Steve Harvey-Marjorie split rumours: Who is bodyguard William 'Big Boom' Freeman? Know about his past

Hollywood is in shock after rumors were rife that popular television host and comedian Steve Harvey's wife, Marjorie Elaine Harvey, has been allegedly cheating on him with his bodyguard William 'Big Boom' Freeman. Marjorie has reportedly filed for divorce from Harvey after being caught red-handed and demanded $200 million as alimony.

Strangely, just a few hours before the divorce rumors about him, Steve Harvey had shared a post on Twitter / X, asking his fans to "name a comedian you don't think is funny". Steve later claimed that the tweet was shared by his social media manager, whom he fired immediately.

Marca shared Steve Harvey’s statement, as he wrote: "Somebody that works for me on my Twitter put a statement out that was totally negative. I gotta take responsibility for it 'cause they work for me, but the engagement was talking about 'name a comedian you don't think is funny.' Why would I do something like that? That don't even make no damn sense." (sic)


Soon after, there were claims that his wife Marjorie had filed for divorce after it was outed that she was allegedly in a romantic liaison with Steve Harvey's bodyguard, William 'Big Boom' Freeman.

Who is Steve Harvey's bodyguard, William 'Big Boom' Freeman?

William 'Big Boom' Freeman, who has been the bodyguard of Steve Harvey for a long time, reportedly has a shady past. As reported by Sportskeeda, Freeman’s website IAmBigBoom profiles him as a "celebrated relationship speaker, author, and celebrity bodyguard".

It adds that he has provided for his “celebrity clients, conspicuous or inconspicuous protective services depending on the threat or potential hazards to the client. His ability to protect his client lies in the ability to immediately assess and evaluate a threat or conflict and avoid a confrontation or diffuse it before it escalates. He is implementing the same protection of his celebrity clients, to protect the 'hearts of women.'"




Apparently, it was Freeman who recommended Marjorie to Steve Harvey for marriage.

But it seems the bodyguard may have had a past of abusing women. SK reports that in 2017, there were reports in the media that William Freeman is a former pimp, who had the habit of bragging about his past and abusing women. The website reports that Freeman’s profile also mentioned that as a pimp, he “preyed on women to gain a sense of power and self”.




Moreover, Steve Harvey's ex-wife Mary Lee Harvey has stated in her latest lawsuit that the bodyguard does Steve's ‘dirty work’, even influencing his personal life.
