A 12-member jury in Alhambra, California deliberated about an hour and found Cardi B not liable in a civil lawsuit brought by Emani Ellis. Ellis alleged Cardi cut her face with a fingernail and spat on her in a Beverly Hills obstetrician hallway in February 2018. Only nine jurors were required for a verdict, and the decision in Cardi's favor was unanimous. Cardi said she is innocent, threatened to counter-sue frivolous plaintiffs, and described personal impacts including missing her kids' first day of school and scalp irritation from wig changes. She denied any physical contact and called some public questions disrespectful.
The jury of six men and six women at a small courthouse in Alhambra, California deliberated for only about an hour before finding Cardi not liable in the lawsuit brought by Emani Ellis, who alleged Cardi cut her face with a fingernail and spat on her in the hallway of a Beverly Hills obstetrician in February of 2018. Only nine of the 12 jurors were required for a verdict in the civil case, but their decision in Cardi's favor was unanimous.
The next person who tries to do a frivolous lawsuit against me, I'm going to counter-sue, and I'm gonna make you pay, because this is not OK, she said outside the courthouse, where she posed for pictures with fans. I am not that celeb that you sue, and you think is going to settle. I'm not gonna settle. Especially when I'm super completely innocent.
In two days of testimony last week that were livestreamed, widely viewed and full of viral moments, the hip-hop star testified she feared that Ellis was going to make her pregnancy public. She acknowledged that the two argued, but said it never got physical. I will say it on my deathbed. I did not touch that woman, she said after her win.
