Nicole Richie Walks Out on Joel Madden
After a bitter fight with Joel Madden, Nicole Richie packed her bags — and their daughter! — and headed to her mom's. But things only got worse when she caught Joel with... Mischa Barton.
For months they'd been fighting over everything from marriage to moving, but Nicole and Joel's strained relationship hit a new low when, during yet another battle, she screamed at him, "We're through," and fled to her mother's home, taking their daughter, Harlow, with her, a friend tells Star. Although Nicole returned the next day, "This was her way of sending Joel a message," says the pal. "Nicole loves him, but things need to change."
Days after their big blowup, things were no better, so Nicole once again walked out on Joel — jetting to New York City, with Harlow in tow, for Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. She wasn't alone for long. Joel followed her to the Big Apple, and the quarrelsome couple made a brief yet disastrous appearance at the Charlotte Ronson afterparty at Country Club on Sept. 6. "She was just in a miserable mood, and there was obvious tension," an eyewitness tells Star. "I didn't see her talk to Joel the entire night, and it seemed like he was avoiding her too. Nicole was just so angry!"
The next day, it was Joel's turn to walk out on Nicole! He headed back to L.A., where his band, Good Charlotte, performed that night at an MTV VMAs party at the Chateau Marmont hotel. And despite his relationship with Nicole hanging by a thread, Joel partied like he didn't have a care in the world — with Nicole pal Mischa! Days earlier, Mischa had broken up with boyfriend, Taylor Locke and that night she was front-row center at the show, dancing seductively for Joel, says a source. "He kept checking out Mischa and smiling at her."
What happened next? A lot, but you'll have to pick up the Sept. 29 issue of Star, on sale now, for the details, including Paris snapping photos of Joel and Mischa dancing and texting them to Nicole, Nicole accusing Joel of being unfaithful and how the couple now spends most of their time in separate rooms of their home. Don't miss it.
