Ex-Stylist Gives the Skinny on Richie Split

Stylist to the stars Rachel Zoe has come out swinging against reports that she was fired by Nicole Richie.

Rachel issued the following statement to TMZ: "There has been a lot of speculation as to the cause of my parting with client Nicole Richie. The tabloid reports have no merit. After trying to be a good friend to Nicole, we made a mutual decision to sever our working relationship. Changes are inevitable in any business relationship. I am very fortunate to have such a wonderful life, I have been married for 10 years and have been a stylist for more than 15 years and am lucky to work with such a diverse group of women of all shapes and sizes that inspire me everyday. I have nothing but love for Nicole and wish her only health and happiness."

Sources tell TMZ that Rachel, who had worked with Nicole for more than three years, had become increasingly unhappy with bad choices Nicole was making in her life, and simply wanted to be finished with the whole thing.

When asked to elaborate further about "being a good friend to Nicole," Rachel's rep refused comment.

A rep for Nicole could not be immediately reached.

Yeah, well knowing why press releases are written (generally)...RZ is trying to cover her ass. Now she has made it into a big deal between them when it truly wasn't. Who cares that she has been married for 10 years. Serious backpedaling, guess all those drug rumors are catching up with her.

Rachel knows that if Lindsay follows suit and dumps her, she is in trouble career-wise. All those anorexic tabloid princesses Zoe styles made her career.

All of these girls have such shallow meaningless relationships with each other and their 'boyfriends' too, none of them can maintain their friendships for long periods. I can imagine them gossiping about one another behind each other's back....

^^ you are so right plasticgirl, it's like high school all over again (only with more money than they know what to do with).

I wonder why she mentioned her marriage.
