Even famed momager Kris Jenner found herself in a legal scuffle against her former employees, but unlike others, hers dragged on for multiple years. In 2020, former bodyguard Marc McWilliams filed a lawsuit against the Kardashian matriarch for “embarking on a pattern of conduct involving non-consensual physical contact with [McWilliams] of an inappropriate and sexual nature,” as noted by documents obtained by People. In his filing, McWilliams claimed that Jenner repeatedly made sexually charged remarks and initiated unwanted physical contact. When he asked the reality star to stop, she allegedly “ignored all such requests.”
In an attempt to address the situation, McWilliams escalated the matter to his agency, only to face what he described as a “campaign of harassment, intimidation and further torment.” His working hours were reportedly slashed, leading to his eventual suspension from his duties. In response, Jenner’s legal team, spearheaded by attorney Marty Singer, denied all of McWilliams’ accusations. “His absurd allegations are clearly fabricated and are contrary to easily confirmed facts,” his statement to ET read, adding that McWilliams only got the boot because he was found dozing off while on shift. “Significantly, McWilliams never made any complaints to his employer about Kris until contriving this ludicrous claim a year later,” Singer continued.
The case, however, wasn’t settled until three years later. In October 2023, Page Six reported that McWilliams asked the court to dismiss the lawsuit “with prejudice,” thereby barring him from making the same allegations at any point in the future. Whether Jenner agreed to any form of settlement is unclear.
