Cardi B Testifies in Court: Denies Physical Altercation with Security Guard

Cardi B testified in court that she did not physically touch a security guard who accused her of cutting her face and spitting on her during an altercation outside a doctor's office while she was pregnant. The argument between Cardi and the security guard, Emani Ellis, escalated, but Cardi maintained that it never turned physical. The incident took place in February 2018 when Cardi was four months pregnant with her first child and trying to keep her pregnancy private. Ellis, who was a security guard at the building, followed Cardi to her appointment, leading to a heated exchange between the two women.

During the trial, Cardi explained that she was keeping her pregnancy a secret at the time due to concerns about public perception and her privacy. The argument with Ellis, who was larger in size, did not result in any physical altercation, according to Cardi's testimony. The incident left Ellis with a scar on her face that required cosmetic surgery, and she is seeking damages for medical expenses, emotional distress, lost wages, and punitive damages. The trial, which is a rare celebrity case in Alhambra, is expected to resume next week after a break.

The testimony from Cardi and other witnesses shed light on the altercation between Cardi B and the security guard, Emani Ellis, outside the doctor's office. Cardi denied physically touching Ellis and emphasized the importance of privacy, especially during a pregnancy. The trial will continue next week to determine the outcome of the case.
