Kardashians’ Bodyguard Mason Haynes Dead at 52

After graduating from college, Haynes made the decision to work in security full-time and started working in “close protection” for celebrities, including Kim Kardashian, Kendall Jenner, Kanye West and more of their family members. 

“Initially, I worked with the Kardashian family, namely Kim, Kris, Kendall and Kanye too,” he recalled to London Now in 2018. “Additionally, I was one of Kevin Hart’s bodyguards. Currently I’m Charlie Puth’s personal protection, as well as Lewis Hamilton’s, and recently went to Dubai with him and Nicki Minaj.”

In fact, Haynes was working security for the Kardashian family during one of their most traumatic moments: Kim’s 2016 Paris robbery.

“Most prominently you’d have to talk about the Paris robbery on Kim Kardashian,” he replied when asked if a job ever left him injured, “although I can’t go into much detail about that, I was part of that team, and that incident was simply a set of unfortunate circumstances which led to something bad happening.”
