Cardi B’s Attorneys Blast Attempt To Reopen A$$ault Case By Former Security Guard: Absolutely Frivolous

#CardiB’s legal team has called the motion for a new trial filed by former security guard Emani Ellis, who accused the rapper of a$$ault, “entirely frivolous.”

Her attorneys argue that the bid comes after a jury cleared her of all related claims and that there is no ground to reopen the case. “[Ellis] fails to establish any permitted grounds for a new trial,” Cardi’s attorneys write in their opposition filed on Wednesday (Nov. 12). They add, “Instead, she repeats her counsel’s accusations of misconduct that are both false and not grounds for a new trial.”

The case stemmed from a $24 million lawsuit filed by Ellis, who alleged #Cardi a$$aulted, spat on, and used racial slurs against her during a 2018 altercation at a Beverly Hills medical office.

A Los Angeles jury unanimously found Cardi not liable for after deliberating for less than an hour.

Outside the courthouse, Cardi affirmed her innocence: “I did not touch that woman.” She went on to say, “With that being said, this time around I’m gonna be nice. The next person to try to do a frivolous lawsuit against me, I’m going to countersue and make you pay because this is not OK.”
