Cardi B, 32, took the stand at a small Alhambra courthouse over a lawsuit stemming from a February 24, 2018 incident at a Beverly Hills obstetrician's office. Former security guard Emani Ellis alleges Cardi B physically attacked her in a hallway—striking her head, face and body, scratching, spitting and using racial slurs—and sued for $24 million. Cardi B, who was about four months pregnant then, denies touching Ellis and says the encounter was verbal, claiming Ellis followed and appeared to film her on the fifth floor. Video of Cardi B's animated courtroom testimony has gone viral and prompted amusement online.
The case itself dates back seven years to 24 February, 2018 when Cardi B - who was around four months pregnant at the time - was attending an appointment at an obstetrician's office in Beverly Hills. The office's former security guard Emani Ellis alleged the rapper, who is bisexual, physically attacked her a the hallway whereby she struck her head, face and body, scratched her, spat on her and used racial slurs, subsequently filing a lawsuit for $24 million. Cardi B denies all the allegations.
During the trial, Cardi B has alleged Ellis followed her to the fifth floor of the building, where her appointment was, and appeared to be filming her. The rapper said she was concerned the footage would reveal she was pregnant, which was not publicly known at the time. "I told her, 'Why are you recording?' and she said, 'Oh my bad.' She practically apologised," she testified.
