive but they really can’t be around her too much. She’s too volatile.”
“It makes us sad, but we’re also like, ‘Pull it together and get help already,” added the source.
And since Nicole has apparently straightened her path already – being a mother and a partner at the same time – friendship with Mischa at these times would probably at the least of her priorities.
“Nicole is focused on motherhood and her family,” a source close to both Nicole and Mischa confirms this.
“[She] considers [Mischa] a dear friend but she’s also a mother who can’t be around too much negative, unsafe behavior. Mischa is one of the reasons that Nicole is mostly with her other mom friends these days, not the party girls.”
I actually feel bad for Mischa, really. With all the personal issues she’s been dealing with, plus no friends to turn to at these tough times, being under psychiatric hold is her only way to be better.
However, I do not blame Nicole to distance herself from Mischa these days. As a parent, I know how it feels to be protective over your children; wanting to keep them away from potential bad influences. If Mischa would just straighten out her life style, I’m sure Nicole would not mind hanging out with her again. That is, if she really straightens out.
