Nicole Richie has spoken!

The reality star turned fashion designer dismissed false pregnancy rumors recently in a statement to UsMagazine.com.

“Contrary to recent speculation, I am not pregnant. This irresponsible reporting continues to feed an atmosphere of self-doubt and insecurity. To publicly point out a change in anyone’s body is mean spirited and cruel. People’s bodies change and change again. This is not newsworthy and is a waste of valuable media space that should be used for more important issues.”

The rumors started when several blog sites posted photos of Richie, 29, sporting a supposed baby bump.
