Cardi B Cleared of Assault in $24M Security Guard Case

American rapper Cardi B has been cleared by a California court of assaulting a former security guard in 2018.

The $24 million lawsuit was filed by Emani Ellis, who claimed the artist then pregnant  cut her cheek with a fingernail and spat on her during an altercation at a Beverly Hills obstetrician’s office.

After less than an hour of deliberation, a 12-member Los Angeles jury unanimously ruled in favor of the Grammy-winning rapper, citing insufficient evidence from the plaintiff.

Court Rejects Assault Claims

Ellis alleged that Cardi B physically attacked her, but jurors found the testimony unconvincing.

The rapper acknowledged that an argument occurred but firmly denied laying hands on the former guard.

Cardi B Testifies in Her Defense

During two days of livestreamed testimony, Cardi B told the court she feared Ellis might disclose her pregnancy before she made it public.

She insisted the confrontation never became violent.

“I will say it on my deathbed. I did not touch that woman. I did not touch that girl. I didn’t lay my hands on that girl,” she said after the verdict.
