Nick Lachey has been ordered to attend anger management classes and Alcoholics Anonymous meetings one year after being charged with assault and battery against a photographer.
In documents obtained by the Daily Mail, Lachey has been mandated to go to 52 weeks of AA meetings and anger management classes. In March 2022, he got into a heated altercation with celebrity photographer Jody Santos in Beverly Hills. Lachey reportedly tried to grab her phone and cursed at her after realizing she was taking photos of him and his wife, Vanessa Lachey.
“In all my years of photographing celebrities, no one has ever tried to hit me,” Santos told the outlet. “I am just relieved that I rolled up my window as fast as I did, otherwise he would have knocked me out. No doubt about it.”
She added, “Nick’s not really on the radar. I just saw him and I figured I would get a shot of a couple coming out of a restaurant. I have taken photos of him plenty of times and never had a problem, but this time was different.”
