Unfortunately, not all of Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s bodyguards’ missteps have to do with trying to protect their clients. Au contraire, in 2013, reports emerged that one of the couple’s bodyguards, Norman Oosterbroek, had been fired for some seriously disturbing behavior.
Allegedly, a Vegas trip saw Oosterbroek hire an escort while on duty. A camera was involved, which could have been damning enough, but things took an even more serious turn when the Carters realized the recorded sexual acts of their bodyguard included their passports. “They really thought Norman was now a danger to Blue Ivy,” a source told Daily News. Despite his immediate dismissal, the couple managed to kill the full story, and for a while, everything was kept under wraps. As for what prompted it coming out, not long after he was fired, Oosterbroek was killed in a scuffle with police. He allegedly broke into his neighbor’s house while nude and after one of the homeowners came across him, he attacked her husband.
Other than Oosterbroek, it’s safe to say that most of the time, Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s security are over-enthusiastic, more than anything else. Then again, when you have two of the biggest names under your care, perhaps you have to be.
