Kylie Jenner hit with fourth employee lawsuit in 7 months as ex-housekeeper alleges mistreatment
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Kylie Jenner is facing another lawsuit from a former household employee, marking the fourth employee-related legal complaint involving the reality star in just 7 months.
Former housekeeper Dinora Carolina Cabria Amaya has accused Jenner, her companies and members of her staff of workplace mistreatment, discrimination and labor violations.
Her complaint also describes several incidents in which she claims she was injured or left without help while working at Jenner's properties.
Kylie Jenner's former housekeeper claims she was locked inside a closet
According to the lawsuit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on November 5, Amaya began working for Jenner in March 2025. She claimed she was paid $40 an hour but was regularly denied overtime and was not compensated for travel time or mileage between the star's properties.
One of the incidents described in the complaint involved Jenner's closet. Amaya alleged that she entered the space using a passcode but became locked inside for more than an hour.
She said she called her supervisor, Laura Dooley, for help while experiencing a panic attack. However, Dooley allegedly mocked her and told her she would have to wait because nobody else was at the house and she could not share the passcode.
“No one is at the house that can let you out, and I cannot give the password to anyone else; you just have to wait,” Amaya allegedly told her. She also claimed she was injured in two other incidents. In September 2025, an unsecured canister of pepper spray allegedly discharged into her face and eyes while she was cleaning a laundry room drawer.
She claimed the incident left her suffering from "blurry vision, burning, itching, dryness, irritation, and a constant sand-like sensation." The following month, she said she was bitten by a dog while cleaning a doghouse at one of Jenner's properties.
The former housekeeper alleged that she did not receive meaningful assistance after either incident and had to treat her injuries herself. She also claimed she was expected to continue performing physically demanding work despite reporting pain.
Amaya's attorney, Della Shaker, told Page Six, “This case raises a larger question: how many domestic workers are afraid to report unlawful treatment because they believe their employers are too powerful to challenge?”
“The truth should never be buried behind wealth, fear, or silence,” she added. “No one should fear speaking the truth.”
Kylie Jenner has faced three other employee lawsuits this year
The latest complaint follows three other lawsuits brought by former employees in 2026. In April, former housekeepers Angelica Hernandez Vasquez and Juana Delgado Soto separately accused Jenner's household staff and related companies of discrimination and labor violations.
In June, a former private chef, who filed her case under the name Jane Doe, also sued Jenner and members of her team. She alleged pregnancy discrimination and wrongful termination, claiming she was made to work demanding shifts despite having a high-risk pregnancy, according to Page Six.
All four former employees are represented by Shaker. Jenner's legal team has disputed the claims, and the cases remain legal allegations that have yet to be established in court.
Jenner’s legal representative, Michael Rhodes, told Page Six in a statement, “These latest cases are being brought by the same lawyer who previously filed claims on behalf of Kylie’s former household staff."
"It’s clear that this lawyer wants to use publicity to try and extract an unwarranted payday." “We’re not going to be intimidated into doing that. As such, we’ll defend these meritless cases vigorously and look forward to telling our side of the story,” Rhodes said.
