Kylie Jenner Sued by Former Housekeeper in Fourth Employee Lawsuit in Seven Months
Reality star and beauty entrepreneur Kylie Jenner is facing a fourth workplace lawsuit from a former household employee in seven months, after a former housekeeper alleged she was locked inside a walk-in closet for more than an hour, bitten by one of Jenner’s dogs and fired after raising concerns about her pay.
Dinora Carolina Cabria Amaya filed the complaint on November 5 in Los Angeles Superior Court, according to court documents obtained by Page Six. The allegations have not been proven in court, and Jenner’s lawyer has strongly denied them.
What the New Lawsuit Alleges
Amaya says she began working as a housekeeper for Jenner in March 2025, earning $40 an hour in cash and usually working six days a week at Jenner’s Los Angeles properties.
According to the complaint, Amaya was bitten by one of Jenner’s dogs and injured by an unsecured pepper-spray canister while on the job. She further alleges that a supervisor instructed her to enter Jenner’s walk-in closet using a passcode, and that she remained trapped inside for more than an hour, suffering a panic attack while her supervisor mocked her pleas for help.
Amaya also alleges she was not properly paid for overtime or for travel between Jenner’s properties. She says she was fired on February 6, 2026, shortly after asking why another housekeeper had received mileage reimbursement when she had not.
The lawsuit names Jenner, her companies and several members of her household staff as defendants. It seeks unpaid wages, lost earnings and compensatory and punitive damages. The claims include wrongful termination, false imprisonment, disability discrimination, failure to provide reasonable accommodations, whistleblower retaliation and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
Three Earlier Lawsuits This Year
The latest complaint is the fourth employment-related lawsuit brought by a former member of Jenner’s household staff since April.
On April 17, former housekeeper Angelica Hernandez Vasquez sued Jenner and her companies, alleging harassment and discrimination based on her Salvadoran background, Catholic faith and immigration status.
On April 29, another former housekeeper, Juana Delgado Soto, filed a separate lawsuit alleging racial discrimination, harassment, retaliation and wage violations. Delgado Soto said she faced mistreatment after seeking time off to attend her brother’s funeral.
The third lawsuit was filed on June 22 by a former private chef identified in court documents as Jane Doe, who alleged pregnancy discrimination and wrongful termination.
All four women are represented by the same attorney, Della Shaker. Several of the complaints name the same companies and staff members among the defendants.
Jenner’s Lawyer Denies the Claims
Jenner’s attorney, Michael Rhodes, has rejected the allegations in the latest lawsuit, describing the cases as meritless. He accused Shaker of seeking publicity and an unwarranted payout, and said his client would not be pushed into a settlement by publicity.
Rhodes has pushed back against the wider series of employee claims in similar terms, maintaining that the allegations are without merit. None of the claims in any of the four lawsuits has been tested in court.
Why This Matters
Four lawsuits from former household staff in seven months is an unusual pattern for any employer, let alone one of the most prominent celebrity business figures in the world. The cases raise broader questions about how domestic workers are treated by wealthy employers — a point Shaker herself has raised in comments to the press.

For Jenner, the founder of Kylie Cosmetics and one of the most followed people on social media, the lawsuits add a legal headache to a business empire built on her personal brand.
