When a former boy band singer extraordinaire nabbed a job hosting Love Is Blind with his wife, all seemed good in Nick Lachey’s world. The normally calm existence of Nick and Vanessa Lachey shifted on Oscar night 2022.
After enjoying a dinner out and maybe having one too many adult beverages, Nick and Vanessa emerged from a restaurant. They noticed a photographer across the street, and she was sitting in her car snapping photos of the couple. Allow me to remind you, this is normal in Hollywood.
The shock of having someone interested in taking his photo must have been too much for Nick. He became somewhat enraged and approached photographer Jody Santos in her vehicle. He called her a “p***y mother f**cker” and allegedly began punching her closed car window. When Jody inquired as to why Nicky was so upset, he reached through her window and tried to grab her phone.
Vanessa ALLEGEDLY did very little to defuse the situation. It’s said, rather, she was cheering him on from the sidelines as he attempted to intimidate the now flustered Jody. The next day, Nick acknowledged on Twitter he “overreacted” after dining out with his wife, but it wasn’t enough for Jody who was probably traumatized from being threatened by a man who reached his peak when tribal tattoos were a thing.
In a previous interview with The Daily Mail, Jody shared, “In all my years of photographing celebrities, no one has ever tried to hit me. 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.”
Nick has since been ordered to attend Alcoholics Anonymous and anger management classes. Now Vanessa is speaking about the incident. According to Us Weekly, she’s not condoning his behavior, but she’s standing by her man.
A source shared, “Vanessa likes to look at the bright side of things. She stands by Nick, but she agrees that he didn’t handle the situation correctly.” I guess the “bright side” is someone knowing who they were. The insider added, “He behaved inappropriately. She says this whole ordeal has been a wake up call and that we can all learn from it, especially Nick.”
With all due respect, it’s not like Nick is an outlaw on the run in the Old West. That said, this is the first time he’s had any repeated media attention in about 20 years, so by all means go ahead and milk it. Nick can relax because it will probably be another entire decade before someone wants his photo again.
TELL US- DO YOU THINK NICK LEARNED HIS LESSON? ARE YOU SURPRISED HE LOST HIS COOL WITH A PHOTOGRAPHER? SHOULD HE HAVE TO ATTEND ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS BECAUSE OF THIS?
