"You have been charged with a misdemeanor domestic battery," said the judge. "Do you know what you have been charged with?"

"Yes, your honor," the star said quietly.

Last month, E! News can confirm the 30-year-old former "Glee" star was no longer moving forward with her divorce from husband Ryan Dorsey, who is from West Virginia. She filed a request for dismissal of the divorce paperwork, which she originally filed in November 2016.

On Thanksgiving, Rivera posted a smiling and happy photo of the couple's son, Josey.

The photo is tagged with Dorsey's name and captioned, "Josey is the cuteeeest!! #joseyhollisdorsey #nayarivera #ryandorsey #thanksgiving."

A source told E! News, "She is back together with Ryan Dorsey. They want to make it work for the sake of their son."

Meanwhile, Rivera dated the "Pitch" actor before breaking up and getting engaged to Big Sean in 2013.

However, when the rapper called off the wedding a year later, she immediately reunited with Dorsey. They got married three months after getting back together, tying the knot in a secret wedding ceremony in Mexico in July 2014.

E! News has reached out to a rep for the actress, who starred as Santana Lopez on the hit FOX series from 2009-2015.
