Kylie Jenner Sued by Fourth Household Employee in Seven Months Over Wage Abuse and Injuries

Reality star and cosmetics mogul Kylie Jenner faces a fourth civil lawsuit from household staff in just seven months after a former housekeeper filed a wide-ranging workplace abuse complaint in Los Angeles County Superior Court.

Dinora Carolina Cabria Amaya alleges Jenner, her company, and household managers Laura Dooley and Itzel Sibrian subjected her to brutal working conditions, refused overtime pay, and fired her after she demanded legally mandated vehicle reimbursements. The complaint details months of physical hazards—including an accidental face-discharge of pepper spray, a dog bite, and an episode where a supervisor allegedly mocked Amaya while she sat locked inside a master closet for more than an hour. Jenner, 29, has denied the allegations through legal counsel, setting up a sharp courtroom brawl over labor practices inside celebrity estates.

The writ marks the fourth legal challenge brought against Jenner since spring. In April, former housekeepers Angelica Hernandez Vasquez and Juana Delgado Soto lodged separate civil suits alleging discrimination, harassment, and workplace retaliation. Two months later, in June, a former private chef filed similar claims. All four cases share a common plaintiff attorney: Della Shaker of the Shaker Law Group.

Confinement, Dog Bites, and Unsecured Pepper Spray Canisters

The 11-month employment of Amaya began in March 2025 under a six-day schedule of eight-hour shifts across Jenner’s properties. Almost immediately, household demands stretched her workday far past eight hours. Yet her compensation remained frozen at a flat $40 hourly rate without overtime or double-time premiums until May 2025.

Amaya confronted human resources. Management placed her on payroll and disbursed partial back pay for meal breaks, but flatly refused vehicle expenses, travel time, and mileage—even after Amaya discovered another domestic worker received those exact perks. When she pressed managers on the mileage payments in late January, dismissal followed swiftly. Jenner's team terminated Amaya on February 6.

The financial dispute, however, pales beside the safety violations alleged in the court filings.

During one shift, manager Laura Dooley instructed Amaya to enter Jenner's closet and provided an access code. The heavy door locked behind her. Amaya remained trapped against her will for over an hour. When she reached Dooley to report that she was suffering an acute panic attack inside the locked room, Dooley allegedly laughed, mocked her distress, and refused to dispatch help, insisting no one else could access the master code.

Physical injuries mounted in the months that followed. In September 2025, an unsecured canister of pepper spray discharged directly into Amaya's face, inflicting lingering physical trauma that hindered her work duties. Weeks later, on October 28, supervisors ordered her to clean a doghouse. A dog inside attacked and bit her. When Amaya sought emergency medical attention and formal workplace accommodations, management pushed back hard. Instead of assistance, supervisors stripped away her support staff, tripled her physical workload, and scrambled her shift assignments to force her resignation.

Clashing Legal Strategies and the Private Estate Labor Dispute

The escalating docket highlights the fraught legal territory surrounding domestic labor inside multi-million-dollar celebrity compounds, where private staff frequently operate without formal workplace oversight.

Jenner’s legal team struck back immediately, framing the litigation as an orchestrated shakedown rather than a legitimate workplace dispute.

Plaintiff counsel Della Shaker dismissed the defense posture, arguing that California labor statutes apply uniformly across Beverly Hills mansions and commercial warehouses alike.

"Domestic workers do not lose their legal protections by working inside a private home or for a wealthy family," Shaker said in a public advisory, urging household employees subjected to wage underpayment and retaliatory treatment to pursue formal legal remedy.

Los Angeles County Superior Court will schedule initial status conferences and preliminary motions on the Amaya complaint in the coming weeks, as Jenner’s defense attorneys prepare formal filings seeking to dismiss all four pending household lawsuits.
