Kylie Jenner is facing her fourth employee lawsuit in seven months after a former housekeeper filed new claims of workplace abuse.
Dinora Carolina Cabria Amaya, who says she worked for the reality star beginning in March 2025, filed suit in Los Angeles Superior Court on Nov. 5 alleging disability discrimination, retaliation, wrongful termination and multiple labor violations, according to court documents. She claims she earned $40 an hour in cash while typically working six days a week, but was routinely denied overtime pay and was not reimbursed for mileage or travel time between Jenner’s properties.
One of the most disturbing allegations involves an incident in which Amaya says she became trapped inside Jenner’s closet for more than an hour. She claims supervisor Laura Dooley had instructed her to enter using a passcode, then refused to help when she called in a panic.
“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,” Dooley allegedly told her. Amaya says Dooley laughed and mocked her pleas while she remained locked inside until someone eventually arrived to release her.
The former housekeeper also alleges she suffered a workplace injury in September 2025, when an unsecured canister of pepper spray discharged into her eyes and face while she was cleaning a laundry room drawer. She claims the incident left her with blurry vision, burning, itching, dryness, irritation and a constant sand-like sensation.
Things allegedly worsened the following month when Amaya says she was bitten by a dog while cleaning a doghouse at one of Jenner’s properties. According to the complaint, she reported the injury but received no meaningful assistance and had to purchase over-the-counter medication to treat herself.
Amaya further claims she was instructed to leave rooms or remain out of sight because Jenner did not want to see her. She says she was ultimately fired on Feb. 6, shortly after questioning why another housekeeper was receiving mileage reimbursement while she was not.
Her attorney, Della Shaker, addressed the broader implications in a statement.
“This case raises a larger question: how many domestic workers are afraid to report unlawful treatment because they believe their employers are too powerful to challenge?” Shaker said.
“The truth should never be buried behind wealth, fear, or silence,” she added. “No one should fear speaking the truth.”
Jenner’s legal representative, Michael Rhodes, pushed back hard against the allegations.
“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,” Rhodes said in a statement.
“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,” he continued.
Amaya’s lawsuit follows three other employee actions filed earlier this year, all represented by Shaker. On April 17, former housekeeper Angelica Hernandez Vasquez sued Jenner and her companies, alleging harassment and discrimination based on her Salvadoran background, Catholic faith and immigration status. Vasquez claimed she was mocked for her accent, humiliated by staff members, forced to perform undesirable tasks, and that a supervisor once threw hangers at her feet. That case has proceeded through mediation sessions in October, with a case management conference scheduled for November 10.
Less than two weeks after Vasquez filed, former housekeeper Juana Delgado Soto sued on April 29, accusing Jenner and her companies of discrimination, harassment and retaliation. Soto claimed she was forbidden from looking at or smiling at Jenner and was forced to hide in a bathroom or garage for hours whenever the reality star was home. She also alleged she was denied access to drinking water and a bathroom and was mistreated after her brother’s death. Attorneys in that case requested a new response deadline of Nov. 20.
Then on June 22, a former private chef identified as Jane Doe sued Jenner and several team members, alleging pregnancy discrimination and wrongful termination. The chef claimed she suffered a miscarriage after being required to work physically demanding shifts despite having a high-risk pregnancy, including long hours at a family birthday celebration in Palm Springs, California, before waking with severe bleeding and learning at the hospital she had lost her unborn child. She also accused Jenner’s team of mistreating her after the pregnancy loss and terminating her employment. Jenner’s legal team has opposed the chef’s request to remain anonymous, asking a judge to require her to reveal her identity, with a hearing on the pseudonym issue scheduled for Jan. 28, 2027.
All four women are represented by Shaker, and several lawsuits name the same companies and supervisors among defendants. The allegations in all cases have not been proven in court.
A case management conference in Amaya’s lawsuit is scheduled for January 2026 in Los Angeles.
