Jessica White Gets Anger Management, Community Service & Fine After Assault Charges

Model Jessica White has had her day in court.

The Sports Illustrated swimsuit stunner was arrested and charged with misdemeanor assault back in October, after allegedly attacking a woman, Vanessa Kia, outside of a Manhattan nightclub. In March, White and her then-lawyer Mark Heller rejected a plea deal, turning down two days of community service, two days of anger management and $446.96 in restitution.

At the time, Heller claimed that surveillance tapes show that White "did absolutely nothing wrong. [Kia] threw herself at [White's] group, and started pushing and fighting with them....She recognized she was Jessica White, and was shouting, 'You're a celebrity. I'm going to take you down.'"

White went before a judge on Wednesday, who ordered her to pay $490 (for Kia's emergency room bill), perform three days of community service and attend two days of anger management classes, the New York Daily News reports. All charges will be dropped, provided she isn't arrested again in the next six months.

David Smith, the attorney who accompanied White to court, told the Daily News, "It is not an admission of my client's guilt. This case will now correctly end in a complete dismissal."

White, for her part, seemed ecstatic. She told the New York Post, "Of course, I'm extremely excited with [the result]....It really weighed on me heavily since October," adding, "For my birthday, Russell [Simmons] paid for meditation classes. He's one of my greatest supporters and pushed me into humanitarian work. I don't have anyone around me that's not spiritual."

Along with the meditation -- and anger management -- classes, and community service, White will also be penning a book. Read more about that here.

I think she needs more than just Anger Management! Maybe the Dalai Lama has the right idea?

There are enduring benefits from that good ol' "slap in da mouth" some of got when we "mouthed off" to Mom, Dad or any other adult. We got a lot smarter about life and more mature in our daily interactions with others. Unfortunately Jessica White seems to have had a disipline deficient childhood.

She has accepted responsibility. She went to court and she's been sentenced. Not much more she can do. Other than apologize. But before we condem this young lady, I'm curious to know what did the other young lady do or say to provoke her actions. Celebrity or not, verbal abuse is just as offensive as physical abuse, and if she was being attacked in either way her emotions took over and she kicked her butt. In my opinion....nothing more than a chick fight outside a club....the victim lost....realized who the young woman was, and figured out how to make a quick buck. Can someone say "LAW SUIT"

This girl needs to calm down; one Naomi Campbell is more than enough.

All models need anger management. If someone is starving themselves they certainly aren't going to be happy.
