I don’t believe the MI5 story. Wrong arm of security agency. Even in the UK, MI5 don’t protect the royal family. I see Rachel’s hands all over this nonsense.

I don’t know if it was truly MI5, but I have no doubt the security was British. Like AHPF said, “As if a television actor would be impressed by American bodyguards. NBC has tons of them.” Wendell has been working in Hollywood for more than 20 years. He was in Waiting to Exhale with Whitney Houston. And that was back when Whitney was a superstar and hadn’t hit the decline that you saw in the 2000s. Wendell has been around long enough to figure out the difference between bodyguard employments. I have no doubt the security was British and not paid by NBC.
