Don't Mess With Nick Lachey!

Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo had a run-in on Friday night at a pre-Kentucky derby party with a guy who was not so representative of Southern hospitality.
Nick Lachey/ Vanessa Minillo
According to Nick (via his reps), the couple were making their way through the party at Club Felt, led by Nick's bodyguard, when some guy yanked Nick's arm causing Vanessa to fall down. Dude! Don't push a lady down!

While Vanessa tried to calm her pissed off boytoy, nearby police took control of the situation and cuffed the guy. They asked Nick if he wanted to press charges, but Lachey and Minnillo were content to just put the night behind them.

Don't be grabbin' on the Nick, man!

31. Nick appears to be a pretty grounded and steady dude. And I bet he's pretty good in a fight, too.

35. Scrawny Nick? What are you insane? I've seen Nick up close and he has a great body. If Nick had hit that guy he would have ended up in the hospital instead of hand cuffs. You must be jealous, but I guess I wouldn't blame you. I think Nick handled the situation well. He didn't hit the guy and they ended up not pressing charges. Nick had every right to be furious. They might be celebrities but that does not give anyone the right to put their hands on them. They are people too and have rights just like everyone else. I don't think Vanessa was drunk and even if she was what does that have to do with anything, that still doesn't give that drunk ass the right to do what he did. I think it's sweet that Nick and Vanessa look out for each other. Vanessa's lucky she has Nick to protect her, everyone should be so lucky. I really hope they work. Good luck to them.

37. Why does he need a body guard? I don't know what Vanessa Minnillo sees in this guy. I like her so much better w/Derek Jeter.

38. Vanessa belongs in an Asian massage palor giving handjobs. Poor Nick shouldn't have to get his ass kicked over this gold digging ho.

39. On Newlyweds, Nick got heated when a waitor spilled something on Jessica's dress in Miami. He needs to chill and stop pretending to be a man when he's standing next to a big, burly bodyguard.

40. Hah, hah, hah, Damn Nick lackey is an ugly bastard and Vanessa Minillo is an ugly bitch too. He did a good thing buy knockin her ugly ass over. And If she is pregnant that's gonna be only ugly looking baby because Nick and Vanessa both have big, wide jaws so there kid will be ugly anyways. By the way that ugly bitch Vanessa DID NOT make FHM's top 100 most sexy woman list because she's so ugly! hah, hah, ugly losers!

43. Nick and Vanessa are the world's most boring couple. He is a has- been and she is a nobody.

44. You people who are slamming Nick and Vanessa are just JEALOUS and need to grow up. Nick is much better off with Vanessa. She is a classy lady. You don't see her going out clubbing everynight and wearing slutty clothes like Jessica is doing. She's not an attention whore like Jessica is. Nick is a classy guy too. They both do their best to keep their relationship private. That is probably one of the things that is making it work for them. I am glad Nick and Vanessa are together. I hope they get married someday when they are both ready. They will have beautiful children.

45. Nick isn't small, I bet he could clock the guy. ;) Good for him for standing up for his girl...every woman wants that, no?
