McWilliams claimed he “became subject to a pattern of unwanted and unwelcome sexual advances and otherwise harassing misconduct” while working for the Kardashian/Jenner family, the outlet reported.
McWilliams specifically sued for alleged sexual harassment, fostering a hostile work environment, racial and gender discrimination and retaliation. (RELATED: Khloé Kardashian Seems Completely Grossed Out After Kris Jenner Won’t Stop Talking About Her Sex Life)
A lawyer representing Jenner denied the accusations in a statement to Page Six.
“Kris Jenner and Kourtney Kardashian vehemently deny the completely false claims made by former security guard Marc McWilliams,” the rep told the outlet. “His absurd allegations are clearly fabricated and are contrary to easily confirmed facts. Kris never acted inappropriately toward him.”
Lawyer Marty Singer further explained that McWilliams had been caught sleeping on the job.
“The security company stopped assigning McWilliams to work there after the guard was repeatedly caught sleeping in his car on the job,” Singer added. “Significantly, McWilliams never made any complaints to his employer about Kris until contriving this ludicrous claim a year later. Although Kourtney is named in the suit, she is not accused of doing anything improper, nor did she do so. When Kris and Kourtney defeat this frivolous lawsuit, they intend to immediately sue McWilliams and his attorneys for malicious prosecution.”
