Kylie Jenner, the renowned beauty mogul, is currently confronting her fourth lawsuit from a former household employee within a mere seven-month period. This latest legal challenge comes from Dinora Carolina Cabria Amaya, a former housekeeper, who has lodged a series of severe allegations against Jenner, her affiliated companies, and various staff members. The claims include a dog bite incident, being inadvertently trapped in Jenner's closet for an extended period, accidental exposure to pepper spray, consistent denial of overtime compensation, and directives to remain out of sight when Jenner was present. Jenner's legal team has vehemently denied these accusations, branding them as entirely unfounded and driven by a desire for unwarranted financial gain.
The lawsuit, filed in the Los Angeles Superior Court on November 5, details allegations of disability discrimination, retaliatory actions, wrongful termination, and numerous violations of labor laws. Amaya's complaint paints a picture of a hostile work environment, where she claims to have started working for Jenner in March 2025, earning per hour in cash for a six-day workweek. She asserts that she was compelled to work excessively long hours and travel between Jenner's various properties without receiving reimbursement for mileage or travel time. The situation escalated, leading to her termination on February 6, after she reportedly questioned why another housekeeper was receiving mileage reimbursement while she was not.
Further details from the lawsuit describe a particularly distressing incident where Amaya alleges she was instructed by her supervisor to enter Jenner's closet using a passcode, only to find herself locked inside for over an hour. Her pleas for assistance were allegedly met with laughter and mocking from the supervisor, who informed her that no one could let her out and she would simply have to wait. This prolonged entrapment was eventually resolved when someone finally opened the door. In another alleged incident in September 2025, Amaya claims she suffered a workplace injury when an unsecured canister of pepper spray discharged into her face and eyes while she was cleaning a laundry room drawer, resulting in blurred vision, burning, itching, and a persistent sensation of irritation. The lawsuit also details a dog bite incident while cleaning a doghouse, after which she claims she received no meaningful assistance and had to treat the injury herself with over-the-counter medication.
Kylie Jenner's attorney, Michael Rhodes, has issued a strong rebuttal, stating that these recent cases are being brought by the same lawyer who previously filed claims on behalf of other former household staff. Rhodes suggests that the lawyer is attempting to leverage publicity to extract an undeserved payout, and has affirmed that Jenner's team will not be coerced. He emphasized their intention to vigorously defend against these meritless cases and present their side of the story. This current lawsuit follows a pattern of legal challenges for Jenner, who has recently faced similar accusations from two other former housekeepers and a private chef, all of whom are represented by the same attorney, Della Shaker. Shaker has commented on the broader implications of the case, questioning how many domestic workers fear reporting unlawful treatment due to perceived employer power, and asserting that the truth should not be obscured by wealth, fear, or silence.
