Update: 2025-12-20
Description
Reid Carter counts down #4 on the Top 10 Crime and Justice Stories of 2025: Cardi B's viral courtroom victory. Security guard Emani Ellis sued for $24 million claiming the rapper scratched her face with a three-inch fingernail and spat on her at a Beverly Hills doctor's office in 2018. Seven years later, trial goes viral. Cardi's testimony spawns memes—confused lawyer asks about her changing hair, she laughs: "They're wigs." Jury deliberates one hour. Unanimous verdict: not liable. Outside court, Cardi warns future accusers: "I'm not that celeb you sue thinking I'm gonna settle." Ellis denied new trial in December.
