Nicole Richie has been granted a leave of absence from DUI school until after her baby is born. Nicole, who is eight months pregnant, has so far completed three months of the eighteen month program. She was allowed leave thanks to her “medical condition.”
Both Richie’s rep and officials say the starlet is not receiving any special treatment. The option of taking temporary leave of the class, Santa Barbara’s SB 38 Multiple Offender Drinking Driver Program, is offered to any enrollees with a medical condition.
Richie signed up for the course in September and is one of approximately 340 multiple-DUI offenders enrolled there. Upon completion, she will be eligible to get her driver’s license reissued by the state.
Richie, whose actual sentence mandated only a three-week course, is expected to resume participation in the program sometime after she gives birth early next year.
Let’s hope Nicole has a good nanny. It’s going to be rough handing all night feedings and then having to stay awake for DUI school.
