Cardi claimed she was pregnant with her daughter Kulture at the time but had yet to reveal the news to the world.
In the lawsuit, Cardi denied all allegations of wrongdoing. The musician accused Ellis of provoking the incident and said her actions were done in self-defense.

Cardi’s lawyer wrote, “This is an alleged assault and battery case in which [Ellis] claims that she was scratched by [Cardi’s] fingernail during a verbal altercation that ensued after Plaintiff, a security guard, was caught attempting to take pictures of a pregnant Defendant (whose pregnancy was unannounced) during Defendant’s visit to her ob/gyn.”
In addition, “[Ellis] does not have a single picture of herself or the alleged scratch. Further, [Ellis] did not obtain any purported medical treatment until 4 years after the alleged incident.”
Cardi presented the information as part of her effort to block Ellis from using six doctors as testifying experts.
Ellis has yet to respond.
