The iconic Lionel Richie is used to the judgement that comes with being famous, given his decades long career as a successful singer. Unfortunately for him though, today he’s just received an epic amount of bashing from fans after the latest reveal about his 19 year old daughter/model, Sofia Richie.
“Congratulations” For What? Watch Video
As we recently reported, Sofia has now gone public with her 34 year old boyfriend/Keeping Up with the Kardashians reality star, Scott Disick. But things have just gotten turned up a notch after Scott and Sofia made a huge announcement on Saturday.
As shown in the TMZ video above they went to a Miami restaurant and kissed very passionately in front of a cake that read “Congratulations Scott & Sophia” (her name was spelled wrong on the cake, but nevermind all that). Their friends cheered them on.
Fans’ Comments To Lionel Richie
After fans saw their “congratulations” announcement, they were REALY going off. Why? Because the first thing that comes to mind with a couple’s congratulatory announcement, Is marriage or pregnancy. Since Sofia and Scott didn’t specify what they were celebrating, whatever it is couldn’t be good news in the eyes of many, who cited that just their age difference alone is enough for Richie to go get his daughter.

Although most fans understand that Sofia, is an adult, they felt that a 19 year old mind, verses that of a 34 year old’s, is still a very young in comparison. Therefore they decided to go to the source- her father- to blast him on social media about his baby girl getting with a much older man and a controversial one at that. FYI: Scott Disick is the ex of a Kardashian sister, has a known history with alcohol addiction and erratic public behavior, and had public relationships and/or flings with other models around the same age as Sofia.
Oops Fan Made a Mistake

There was one problem though. As the fans proceeded to blast Richie about his daughter on Instagram, they blasted a photo of the wrong daughter. Lionel Richie posted a throwback photo (shown above) of himself holding his other daughter, Nicole Richie, when she was a little girl. Many fans mistook Nicole for Sofia though. Although they had the wrong daughter, they’re views on what they believe Richie should do about Sofia Richie remains the same. Another FYI: After the backlash, the Richie or his team disabled and hid the comments from his Instagram page. What say you ILOSM family? Do you agree with those fans on this or no?
