Rumours surfaced that the socialite was expecting her third child with husband Joel Madden after she was pictured with what looked like a baby bump. But Richie rubbished the reports, stating that the media should not be scrutinising her appearance.
She told Gossip Cop: 'Contrary to recent speculation I am not pregnant. This irresponsible reporting continues to feed an atmosphere of self-doubt and insecurity. To publicly point out a change in anyone's body is mean-spirited and cruel. People's bodies change and change again.'
The couple already have three-year-old daughter Harlow and one-year-old son Sparrow.
