Nicole Richie has recently been diagnosed (by her spokesperson) with hypoglycemia, but Nicole is stating that shooting the The Simple Life’s at a new mountain location, may have contributed to her recent fainting episodes.
Nicole’s spokesperson had previously blamed hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). More recently, Nicole has rebuked her rep’s statements, telling OK magazine: “The hours I’m doing are really crazy right now and we’re working up in the mountains.”
Nicole continued: “I was getting my hair and make-up done one morning and I turned the heat up to 90 degrees, which I know I probably shouldn’t have done… but I like it really hot in the room. I hadn’t eaten breakfast and I asked for a bowl of cereal, but it had to go through 15 people to even get to me. I walked outside and I wasn’t feeling myself.”
Nicole had been hospitalized for a short time after this incident in early March, and was rumored to have had a number of “dizzy” moments since.
