Having a famous child isn't all it's cracked up to be, according to Lionel Richie, who poked fun at his socialite daughter Nicole while accepting an award over the weekend.
Receiving the 'Icon' at the TV Land Awards on Sunday night (June 8), Richie joked, "Forget about surviving 40 years in the music business - just surviving 27 years of Nicole Richie has been a struggle-and-a-half, I want to tell you."
Nicole Richie has had numerous run-ins with the law, including spending 82 minutes in jail after being convicted of driving under the influence of drugs last year.
"I stand here as a survivor," Richie said as he continued his acceptance speech. "I want you to know, for all the parents out there."
