Kylie Jenner sued by another former employee, fourth lawsuit in 7 months - USA Today

Kylie Jenner has been sued by another former housekeeper alleging multiple workplace violations, disability discrimination, retaliation and wrongful termination.

Dinora Carolina Cabria Amaya filed the lawsuit against Jenner, 29, her company and staff members Laura Dooley and Itzel Sibrian in Los Angeles County Superior Court Thursday, Nov. 5, according to documents obtained by USA TODAY.

Amaya alleged that during her time as a housekeeper for Jenner's various properties from March 2025 until February, she did not receive proper pay, endured injuries due to the job – for which she was discriminated against – and then got fired for raising her concerns.

Jenner’s attorney, Michael Rhodes, told USA TODAY in a Thursday, Nov. 12 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."

This is the fourth lawsuit Jenner is facing from former employees, all of whom are represented by Della Shaker of Shaker Law Group.

Shaker addressed Amaya's new filing in a statement to USA TODAY: "To every housekeeper, nanny, caregiver, driver, chef, and domestic worker who has been afraid to speak up: your work matters, your dignity matters, and your rights matter."

She continued, "You do not lose your legal protections because you work inside a private residence or for a wealthy family. If you have experienced unpaid wages, discrimination, retaliation, or mistreatment, we encourage you to seek confidential legal advice. You deserve to be heard."

In her filing, Amaya said she began her position in March 2025 on a six-day-per-week schedule of eight-hour shifts, reporting to managers Dooley and Sibrian. Almost immediately, she alleged she was “working more than eight hours per day due to Defendants demands" while still being "paid the same $40.00 hourly rate without overtime or double time" until May 2025.

She allegedly disclosed her complaints during a meeting with someone from human resources but alleged that "nothing was done to remedy the situation—however, [Amaya] was then added to payroll—provided with some overtime and meal break violation pay."

In September, Amaya alleged that an "unsecured canister of pepper spray" was discharged into her face, which caused "ongoing physical impairments affecting her ability to perform certain job duties." However, the complaint alleges that the more she “complained that she was hurt, the harder Defendants made her job,” including removing the other housekeeper who was helping her, requiring her to work alone, and assigning her heavier and more physically demanding tasks.

On another unspecified occasion, Amaya alleged she got locked inside Jenner’s closet and was “confined against her will" for more than an hour. When she told Dooley she "was trapped and having a panic attack," Dooley allegedly "laughed and mocked her stating, '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.'"

On Oct. 28, 2025, Amaya was assigned to clean a doghouse, where one of Jenner's dogs allegedly bit her. When she reported the injury to Dooley, "no meaningful assistance was provided," the filing alleged.

"By this point, Defendants knew [Amaya] had suffered multiple workplace injuries, sought medical treatment, continued experiencing physical symptoms, and repeatedly asked for help and reported numerous violations," according to the filing. "Instead of helping her, Defendants removed assistance, increased her workload, assigned heavier tasks, and abruptly changed her schedule and work locations. Defendants were making her life miserable so she would quit."

Additional incidents include failure to pay for mileage, vehicle expenses or travel time, despite Amaya allegedly learning from another housekeeper that they were being compensated. Amaya said she requested mileage in late January, and on Feb. 6, less than two weeks later, she was fired.

"As a direct and proximate result of Defendants' conduct, [Amaya] suffered lost earnings, lost employment benefits, emotional distress, humiliation, anxiety, and other damages according to proof," the lawsuit said.

This case is the latest of many against Jenner this year. In April, former housekeeper Angelica Hernandez Vasquez filed a complaint alleging "a hostile work environment" in which she claims to have experienced "discrimination, harassment, and retaliation … based on her race, national origin, religion, and disability."

That same month, Juana Delgado Soto, also a previous housekeeper for "The Kardashians" star, sued for wrongful termination, discrimination, harassment, retaliation, failure to pay wages and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

In June, a private chef who once worked for Jenner went to court with more than two dozen claims, including discrimination, harassment, emotional distress, wrongful termination, retaliation and failure to pay proper wages.
