Cardi B was found not liable in a lawsuit brought by a security guard who alleged the rapper assaulted her at a doctor’s office in 2018. The jury deliberated for just over an hour before reaching a unanimous verdict in Cardi B’s favor. The security guard claimed Cardi B cut her face with a fingernail and spat on her during an argument. Cardi B testified that she did not touch the security guard and feared the guard was going to make her pregnancy public.

Cardi B wins case filed by security guard who claimed rapper assaulted her.
So, it seems like Cardi B has emerged victorious in the lawsuit brought against her by a security guard who alleged assault. The whole situation, from what I gather, was quite a spectacle, and the outcome really wasn’t all that surprising, considering the circumstances. Honestly, the whole case seemed pretty shaky from the start.
The security guard’s legal strategy, as it’s been described, seems questionable at best. Some are saying the lawyer was, let’s just say, less than stellar. Apparently, the attorney’s approach, including the way he addressed Cardi B, didn’t exactly win over the jury. It’s like the defense team knew from the get-go they were already at a disadvantage. This brings up a good point: sometimes, the best thing to do is to take the advice of the first few lawyers who advise against a case, especially if they are well-versed in the law and the likelihood of success.
The timeline of events also seems a little fishy. The incident reportedly occurred back in 2018, yet the lawsuit wasn’t filed until much later, which raises eyebrows. Also, the guard herself sought a significant amount of money, around $24 million, for what seemed to be a minor injury. It’s important to note that the security guard did not seek medical attention for her injury, which she didn’t even document.
And then there was the testimony. It sounds like a medical assistant or a secretary (the accounts vary) who was present during the alleged altercation, provided some pretty damaging information for the security guard’s case. This witness indicated that it was actually the guard, and not Cardi B, who caused her physical injury, further undermining the guard’s claims. The doctor also testified that he reported the guard for unprofessional conduct. The same witness also revealed that the guard attempted to persuade her into joining a lawsuit against Cardi B, which makes the whole situation a little suspicious.
Furthermore, Cardi B’s demeanor during the trial, as portrayed by some, played a part in her victory. It seems she handled herself confidently on the stand, and if she had actually committed an assault, one might expect a different approach. This, along with her direct responses, like admitting to calling the guard a “bitch” instead of denying any insult, created a perception of honesty. Also, her defense focused on the lack of evidence and the inconsistent accounts of the incident, which really hammered home the guard’s inability to make a compelling case.
The whole affair seems to have been quite a rollercoaster. It’s interesting to consider the different degrees of “innocence” in such cases. It really does raise a good question: could someone be “super completely innocent”? It seems like it’s possible that there are different levels of it, based on a person’s actions and even their approach to the case.
The way this played out certainly made for some interesting commentary. I mean, the case generated a lot of discussion and even made it into comedy skits. The guard’s lawyer, to put it mildly, was not well-liked. The seemingly strange questions, like the one about her “real hair,” just didn’t seem to connect with the facts of the case and may have ultimately hurt the plaintiff’s case.
Of course, we also have to think about Cardi B’s perspective. While she may have won the case, there were obviously some real sacrifices. She mentioned having to miss her children’s school activities because of the trial. It’s interesting how her personality has impacted the way some view the case.
Ultimately, the whole situation highlights the importance of solid legal counsel, the strength of evidence, and the way a case is presented. In the end, the security guard’s case was not successful, and Cardi B got the outcome she was looking for.
