The bodyguard is haunted by the fact that he was on Reagan's secret service staff but wasn't there to prevent the attack by Hinckley. Eventually the bodyguard and the singer start an affair, and she begins to believe his precautions are necessary when the stalker strikes close to home. Whoever wants to can see that. So were the inner workings of the celebrity machine.

Entourages may have figured into gossip rags, but much was obscured from public view. Her manager, publicist, sister-turned-personal assistant, and driver figure prominently in her day-to-day, each portrayed as having a controlling stake in her life and career. That she is constantly surveilled, by known and unknown entities, is part of the terror she must live with, and which Frank wishes to shield her from. Park yourself in the Twitter mentions or Instagram DMs of any woman with a sliver of visibility and you are bound to encounter the kind of gendered menaces and anonymous threats that necessitated for Rachel the protection of a bodyguard.
