Kris Jenner denies sexually harassing ex-bodyguard after lawsuit

Kris Jenner may have some legal drama to keep up with.

Jenner’s former security guard Marc McWilliams has sued her, David Shield Security, Armor Protection Services Inc. and Kourtney Kardashian for sexual harassment, fostering a hostile work environment, racial and gender discrimination and retaliation.

McWilliams claimed in court documents obtained by Page Six on Wednesday that starting in May 2017, he “became subject to a pattern of unwanted and unwelcome sexual advances and otherwise harassing misconduct” from his supervisor and Jenner, 64.

He alleged that Jenner made non-consensual physical contact with him in “an inappropriate and sexual nature,” but nothing happened after he complained to Jenner and his supervisors at Shield Security. McWilliams claimed that he also complained to human resources between May 2017 and September 2018, but no action was taken until Jenner “began intentionally retaliating against” him.

He claimed that he was “suspended” from working alongside Jenner in that same month, but continued to provide security for Kardashian, 41, before he said he was “terminated” from Jenner’s protection team.

McWilliams is seeking damages.

Jenner’s attorney, Marty Singer, told Page Six in a statement: “Kris Jenner and Kourtney Kardashian vehemently deny the completely false claims made by former security guard Marc McWilliams. His absurd allegations are clearly fabricated and are contrary to easily confirmed facts. Kris never acted inappropriately toward him.”

Singer further claimed:

“The security company stopped assigning McWilliams to work there after the guard was repeatedly caught sleeping in his car on the job. Significantly, McWilliams never made any complaints to his employer about Kris until contriving this ludicrous claim a year later. Although Kourtney is named in the suit, she is not accused of doing anything improper, nor did she do so. When Kris and Kourtney defeat this frivolous lawsuit, they intend to immediately sue McWilliams and his attorneys for malicious prosecution.”

McWilliams could not be immediately reached for comment.
