"Cardi B returned to the witness stand on Wednesday in a civil suit brought by a security guard who alleged that the rapper assaulted her - even scratching her with one of her nail extensions - in a 2018 incident in the hallway outside a Beverly Hills obstetrician's office. On Wednesday, the performer blasted the plaintiff, saying she is looking for a payout. Emani Ellis is seeking $24 million. Cardi B said the pair went chest-to-chest and exchanged heated words but nothing more."
"Receptionist Tierra Malcolm told jurors that she saw Ellis corner Cardi B - and then, when the receptionist got between them, the guard reached for the rapper. The receptionist said she ended up with a cut on her own forehead. Dr. David Finke testified that he saw the guard cause that injury and also hit the receptionist's shoulder. He further said that Ellis had no injuries to her face. Both testified they never saw Cardi B hit Ellis."
