It seems like Nicole Richie isn't the only one who hasn't become oblivious to her drastic weight loss. The "Simple Life" star says she did not lose weight on "purpose."

Over recent years, the young starlet has made controversy with her sudden weight loss. But according to x17online.com, the actress attributes her extremely slim figure to stress.

She says, "I've never been diagnosed with an eating disorder. My weight is a result of stress. I didn't lose weight on purpose, I simply wasn't eating enough. But I did realize I had gotten too thin.

"Now I'm doing all I can to get my weight up and have gained some. I'm seeing a trainer and a nutritionist and I'm eating healthy."
