Who Is Nicole Richie’s Mother?
GlamItUp | Apr 30, 2008 | Comments 8

Many people are curious of Who Is Nicole Richie’s Mother? Well, Nicole is doing very well at keeping her birth mother a secret. No one really knows. She her adoptive father Lionel Richie’s backstage assistant on his 1980 world tour. That’s all we know about her.
Nicole’s adoptive mother is a black woman by the name of Brenda Harvey-Richie who was married to Lionel when they adopted Nicole at the age of nine. However, Nicole was raised by them since she was two. So unfortunately, her biological mother was never really apart of her life until she reached out to her a few weeks ago.
Her biological father is said to be Afro-Latin American percussionist Pete Escovedo Jr., whose sister is singer Sheila E. But Nicole has denied that in an interview before, so we do not know if that is true. She looks like him in the pictures above, but who knows.

I think Nicole will take this little bit of info to the grave. She doesn’t want anyone to know and it may be breaking confidentiality agreements to do so. You have to remember that she was legally adopted by Lionel and Brenda. Papers were signed. The mother could’ve possibly requested anonymity.

I believe nicole richie has african american genes in her blood…one of her parents are african american..No caucasion girl or spanish girl, has course hair when there little or have brown skin..I believe her skin has gotten lighten since shes older..and nose thinnner to look more caucasion. She probably sees, or feels shes socially acceptable disregarding having any african american genes. Due to history of african americans being racially attacked, or denied acccess to certain place,groups, or social circles. She does not want to be seen as a light skineed, caucasion looking black girl.. So she lies and says she is Spanish and all this other non african american nationalities. That is the truth. so be it….
In my mind Nicholes mother is non other than Diana Ross. They have the same jaw line and eyes. They are twins of a different era.
It is sad to say but I believe that for whatever reason…Nicole is ashamed to be who she really is. Clearly she is of mixed blood however she does not embrace her mixture. Maybe it is because there may be some pain associated with the fact that neither of her parents wanted to raise her. Even still, I feel that she IS a woman of color. But quite honestly, she is being the woman that she feels most comfortable with being. I do not fault her for that.
HER MOTHER NAME IS KAREN MOSS I KNOW CAUSE SHE MY THIRD COUSIN.
Nicole Richie mother was a prostitute. The commodores took turns having sex with her in a drug fueled romp. They were not even sure who her real father was until a few years ago. ( It is percussionist Pete Escovedo. She is extremely ashamed of being the product of a prostitute. Her mother has claimed to have had sex with over 8 thouand men.
NewVader you need to learn the history of a Latino (which is justified as the black man who speaks Spanish is all). Latinos are black. What sense did you make out of what you said? Both parents are black…whether or not one speaks Spanish and has a Spanish last name. Spanish is not a race. It is a language. And you obviously know nothing about black people…we come in all shades and may even change shades from time to time. She has went from white to light to dark to light again and this is all before she was famous…she are you implying that she as bleaching her skin as a child? Or was her adopted mother bleaching her skin? Oh her biological mother is in fact a white woman which slept with a lot of music members…and which is where she got her hazel eyes from. And as far as her nose goes…I see nothing different. Only that she is older. Her aunt Sheila E. back in the 80′s when she dated Prince wore her hair naturally curly before she started relaxing it (yes a relaxer is what BLACK women use to straighten their hair). I am from Jamaican, Cuban and Puerto Rican descent and believe it or not there are really really black skinned people who their native tongue is Spanish. That’s why we are called Latino to separate us from the Spaniards and the Aztecs. Latino county tribes are all black. So you are right to say Spanish (Spain (Caucasian)) girl has course hair. I was a dark child who ended up light as I got older. And my children are as light as Nicole with blue eyes from my great grandfather. As long as their are white in a black family..it will come out.
African American nationalities? Does that even make sense? No such people. Either you are African or you are American. Nicole is ashamed of her parents. They did not want her nor did her father’s family claim her. She’s been in therapy since the Richies had her. Would you claim someone who doesn’t want to claim you? Now I agree that she’s changing her image to not look black because she is ashamed of herself and the situation. Why would she want to look like the people who gave her up? Why would she want to look like the black people who gave her up?
I do not know where all of this came from because when both her kids were born her biological was right there with her and helps takes care of them now.
