Lionel Richie (news) said that he was "scared to death" after hearing that his soon-to-be ex-wife, Diane Richie, was seeking $300,000 a month in support, according to BBC News. Diane, who filed for divorce earlier this year, claims that the couple led, quote, "an extraordinary extravagant lifestyle," and that Lionel didn't put any limits on how much money she could spend. The 54-year-old singer told BBC One, "I did call her on the phone when I read this and said 'that's a lot of money'." He said Diana had told him she had not demanded such a high amount of monthly support.
Meanwhile, Lionel described the separation as friendly. He said, "It's still in the stages now where we are rounding off to see where we are. You know, marriages go through their ups and downs. As I told her before, if it does happen to end, then I'll keep my fingers crossed and hope that we are friends at the end."
Diane is a former waitress, dancer and clothing designer. The couple met in 1984 and married in 1996.
