Cardi B scored a legal victory

Cardi B scored a legal victory after a jury found her not guilty in a civil assault case brought by a former security guard.

The ruling came after Cardi B spent more than two days testifying in the civil suit filed by Emani Ellis, a former security guard who accused her of assault during a 2018 incident at a medical office where she worked.

Following the verdict, Cardi B expressed relief, telling reporters she had even missed her children's first day of school over what she called a “frivolous” lawsuit.

She says she did not touch the girl nor lay hands on that her.

At the time, Cardi B was secretly pregnant and heading to an obstetrician appointment when she claimed Ellis began filming her without consent.

Cardi has consistently denied any assault, Ellis sued for $24 million, alleging assault, battery, and emotional distress, citing medical costs for a facial scratch. However, the court ultimately rejected her claims.

The next person to try to do a frivolous lawsuit against me, I’m going to countersue,” Cardi B says after the verdict people have these misinterpretations of celebrities.

Ellis, however, slammed Cardi B's courtroom behaviour as totally unprofessional telling reporters that the rapper's body language, body gestures, facial expressions, and disrespect for the court speak to who she is.
