Cardi B Awarded Legal Fees After Winning Assault Lawsuit
Cardi B is awarded the right to recover legal fees after winning her security guard assault lawsuit.
Cardi B continues her streak of legal wins after a judge ruled that she can recover money from a security guard who previously sued her for assault. The decision comes months after a jury unanimously sided with the rapper, rejecting the claims brought against her in the high-profile case.
The lawsuit stemmed from a 2018 incident, where the former security guard accused Cardi B of physical assault during an encounter. However, the jury ultimately found no evidence to support the allegations, clearing the Grammy-winning artist of all claims.
Following that victory, a Los Angeles judge has now granted Cardi B the right to recover nearly $20,000 in legal fees and trial costs associated with the case.
The ruling marks yet another win for Cardi B in a series of legal battles, reinforcing her stance against what she has previously described as frivolous lawsuits. The rapper has remained vocal about defending herself in court while continuing to balance her career in music and entertainment.
