Jury clears Cardi B in assault lawsuit filed by security guard, after brief deliberation.

A California jury cleared rapper Cardi B of assault allegations in a civil lawsuit filed by security guard Emani Ellis, who claimed Cardi B attacked her in 2018. The jury, after less than an hour of deliberation, sided with Cardi B, who testified she never touched Ellis but admitted to cursing at her. The plaintiff sought $24 million in damages. Cardi B vowed to file a countersuit if named in future "frivolous lawsuits."
