PHOTOS: KANYE WENT BALLISTIC AFTER CATCHES KIM KARDASHIAN-WEST WITH THEIR SECURITY GUARD

Kanye and his wife Kim Kardashian-West were awarded best dress couple at the Metgala ball on Monday.

Everyday leading up to the ball wasn’t so great. A source close to the Wests claims Kanye and Kim hit the red carpet late because Kanye caught Kim with one of their security guards and went completely off.

Kanye West fired a member of his security team minutes before heading to the Met Gala, according to Confidential sources, who blame the alleged canning on a fit of jealousy.

  

Something happened at the Waldorf Astoria where Kanye just lost it,” said a source who was on the 36th floor of the hotel Monday afternoon when West allegedly got upset.

His rage was aimed at Steve Stanulis — a bodyguard well-known to entertainment industry insiders, thanks to a gig that’s seen him looking after stars including Leonardo DiCaprio and Alanis Morissette.

According to a second source, an assistant from Kim Kardashian and West’s camp called down to the pair’s security detail, asking that one of them bring up a package that was slated to arrive from a local store around 1:30 p.m. When Stanulis volunteered for the task, West, who was in an adjacent room in the same hallway, was heard asking loudly why the muscle for hire was chatting with his wife outside her door and saying, “This isn’t right!”

When West and Kardashian arrived at the Met Gala — each looking like a million bucks — Stanulis was nowhere to be found. We’re told that he’d been cut loose at West’s request shortly after 6 p.m. while waiting along with the rest of the Kardashian-West entourage to drive the stars to Anna Wintour’s big bash at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

We’re also told that West had a brief run-in with Stanulis at a fashion studio on Wooster St. during Fashion Week in February when he noticed the chiseled bodyguard chatting with Kardashian.

For those who know Stanulis, he’s a hard figure to miss. The former NYPD officer once worked as a Chippendales dancer and has appeared on film and TV projects including “The Sopranos” and “I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry,” according to Imdb.com.
