The Victoria's Secret and Sports Illustrated model appeared in Manhattan Criminal Court on Tuesday where her lawyer said she would fight the misdemeanor assault charge.

White is accused of repeatedly punching another woman in the face over a cab outside the Avenue Lounge in Manhattan last October.

She is also charged with harassment.

The New York Daily News says the plea deal called for White to perform two days of community service, attend two days of anger management and pay $446 in restitution.

Defense lawyer Mark Heller said White would "be completely exonerated at trial."

"She is innocent," Heller told the paper.

White recently dated Oscar-winning actor Sean Penn and had previously dated actor Vin Diesel and singer John Legend.

According to the Daily News, she recently signed a deal with the Oxygen network for her own show.
