Cardi B dodged another court battle after a judge tossed the security guard's request for a retrial over that 2018 Beverly Hills medical office incident. Los Angeles County Judge Ian Fusselman rejected Emani Ellis's claims that jurors got scared when Cardi dropped a pen on the ground and told some YouTuber named Donat Ricketts to back off outside the courthouse. The rapper was secretly pregnant at the time, and her legal team proved the jury intimidation angle was basically made up.
The original trial wrapped up with jurors spending just one hour deciding Cardi never touched Ellis, and the judge said outside drama had zero effect on their decision. Cardi went hard afterward, saying she would swear on her deathbed that she never laid hands on anyone, and she threatened to countersue the next person who tries filing bogus claims against her.
