Reality television star and cosmetics entrepreneur Kylie Jenner faces a fourth lawsuit filed by a former household employee in a span of seven months, according to court documents recently obtained from the Los Angeles Superior Court. The legal complaint was submitted by former housekeeper Dinora Carolina Cabria Amaya, who accused Jenner, her corporate business entities, and several staff members of disability discrimination, retaliation, wrongful termination, and numerous labor code violations. Amaya alleged that she earned $40 an hour in cash while working demanding six-day weeks starting in March 2025, but claimed she was routinely denied overtime compensation and necessary financial mileage reimbursement when traveling between private residential properties across the region.
Kylie Jenner Sued for Disability Discrimination
The lawsuit details several distressing incidents during her employment, including an event where Amaya claimed she was instructed to enter Jenner’s large walk-in closet using a digital passcode and subsequently became locked inside for over an hour. According to the court filing, a supervisor allegedly laughed and mocked her repeated pleas for help rather than providing immediate assistance to release her from the enclosed space. Additional allegations include a workplace injury in September 2025 involving an unsecured canister of pepper spray that discharged directly into her eyes, followed by a painful dog bite sustained the subsequent month while cleaning a property’s outdoor doghouse. Amaya stated she received no meaningful medical assistance after the animal bite and was ultimately terminated on February 6 after questioning salary discrepancies regarding mileage pay.
Legal representatives for both sides have offered sharply contrasting perspectives on the mounting litigation. Attorney Della Shaker, representing the former housekeeper, stated that the ongoing legal challenges raise broader questions regarding how domestic workers employed by wealthy individuals navigate fear and potential workplace retaliation. Conversely, Jenner’s legal representative, Michael Rhodes, issued a public statement characterizing the recurring legal actions as meritless attempts driven by publicity to extract unwarranted financial settlements, emphasizing that the defense intends to contest the claims vigorously in court. Previous lawsuits filed earlier this year by other former staff members similarly alleged workplace harassment, discrimination, and demanding working conditions behind closed doors.
Whether these consolidated legal proceedings will prompt wider industry discussions regarding domestic employee protections remains an open question as the judicial process moves forward across California courts. As the parties navigate upcoming court dates and formal mediation sessions, public scrutiny surrounding celebrity household management practices continues to intensify among media analysts and everyday observers alike.
