10 Things Beyonce's Bodyguard Knows (That He'll Never Tell)

May 28, 2014 - 12:00 pm by Iyana Robertson TWITTER

Beyonce’s trusty bodyguard, Julius De Boer, has been by her side since 2009. Assuming a job like that can’t be easy, he wrote in a 2010 article that “you have to pay attention to everything, and stay paying attention to everything.”

Present in the now-infamous elevator footage of the singer’s latest controversy, one is only led to wonder just how much Mr. Julius has seen and heard behind (other) closed doors. Here are a few guesses.

1. What really happened in that elevator (what Solange and Jay Z’s relationship is really like).

Julius is more than likely privy to the ins and outs of the Knowles-Carter family drama that ensued on that fateful Met Gala night. Did it have anything to do with designer Rachel Roy? He’ll never tell.

2. What Jay and Bey argue about.

Lest we forget, Hov and Bey have problems too (see previous entry). We’re sure Julius knows all the juice on how these two grind each other's gears.
3. Which celebs Beyonce and Jay Z dated before each other.

3. Which celebs Beyonce and Jay Z dated before each other.

Being Beyonce’s human shield has to come with all kinds of exposure to information via ear-hustle. Though we’re sure he’ll profess to otherwise, Julius is probably aware of Bey-Z’s past relationships, by way of a couple’s chat.
4. How she really feels about Kim Kardashian.

4. How she really feels about Kim Kardashian.

One minute it seems as though Beyonce has welcomed Kim K. into the fold with open arms. And other times, shade appears to have been thrown. Her bodyguard knows what Beyonce says before and after every Kardashian encounter, though.
5. How Beyonce feels about her father’s affair and love child.

5. How Beyonce feels about her father’s affair and love child.

Julius was likely present (or not too far) when Beyonce got word of her father’s infidelity and her parents’ subsequent divorce. For all we know, Papa Knowles may have even been ordered to give Bey a little space thereafter.

Keeping Beyonce safe is now synonymous with protecting Little Miss Carter. And while Beyonce keeps footage of her baby girl under wraps, Julius witnesses it live and in person.

8. How Jay Z and Beyonce act when they’re “drunk in love.”

Beyonce’s self titled album gave us more insight into Jay and Bey’s bedroom antics since… well, ever. But we’re sure Bey swervin’ on that is nothing new to Sir Julius.

9. What Beyonce’s pregnancy was like.

Bringing Blue Ivy Carter into the world was probably one of Julius’ most covert operations. And he knows what Beyonce was craving, whether she was in pain, and all that prego jazz.
10. The release date of her next secret album.

Beyonce dropped 13 songs, 14 videos and a surprise joint tour with Jay Z on us in less than a year, all with the help of her very protective team. He surely knows what else is up her (fabulous, tailored) sleeve. RELATED: 50 of Beyonce's Favorite People, Places And Things
