Richie reconciles his relationship with Nicole

Lionel Richie is slowing mending his damaged relationship with daughter Nicole, after years of drug abuse and lies ravaged their bond.

Nicole began a slow downward spiral into drink and drug abuse in the wake of her adoptive parents' divorce. Lionel and his ex-wife BRENDA split in 1993 when Nicole was just 11, and she struggled with the sense of abandonment she felt.
