Summary

Last March, the heat really got turned up on “98 Degrees” boy-bander Nick Lachey after he got in a pap-scrap with a photographer from TMZ. The “Love is Blind” host didn’t appreciate being snapped while out with wife Vanessa Lachey, and he approached the paparazzo to make his feelings known. Things escalated from there, and charges were eventually filed against the singer. And now, almost a year later, the verdict is in…and it’s time for Nick to face the music.
