Kanye West fires Bodyguard Bodyguard for speaking to kim react

The bodyguard fired after Kanye West reportedly flew into a jealous rage after he 'chatted up' his wife Kim Kardashian has hit back at the rapper.

Stanulis, 42, a former Staten Island police officer and father of three, said he was sacked minutes after Kanye saw him approaching his wife at the door of their Presidential suite on the 36th floor of New York's Waldorf Astoria Hotel on Monday.
The bodyguard, who has also minded for Leonardo DiCaprio said Kanye was 'the most self-absorbed person' he had ever met.

Stanulis, who has worked for Kanye on multiple occasions, says his firing followed his decision to travel up to the 36th floor of the hotel and engage with Kardashian about their plans for Monday's Met Gala, which he believed had changed.

Steve Stanulis, in an exclusive interview with Daily Mail Online, denied he had made advances toward the TV star and declared: 'Kanye needs to chill the f*** out.'

Stanulis said:

 'They (Kanye and his wife) were getting ready for Met Gala. I was sitting downstairs in the Waldorf, and it was around 6pm.'I got some information that they were looking to rent a Lamborghini, or something of that nature.'

He said they had called their driver down to see if he could obtain the sports car.

'He tried, but he couldn't as it was last minute.'I went upstairs to see what was happening as we were supposed to be driving them.'I just wanted to make sure we were ready when they were ready. I went up to the floor to the Presidential Suite.'I was walking and the door was open and I happened to see Kim.'I thought I'd ask her or the other security or assistant if there was a change of plan.'As I was walking up to Kim and the room (within touching distance of Kardashian), Kanye walked by.

 He came from around the corner and saw me walking towards the room.

'I turned around and said "Hey Mr West… how you doing?"

He said the superstar rapper failed to return the greeting, glared at him and walked past him.

 'He went to the door and slammed it. I thought that was Ok. So I went back downstairs. I told the driver I had no idea what was going on.'

Within minutes one of Kanye's senior staff called him and told him he would not be needed any more, effectively firing him on the spot.

Asked if he had been flirting with Kim Kardashian, he said:

 'Even if I wanted to, I never got the opportunity because it happened so fast.'The way he was situated (on the hotel corridor), maybe he thought I was there longer or walking up for a different reason.'Maybe it was a misunderstanding, but I didn't have the opportunity.'I had no intention on hitting on Kim Kardashian. I am happily married. I got enough problems in the world and three young kids, so that was not my intent.
