Lionel Doesn't Trust Nicole Richie?

TMZ caught up with Lionel Richie last night and asked him about the trust fund he set up for granddaughter Harlow. His response makes it sound like he doesn’t trust Nicole with money too much, but I can’t be sure. It is later, after all, and having a paparazzo shove a camera in your face and interview you will always catch someone off-guard.

But then again, Nicole’s turn-around into someone who is mega-responsible has only come recently. Maybe Lionel is just being cautious. It is a lot of money, after all.
