elevator

Ellis worked as a security guard at the Beverly Hills building where Cardi B had her medical appointment, and she testified that she was doing her rounds when she saw the celebrity exit the elevator.

Following the incident, he said he eventually persuaded Ellis to get on the elevator and leave the floor.

Cardi B said when she turned around after getting off the elevator, she heard Ellis say her name and then saw Ellis with her cellphone and said, “Why are you recording me?”

She joked: "Because he knows the elevator lady, he thought he could talk to her about just getting down to my dressing room. That's how it works in 1973."

He muscled it into the cage elevator, leashes in hand, the machine balanced against his hip like a prize wrested from fate.
