Friendship was over 2 years ago!

Thats what Nicole Ritche is telling JANE Magazine. "We really haven't been friends in probably about two years." Ritche says. Nicole says that while Hilton mentions the falling out on several talk shows, Richie says she refuses to discuss their broken relationship in public, explaining, "I know that Paris loves to talk about it and that stuff, but that's just not my style."

When asked about recent rumours the pair are close to reconciling, Richie says, "No not at this point."

Hilton has previously blamed Richie for the rift, declaring, "Nicole knows what she did."
