Steve Stanulis, former NYPD officer and ex-bodyguard to Kanye West says two Hollywood streaming services are racing to create documentaries on the entertainer. “Two studios approached me,” Stanulis said of the potential projects that want to begin shooting as soon as next month. “They see this as a ’48 Hours’ for real, or a ‘Lethal Weapon’ for real,” he said, adding “It comes from my mouth.”
Stanulis, who worked with West in 2016, will detail some of the star’s wild incidents, including a behind-the-scenes meltdown on the set of “Saturday Night Live.” He also alleged that West once tipsily wandered into the wrong hotel room of an Italian dignitary at the Waldorf, nearly setting off a brawl. “Every day was a new adventure,” Stanulis explained. “There are a ton of stories I haven’t told,” he told Page Six.
“I was one of his favorite guys,” Stanulis says of working for West — at first. But that changed… quickly. In 2016, Stanulis slammed West in an interview with a UK newspaper. The rapper then threatened him with a $30 million suit, claiming Stanulis had signed a confidentiality agreement. However, for years Stanulis has denied he ever did.
Last year Stanulis revealed on the “Hollywood Raw” podcast that West was the “neediest, moodiest and worst tipper” of any star he’d worked for. Ye and estranged wife Kim Kardashian then threatened to sue for $10M, calling his comments “false and defamatory” statements. Stanulis’ legal team threated to countersue the couple, replying at the time, “any efforts undertaken by your clients to enforce any purported ‘confidentiality agreement’ will be met with counterclaims, that will seek significant damages,” Page Six reports.
While sharing more details about the new proposed documentary project, Stanulis told Page Six: “It starts off with $30 million lawsuit, and works backward, with all the craziness. Why not address the elephant in the room?” referring to the threatened lawsuits, “They threatened to sue me two separate times — once back in the day, and then on a podcast this year. It went viral, and they threatened to sue me again for $10 million, and my attorney countered and it just went away.”
Stanulis who is a director and producer of films including “5th Borough” and “Chronicle of a Serial Killer” said of the West project, “They came to me. I like the fact that I’m not … the director, the producer … the whole thing is going to be 1 hour and 20 minutes in a fun, chronological order.” He told the outlet that with the film there will be, “Nothing left to be said. I’m saying it all.”
