Cardi B @Cardi B will return to the witness stand tomorrow after testifying for about 50 minutes in her civil assault trial in Los Angeles County Superior Court today (Tuesday, August 26, day 2). Cardi is being sued by Emani Ellis, a now-former security guard at a medical center who claims Cardi assaulted her while pregnant and there for an appointment with an OB-GYN in February 2018. Ellis claims Cardi spit on her and called her the n-word racial epithet. Ellis’ lawyer Rob Rosen is a little, uh, rough around the edges in his questioning and entire approach to the trial, and his questioning of Cardi today exemplified this. He focused so much on the process and responses to discovery and witness disclosures, and he couldn’t get through the questioning without Judge Ian Fusselman sustaining an objection from Cardi’s lawyer Peter Anderson. Fusselman sustained Anderson’s objection for relevance when Rosen asked Cardi about her ethnic background, but he then asked if she considers herself African American and she answered, “I consider myself Afro Caribbean.” “Have you ever used the N-word with Ms. Emani Ellis?” Rosen asked today. “No,” Cardi answered.
