Cardi B Victorious in Legal Battle Against Security Guard's Assault Allegations

Cardi B celebrated a decisive legal triumph on Tuesday in a California court, where a jury swiftly ruled in her favor against Emani Ellis, a security guard who accused the rapper of assaulting her during a visit to a doctor’s office amid her first pregnancy. After roughly an hour of deliberation, the six-man, six-woman jury unanimously found Cardi not liable for allegations that she scratched Ellis's face with a fingernail and spat on her in February 2018.Addressing reporters outside the courtroom, Cardi declared her intention to counter-sue anyone pursuing frivolous claims against her, asserting, "I am not going to settle, especially when I am completely innocent." During the trial, she expressed frustration over missing her children’s first day of school and reflected on her experience with the media frenzy surrounding the case.Ellis maintains the incident left her traumatized and jobless, seeking damages for emotional distress and medical expenses. Cardi's testimony, marked by strong denials of physical contact, contrasted sharply with Ellis’s claims, though a receptionist’s account aligned more closely with Cardi’s narrative.
