Nicole Richie claims she doesn’t have an eating problem, and did not check herself into rehab for one.

Interestingly, though, she was photographed outside the W. Hollywood Recovery Center, which is evidently an informal meeting place that focuses on 12-step meetings.

A search of the rehab venue’s programs reveals Crystal Meth Anonymous meetings that are held there on Wednesday nights.

We’ve got a picture of Nicole outside the place from September 27. Here she is, seen leaving the center the same day Crystal Meth Anonymous meetings are held.

Therefore, our favorite girl must totally be hooked on the stuff, right?

Oh, who the hell knows, but it makes for some interesting gossip (not unlike Suri Cruise being born of alien life forms).

And we thought it was just an eating disorder, Nic! Crazy!

There’s more to the meth myth than meets the eye. It’s long been rumored that Richie’s stylist, Rachel Zoe, keeps her clients thin by doubling as their drug dealer.

Nicole may indeed be telling the truth that she doesn’t have an eating disorder — she has been chowing down on some pretty big slabs of meat of late — and maybe her thin frame could be evidence of another addiction entirely.

If she is getting help, good for her. She clearly needs it — look at how narrow this pic is! Look at ANY Nicole Richie pics from the past year!

Get some counseling, girlfriend. There’s no need to ride the rails all night long when you can ride Brody Jenner instead.
