TMZ reports that a rep from celebrity couple Kim Kardashian and Kanye West has threatened to sue bodyguard Steve Stanulis for $30 million for telling people he had been fired because Kanye got jealous that he had spoken with Kim.
The couples' legal team cites that ex-NYPD cop Steve Stanulis had signed a confidentiality agreement when he was hired to protect Kardashian on her trip to New York for the Met Gala wrote The New York Daily News. That agreement held the signee, in this case Stanulis, liable for $10 million if he broke confidence; The couple denies the accusation saying it's a complete lie and since Stanulis has done at least 3 interviews already, he's now threatened with a $30 million lawsuit unless he ceases to speak to media and well, grovel.
The ex-cop, who claims he is owed $1100 for 3 days of work, said he had called to ask for his pay but was told by the contractor that Kanye's group had rejected the invoice and asked that Stanulis be told to get paid by Inside Edition instead.
Inside Edition reports that the bodyguard had been warned against getting close to Kardashian. Reports claimed that Stanulis had been seen speaking with Kardashian outside the presidential suite at the Waldorf Astoria in Manhattan which the bodyguard denies ever having done claiming he's a happily married man with 3 children.
This is not the first time the couple has gone and sued people for breach of confidentiality. In 2013, they also went after Chad Hurley who had videotaped Kanye's wedding proposal to Kim at the AT&T Park in San Francisco and posted it on Mixbit. They went after the former YouTube founder and sued for $440,000.
On one hand, we have the couple suing a Steve Stanulis, a bodyguard who claims the couple owes him $1100, for $30 million. On the other hand we had them suing former YouTube founder Chad Hurley for $440,000. Chad Hurley had sold YouTube for $1.6 billion. Go figure.
