Cardi B\u2019s infamous microphone-throw incident<\/a> is being raised again, almost two years after it took place in Las Vegas. <\/p>\n

An Ohio woman is suing the 32-year-old \u201cBodak Yellow\u201d rapper, claiming battery, assault and negligence. The owners of Drai\u2019s Beachclub and Nightclub, where the incident took place on July 29, 2023, are also being sued for negligence. The suit was filed days before the statute of limitations<\/a> in Nevada for such charges ran out. <\/p>\n

According to court documents filed in Clark County on Monday, the plaintiff \u2014 who chose to go by Jane Doe because of \u201cpsychiatric trauma\u201d \u2014 alleges that during Cardi B\u2019s performance, she encouraged the audience to \u201csplash water on her\u201d amid \u201cvisibly high-temperature conditions.\u201d Though she initially approved, allegedly pouring water on herself and stating \u201cWooh that s\u2014 feel good,\u201d it was when the plaintiff partook that the rapper abruptly and \u201cforcefully\u201d threw her microphone.<\/p>\n

The object is said to have hit Jane Doe, with Cardi B shouting \u201cI said splash my p\u2014, not my face, b\u2014.\u201d Documents called it an \u201cunreasonable escalation\u201d that resulted in \u201charmful and offensive contact.\u201d Though the deed was investigated<\/a> by police at the time, the rapper was not charged. Representatives for Cardi B did not immediately respond on Thursday to The Times\u2019 request for comment.<\/p>\n

Just weeks later the microphone was auctioned on eBay and fetched $99,000. It is a key part of the case, as Jane Doe claims the sale \u201cexacerbated emotional distress.\u201d At the time, sellers told TMZ<\/a> that the money would be given to two charities \u2014 the Wounded Warrior Project and Friendship Circle Las Vegas, a local program that helps individuals with special needs.<\/p>\n

The plaintiff is seeking damages up to $15,000 for alleged physical and emotional injuries, as well as reputational harm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cardi B\u2019s infamous microphone-throw incident is being raised again, almost two years after it took place in Las…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":34793,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[53],"tags":[3072,8308,28721,28295,28720,88,28347,2114,28719,28345,216,25555,14861,28718,28717,2384,282],"class_list":["post-34792","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-assault","tag-battery","tag-beachclub","tag-cardi-b","tag-court-document","tag-entertainment","tag-jane-doe","tag-las-vegas","tag-mic-throw-incident","tag-microphone","tag-music","tag-negligence","tag-place","tag-plaintiff","tag-rapper","tag-time","tag-water"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34792","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=34792"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34792\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/34793"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=34792"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=34792"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=34792"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
