Sports Illustrated supermodel Jessica White was in Manhattan Criminal Court yesterday, where she rejected a plea deal to an assault charge from last year. White has been accused of repeatedly punching another woman in the face over a cab outside the Avenue Lounge in Manhattan last October. She was charged with assault and harassment; the plea deal called for White to perform two days of community service, attend two days of anger management and pay $446 in restitution, but her lawyer vowed she would be exonerated.
White, who had been dating Sean Penn last year and has appeared in several music videos, has been called, "arguably the most successful black model in the [Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue's] history." Below, you can check out a clip of her at her day job:
