Kylie Jenner already had plenty of legal headaches, but they just got a little worse. A former housekeeper named Dinora Carolina Cabria Amaya filed a lawsuit against the beauty mogul in Los Angeles County Superior Court on November 5, and her accusations against Kylie Jenner, her company, and several staffers are serious. It’s the fourth suit brought against Kylie by a former household employee in just seven months.

What the New Lawsuit Claims

According to the complaint, Amaya began working at Kylie’s properties in March 2025 and was paid $40 an hour in cash. She says she typically worked six days a week but never received overtime, and she wasn’t reimbursed for mileage or paid for the time she spent traveling between Kylie’s homes.

The suit also describes a series of workplace injuries that Amaya says were brushed aside. In September, she claims, an unsecured pepper spray canister went off in her face while she was cleaning a laundry room drawer, leaving her with blurred vision and lingering pain in her eyes. In October, according to the complaint as reported by Rolling Stone, she was bitten by a dog while cleaning a doghouse at one of the properties. After reporting it, she says no one in the home offered to help. Amaya alleges she ended up buying over-the-counter medication to treat the injury.

The trouble didn’t stop there. Amaya claims supervisor Laura Dooley had her enter Kylie’s closet using a passcode, and she ended up trapped inside for more than an hour. When she called for help in a panic, Amaya alleges, Dooley laughed at her and said no one at the house could let her out. Amaya claims the mistreatment got worse the more she reported problems.

Amaya also says she was told to leave rooms or stay out of sight because Kylie didn’t want to see her. She claims she was fired on February 6, 2026, shortly after asking why another housekeeper was being reimbursed for mileage when she wasn’t.

Kylie’s Other Employee Lawsuits

Amaya’s case is the newest lawsuit filed against Kylie by a former employee, but it’s not the first. Three others have been filed since April, all by the same attorney, Della Shaker.

Angelica Hernandez Vasquez, another former housekeeper, was the first to file in April. In her lawsuit, she claims she was discriminated against because of her Catholic faith, her Salvadoran background, and her immigration status. She also alleges labor violations.

That same month, former housekeeper Juana Delgado Soto filed her own lawsuit. Soto claims Kylie and her companies discriminated against her, harassed her, and retaliated against her, and she also alleges labor violations. Her complaints echo those of Vasquez and Amaya.

In June, a former private chef filed suit under the name Jane Doe. The chef claims Kylie fired her after she suffered a miscarriage during a high-risk pregnancy, and she alleges pregnancy discrimination and wrongful termination. Kylie’s legal team is challenging the chef’s request to remain anonymous, and a hearing on that issue is set for January 28, 2027.

While Kylie is staying mostly quiet about the legal trouble, her attorney isn’t. Michael Rhodes has dismissed the latest suit as lacking merit. He noted that all of the cases come from the same lawyer, accused the plaintiffs of chasing publicity and a payday, and said Kylie will vigorously defend herself and present her side.

Kylie’s string of lawsuits is nothing new for the Kardashian-Jenner family. In 2021, Kim Kardashian was sued by seven former gardening and maintenance workers over unpaid wages and missed breaks. She settled that case in 2023. Khloé Kardashian was sued in 2023 by a former household assistant who claimed she fired him after he took leave for a knee injury. Kris Jenner and Kourtney Kardashian were both named in a 2020 lawsuit from a former security guard. The case was dropped in 2023. While the details differ, most of the lawsuits accuse the family of unfair working conditions, labor violations, or mistreatment of staff.
