Kylie Jenner Former Staff Lawsuits: A Fourth Housekeeper Sues in Seven Months, Alleging a Dog Bite, a Pepper-Spray Injury and an Hour Locked in a Closet

LOS ANGELES — Kylie Jenner is facing a fourth lawsuit from a former member of her household staff in seven months. Dinora Cabria Amaya, a housekeeper who began working for the reality star and Kylie Cosmetics founder around March 2025, filed suit on November 5 in Los Angeles County Superior Court against Jenner, her company Kylie Jenner Inc., staff supervisors and two staffing services, according to PEOPLE, which obtained the filing. The complaint — 20 pages, as reported by Realtor.com from Rolling Stone's account — claims wrongful termination, false imprisonment, disability discrimination, whistleblower retaliation, failure to prevent discrimination and retaliation, and intentional infliction of emotional distress, alongside California wage claims. Amaya is seeking unpaid wages, past and future lost earnings, and compensatory and punitive damages to be determined at trial.

The filing, as reported by PEOPLE and Page Six, lays out a year of alleged workplace injuries and disputes. Amaya says she worked six days a week at $40 an hour and, from March to May 2025, regularly worked more than eight hours a day without overtime or double time, and was not paid mileage or travel time between Jenner's properties. On September 4, 2025, she alleges, an unsecured canister of pepper spray discharged into her eyes and face while she was cleaning a laundry-room drawer, leaving her with burning, blurred vision and a sand-like sensation in her eyes that she reported to managers and treated at urgent care. She alleges she was later locked inside one of Jenner's closets for more than an hour — Page Six reports she had been sent in by a supervisor with a passcode — and had a panic attack while, she claims, management laughed and told her no one at the house could let her out. On October 28, 2025, she alleges, she was bitten by Jenner's dog while cleaning its doghouse and treated the injury herself with over-the-counter medication.

Amaya says she was fired on February 6, 2026, shortly after questioning why another housekeeper received mileage reimbursement and she did not — the firing the suit frames as retaliation for speaking up. PEOPLE notes that Amaya reported to two managers, neither of them Jenner herself, though she was employed through Jenner's company and worked at her residences. Her case follows three earlier suits this year: former housekeeper Angelica Vazquez, who alleged discrimination and a toxic work environment; a second housekeeper, Juana Delgado Soto; and a former chef who alleged her workload led to a miscarriage. Attorneys in the Vazquez and Soto cases held mediation sessions in October, Page Six reported, and further case conferences are scheduled into January.

Jenner's side rejects the claims outright. Her attorney, Michael Rhodes, said in a statement reported by PEOPLE: “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.” The attorney representing the former employees answered, in a statement also reported by PEOPLE, “We do not need publicity. We have evidence,” and said the employees' side had deliberately tried to resolve the matters privately for more than a year. A hearing on the chef's use of a pseudonym is expected January 28, 2027. For now, the fourth lawsuit is a filing, not a finding — and it is the search the whole country is making tonight, which is why it leads this cycle's trending slot.
