A new problem arises for the Kardashian empire, especially for Kylie Jenner (28), who according to Forbes has a fortune of 670 million dollars. In less than two months, the businesswoman faces a third lawsuit from one of her former employees.
As revealed by Los Angeles Times, last Monday, Kylie's former private chef filed a lawsuit in the Superior Court of Los Angeles accusing the influencer of being forced to work 11 to 12 hours a day, five days a week, in extreme conditions, experiencing harassment and discrimination for being pregnant, being paid late and not for the appropriate hours, and being unfairly dismissed.
The former employee started working around Thanksgiving (late November) 2024 and in early December informed her supervisors that she was three months pregnant and that she "needed reasonable accommodations to protect her health and pregnancy".
Despite the suggestion, on New Year's Eve, she was ordered to "lift and carry heavy food items across the street and uphill, without assistance", according to her account. Due to this physical exertion, the former chef claims that she "felt dizzy, started choking" and had trouble breathing, needing assistance from security personnel "who provided her with water and help".
But it doesn't end there because, as the former chef recounts, at the birthday party in Palm Springs of the youngest son of the businesswoman, Aire Webster, who turned three on February 1, 2025, the demands were so unreasonable that, already five months pregnant, she asked her superiors for help that was denied.
Therefore, "due to exhaustion and overwhelming physical effort she emotionally collapsed in the bathroom during the party" and that night she experienced "extreme physical exhaustion and heaviness throughout her body as a result of prolonged and intense workload," according to the lawsuit document.
The next morning, the former employee experienced severe bleeding, and in the emergency room she was informed that "no heartbeat was detectable and that she had lost the baby," according to the lawsuit.
After informing her supervisors of what happened, their response was to accuse her "of leaving the kitchen and refrigerator in disarray after the Palm Springs event."
As reported by Los Angeles Times, which had access to the lawsuit, on February 8 she had another hemorrhage and fainted in the bathroom. "She suffered severe depression and emotional distress, and alleges that a supervisor scolded her saying 'enough, please, enough. You are upsetting Kylie. You are depressing her'."
After being dismissed, the former chef sought legal advice to file a lawsuit, the amount of damages is unknown. Tri Star, the management agency linked to the Kardashians, contacted her via email on May 22, 2025, informing that they would be willing to pay a certain sum of money to avoid going to court.
This episode adds to the cases of household employees Angélica Vázquez and Juana Delgado. The first worked from September 2024 to August 2025, when she resigned because she could no longer bear it. All of them worked at the almost 50 million dollar super mansion of Timothée Chalamet's girlfriend in Hidden Hills, a town near Calabasas and the Santa Monica Mountains.
Vázquez, who was part of the cleaning team, also filed a lawsuit last April in the Los Angeles Court where it can be read that she was regularly assigned the most difficult and unpleasant tasks; excluded from the cleaning team; publicly belittled and humiliated in front of her coworkers due to her race, national origin, and religion; subjected to intimidation and degrading treatment.
Delgado, who worked from 2019 to 2025, filed a lawsuit last May related to an abusive and discriminatory work environment based on race, with insults, contract breaches, non-payment, and retaliation.
The situation worsened when Itzel Sibrian became her supervisor in 2023 because, as Delgado reported, she called her "stupid", humiliated her for her accent, race, and immigration status, assigned her disproportionate tasks, forced her to pick up deliberately thrown trash and clean the dog's kennel, and prohibited her from drinking the house's water.
After Delgado left a letter on Kylie's massage table exposing her work drama, she was threatened with dismissal, ordered not to look directly at Kylie, and to disappear from her sight whenever she crossed paths with her.
In August 2025, she resigned from her position through a message that read "I have bitten all my nails, I don't sleep, and I have anxiety every day."
All three are represented by attorney Della Shaker, who told The Times that "being a celebrity does not exempt anyone from California labor laws. We expect to present the evidence to the court and let the facts speak for themselves."
