Mason Haynes, a veteran celebrity bodyguard who worked around the Kardashians, Lewis Hamilton and other major entertainment figures, has died at 52.<\/p>\n

Haynes died following a motorcycle crash, according to a new Daily Mail<\/a> report. The outlet did not link to a police statement naming Haynes or providing the full official circumstances of the collision.<\/p>\n

Haynes later used his security experience to establish Bodyguards Against Bullying, an international personal-safety initiative created to oppose bullying, abuse, harassment and persecution.<\/p>\n

Haynes Spent More Than Two Decades in Celebrity Security<\/h2>\n

Haynes said he entered the industry through pub and club security before moving into personal protection. A Silver Swan Recruitment interview<\/a> described him as a 22-year security veteran whose work had taken him to 115 countries, including 22 across Africa.<\/p>\n

A later podcast appearance identified the Kardashians, Kanye West, Kevin Hart, Charlie Puth and Formula One champion Lewis Hamilton among the high-profile people Haynes had protected during his career.<\/p>\n

His connection to the Kardashian family was publicly reported years earlier. In 2016, The Sun<\/a> reported that producers of The Only Way Is Essex<\/em> had hired Kim Kardashian’s former bodyguard to increase security around cast members following several violent incidents.<\/p>\n

Haynes also discussed the less visible parts of celebrity protection, including travel, advance planning, crowd management and the need for bodyguards to blend into a client’s environment rather than attract additional attention.<\/p>\n

He Created Bodyguards Against Bullying<\/h2>\n

Haynes founded Bodyguards Against Bullying as a global personal-safety and anti-bullying organization.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Celebrity bodyguard Adriano “Bubba” Almony, who served as the initiative’s U.S. chairman, repeatedly credited Haynes with creating the organization. A 2020 Los Angeles Tribune<\/a> profile described its members as security professionals united around protecting people who were being intimidated or targeted.<\/p>\n

The campaign attracted ambassadors from outside the traditional security industry and used social media to circulate personal-safety information, anti-bullying messages and support for victims.<\/p>\n

Motorcycles Were Another Major Part of His Life<\/h2>\n

Outside personal security, Haynes was involved in custom motorcycle design and manufacturing. He was identified as a founding partner and managing director of Public Enemy Customs, a company established in 2016 to build highly modified motorcycles.<\/p>\n

Photographs and company material showed Haynes working around custom Harley-Davidson projects and other one-off builds.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Hampshire Police separately appealed for witnesses after a fatal four-vehicle collision on the A287 Farnham Road near Crondall on Saturday, July 4. Police said the crash involved two Harley-Davidson motorcycles, a BMW X3 and an LDV Maxus motorhome, and that one motorcyclist, a man in his 50s from Thames Ditton, Surrey, died at the scene.<\/p>\n

Haynes’ extended interviews about celebrity security remain available through Silver Swan Recruitment and the Hustle Like U Broke<\/em> podcast, where he discussed the international career that began in local venue security.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
