Cardi pled guilty to two misdemeanor charges, for third-degree assault and reckless endangerment, and has been punished to 15 days of community service. However, the original indictment included 12 charges, including two felonies. All 10 of the remaining charges were dismissed. The sisters claim that Cardi believed Jade had slept with her husband — Offset of Migos, who were performing at the club that night — and ordered her staff to throw bottles and chairs at them.
