Cardi B Wins Royalties Fight: Guard's Appeal Denied
6 Dec
Summary
- Judge denied plaintiff's motion for a new trial in Cardi B case.
- Cardi B won her second legal victory concerning a 2018 incident.
- Lawyer for plaintiff may face sanctions for trial misconduct.
Cardi B has once again prevailed in her legal battle with a security guard, Emani Ellis, who alleged the rapper scratched her face in 2018. A Los Angeles County judge denied Ellis's bid for a new trial, reinforcing a jury's unanimous verdict in Cardi B's favor.
This recent ruling solidifies Cardi B's position, marking her second significant legal triumph stemming from the 2018 confrontation outside a Beverly Hills doctor's office. The judge dismissed claims that key evidence was improperly withheld and found no evidence of juror intimidation, despite an incident where Cardi B threw a pen outside the courthouse.
Furthermore, the plaintiff's attorney, Ron Rosen Janfaza, is slated for potential sanctions due to alleged misconduct during the trial, including repeatedly referencing barred testimony. This victory adds to Cardi B's history of successful legal outcomes, including previous substantial jury verdicts.
