Did you know that Kris Jenner’s former bodyguard accused her of SA in a massive multi-million-dollar lawsuit? Probably not, since she basically made the whole thing disappear.
So how exactly did she manage to keep her ex-bodyguard’s shocking accusations under wraps? The details surrounding his lawsuit and how Kris kept it out of the public eye are crazy, so let’s break them down.
According to legal documents obtained by Page Six, Kris’s former security guard, Marc McWilliams, filed a lawsuit against her in September 2020. In his filing, Marc accused Kris of SA, creating a hostile work environment, retaliation, and “racial and gender discrimination.”

The court papers stated that Marc began working as Kris’s bodyguard in early 2017. But what happened shortly after his employment started was totally insane.
In Marc’s lawsuit, he claimed that in May of that year, Kris began making “unwanted and unwelcome” advances toward him, including touching him inappropriately. Allegedly, that happened on several different occasions, despite Marc telling Kris to stop every single time.
According to BET, Marc amended his lawsuit in February 2021 to add a detailed breakdown of one of those unsettling instances. He said that an incident had occurred on October 22, 2017, which he described as “traumatic.”
Kris Insisted That She and Marc Go For a Drive
Marc claimed that on that particular day, Kris had made a pretty specific request regarding what she wanted to do. She reportedly wanted to take one of her luxury cars out for a quick drive and told him to sit beside her in the passenger seat.
Even though it may have sounded innocent at first, the situation soon turned into an absolute nightmare. Marc wrote that Kris allegedly began flirting with him and making comments that were extremely suggestive. Then, she supposedly started touching him inappropriately without his consent.

Marc added that he made it clear to Kris that he was upset by her disturbing actions. He even reportedly tried to avoid her uninvited contact by turning his body away from her. She still didn’t stop.
The report published by Page Six revealed that right after that incident, Marc allegedly told his managers all about it. But what happened after he filed a complaint with the higher-ups at the security company was honestly unbelievable.
Marc explained in his filing that unfortunately, nothing improved after he brought his concerns to his supervisors. Not only did Kris’s reported creepy behavior toward him continue, but it supposedly started happening even more frequently.
Marc Reported Kris to Human Resources
According to court documents obtained by The Blast, Marc claimed that Kris also regularly made remarks that were of a romantic nature to him and about his appearance. He wrote that she would allegedly even ask him certain types of questions that left him feeling stunned and disgusted.
Marc mentioned that some of Kris’s comments were reportedly intended to pressure him to get into a relationship with her. She supposedly made inappropriate remarks about her other employees and their intimate lives as well within earshot of Marc. But that wasn’t all.
Marc also accused Kris of allegedly exposing certain private areas of her unclothed body to him. He added that there were also occasions where she would reportedly cause parts of her body to purposely make contact with him. He never consented to any of those instances.
Marc eventually got to the point where he could no longer dismiss or ignore Kris’s alarming advances. Since the security managers wouldn’t address his concerns, he filed a complaint about Kris with the company’s human resources department.
But what happened next was completely unexpected. Instead of helping Marc, the HR department simply refused to confront Kris. When she discovered that he had complained about her appalling actions, her toxic behavior allegedly took a shocking turn.
Marc claimed in his lawsuit that Kris retaliated against him by making false claims to the HR department about his work ethic and character. She supposedly said that he had repeatedly been late to his shifts and had a very unprofessional attitude.
Not surprisingly, Marc was reportedly suspended from working as Kris’s bodyguard. But what happened immediately after his shifts with her were removed from his schedule was outrageous.
Marc Was Terminated from the Security Team
Marc wrote in his filing that he was assigned to work as Kourtney’s bodyguard, which didn’t make much sense. He wasn’t working directly with Kris anymore, but he still had to deal with being around her, until everything suddenly came crashing down.
In September 2018, Marc was ultimately fired from the security team, which he believed was “wrongful termination.” He claimed that before he was terminated, Kris and Kourtney tried to intimidate him, in an attempt to prevent any legal action against them. It turns out that they had allegedly belittled, mocked, and humiliated him before he was fired.
Marc believed he was mistreated by Kris and Kourtney because he was a Black man. This is why he also accused them of racial and gender discrimination in his lawsuit.
However, it wasn’t long before Kris had her attorney fire back at Marc’s claims. In a statement released to People Magazine, Kris’s lawyer, Marty Singer, said that the allegations Marc had made in his lawsuit were “absurd.”
In a separate report, Marty shared details of Marc’s employment that painted a totally different picture altogether. According to Radar Online, Marty claimed that Kris had barely ever interacted with Marc while he was working as a bodyguard for her famous family, and she never acted inappropriately. He added that Marc had supposedly never even stepped foot into Kris’s house.
Marty also explained that Marc was fired by the security company for a completely legitimate reason. Allegedly, on several different occasions, he was caught sleeping during his scheduled shift, which eventually resulted in his termination. The outlet reported that Marc was seeking $3 million in damages.
They Settled the Lawsuit Privately
Kris and Marty seemed to be trying their hardest to brush Marc’s allegations aside and shut his lawsuit down. In January 2022, the Daily Mail revealed that Kris and Marc agreed to try to settle the lawsuit privately.
The judge who oversaw their case gave them one year, to negotiate and hopefully reach a settlement. In October 2023, Page Six reported that Marc had actually asked the judge to dismiss his lawsuit “with prejudice.”
That meant it would be completely dropped, and he couldn’t take the same case to court again. Marc allegedly requested that his “entire action” be dismissed, meaning his allegations against Kris, Kourtney, and the security company he worked for would be dropped. Since Marc and Kris had reportedly settled the lawsuit and damages privately, the details of any potential payments she’d made to him weren’t publicly revealed.
Despite the settlement being reached outside the courtroom, it’s still crazy that Marc’s lawsuit wasn’t all over the news. Ever since the Kardashians and Jenners took over multiple industries, they’ve done their best to spin any publicity they get into a positive.
It’s undeniable that Kris and her kids have a lot of wealth, power, fame, and influence. When Kris created the family empire, she also formed numerous connections that she’s been able to call on for favors throughout the years.
Whether it’s manipulating the media or keeping something under wraps, the Kardashians have the power and money to do both. They’ve managed to keep the lawsuit that Brandy and Ray J’s mom filed against them for allegedly stealing over a hundred thousand dollars from her almost a total secret.
So it’s unsurprising that Kris might have pulled some strings to do the same with Marc’s lawsuit. Either way, the accusations that he made against Kris were downright shocking.
