Cardi B Prevails in Security Guard's New Trial Bid After He Claims She Scratched His Face Outside Beverly Hills Doctor's Office.
A Los Angeles County Judge has denied a security guard's request for a new trial after he claimed Grammy-winning rapper Cardi B scratched his face with an acrylic fingernail outside a Beverly Hills doctor’s office in 2018.
The verdict came three months after Cardi B emerged victorious in her own trial against the security guard, Emani Ellis, who claimed she physically assaulted him at the obstetrician's office on February 24, 2018.
Judge Ian Fusselman rejected Ellis' claim that two eyewitnesses should have been barred for late disclosure and dismissed the argument that jurors were intimidated by Cardi B after she threw a pen outside the courthouse shortly before the September 2 verdict in her favor.
Cardi B was found not guilty of physically assaulting security guard Emani Ellis at an obstetrician's office in 2018. The judge rejected Ellis' claim that two eyewitnesses should have been barred for late disclosure and dismissed the argument that jurors were intimidated by Cardi B after she threw a pen outside the courthouse.
The jury returned a verdict on September 2, finding Cardi B not liable for physical or emotional damages inflicted upon Emani Ellis. It was determined that Ellis failed to prove that the rapper physically assaulted her at an obstetrician's office in February of last year.

cardi b is a total boss and i'm so glad she won that trial again. all these rich celebs gotta deal with people like emani ellis who think they can just make up crazy stories and expect to get away with it 
it's just not gonna fly, girl 
. I mean, if he really believed she scratched him, shouldn't that have been proven by now? It seems like he's just trying to appeal the verdict again and maybe get some more $$ out of it 
. The judge was right to deny the request and uphold Cardi B's original not guilty verdict 
.
this guy got served in court and can't accept it 
cardi b proved she didn't scratch his face and now he's trying to pull a fast one by claiming two witnesses were late with their testimony 
i mean, come on ellis, you should've thought of that before you decided to sue cardi b in the first place 
cardi b is still getting dragged into court and she just got a security guard who claimed she scratched his face outside a doctor's office denied a new trial bid lol what else you gonna do at your age? 3 months after she already won her case, the judge rejected another guy's claim that he was assaulted by cardi b in 2018. guess this guy is trying to get famous off cardi b's name
