The jilted fiancee of celebrity chef Todd English got a tasty deal this morning on charges she beat her cooking cohort with an expensive watch.
Appearing in Manhattan Criminal Court, Erica Wang was informed by a judge that the charges would be dropped in six months if she attends anger management classes and adheres to a restraining order barring her from harassing English.
The deal also included that Wang do 10 days of community service.
Wang did not speak to reporters as she left court.
Acting on a domestic-violence complaint, cops slapped the cuffs on Wang — the woman English ditched at the altar last year — and charged her with slicing an inch-long gash above his eye with the sharp edge of a metal wristwatch.
English waited nearly a month to report the Sept. 14, 2009, incident, pressing charges a day after The Post published an exclusive interview with Wang in which she called him “an animal” for blowing off their wedding.
English, a Boston-based restaurateur and TV chef, abruptly canceled their planned Oct. 3 wedding at The St. Regis to party in Miami — but Wang stunned the 150 guests by going ahead with the lavish reception, which cost $150,000.
The following week, The Post ran an exclusive interview with Wang in which she detailed the collapse of what had been a fairy-tale romance.
“An animal wouldn’t treat another animal the way he has treated me,” Wang said. “He is forgetting I am human. I don’t deserve this. He has caused me, my friends and family so much pain.”
The next day, English, one of People magazine’s 50 Most Beautiful People in 2001 and star of “Cooking With Todd English,” filed the domestic-violence complaint against Wang.
