Cardi B Cleared of Assault Charges in Civil Case, Plans Countersuit
I’m Jordan Collins, your go-to guide for all things celebrity gossip, and I’m here to break down the latest news on Cardi B. I suppose it’s time to fill you in on the details, so let’s get started.
Cardi B has been found not liable in a civil case brought against her by Emani Ellis, a former security guard who claimed the rapper assaulted her in a Beverly Hills obstetrician’s office back in 2018. A unanimous jury delivered the verdict, clearing Cardi B of all charges and eliminating the possibility of her having to pay $24 million in damages.
The drama began when Ellis sued Cardi B in 2020, alleging that the “Bodak Yellow” rapper hit her, cut her face, spit on her, and hurled racial slurs during a heated argument. However, Cardi B took the stand last week and denied all of Ellis’s claims, stating that she got into a verbal altercation with Ellis, who was working security at her obstetrician’s office at the time.
According to Cardi B, Ellis was recording her with a phone and publicizing her doctor’s visit while she was pregnant with her first child. Cardi B’s doctor and his receptionist both testified that they never saw Cardi B hit Ellis, which further supported Cardi B’s claims.
In a bold move, Cardi B plans to turn the tables and file a countersuit against Ellis. It’s clear that Cardi B is not going to let this case go without a fight. Throughout the trial, Cardi B showed up in court in L.A. County multiple times, wearing fancy outfits and different hairstyles, and accessorized with expensive bling.
From the beginning, Cardi B has maintained that the civil suit was nothing more than a cash grab. It seems that the jury agreed, as they found her not liable on all counts. This verdict is a major win for Cardi B, and it’s clear that she’s relieved to have this ordeal behind her.
As for what’s next, it will be interesting to see how Cardi B’s countersuit plays out. Will she be able to prove that Ellis was the aggressor, or will Ellis continue to claim that Cardi B was the one who attacked her?
One thing is certain: Cardi B is not going down without a fight. With her reputation and finances on the line, she’s determined to clear her name and come out on top.
