Ritchie fears bring 'exploited' like Hilton

Socialite Nicole Ritchie fears following in the footsteps of her 'Simple Life' partner by being "exploited" and sentenced to a jail term.

Hotel heiress Hilton has to report to Los Angeles' Century Regional Detention Center by June 5 to start serving her sentence for violating her probation following a 2006 drink-driving arrest.

Richie now worries she will be incarcerated too.

"Sometimes people just get exploited," said the millionairess. "I can only hope that doesn't happen to me."
