Reality television star Kylie Jenner has been sued in Los Angeles Superior Court by a former housekeeper who alleges mistreatment and labor law violations.
Dinora Carolina Cabria Amaya filed the civil complaint against the businesswoman and several of her managers, according to a report by Page Six.
Amaya is accusing Jenner and her management team of disability discrimination, retaliation, wrongful termination, and numerous violations of labor laws. According to legal documents cited in the report, Amaya was hired in March 2025 at an hourly wage of $40.
The plaintiff stated that she worked at Jenner's home six days a week. She alleged that she was frequently forced to work overtime and was made to commute between several of the celebrity's mansions without receiving any compensation for her travel expenses.
Allegations of closet confinement and dog bite
In her filing, Amaya recounted an incident involving the entrepreneur's administrator, Laura Dooley, who allegedly locked her inside a closet. To get out, Amaya was required to state a specific password known only to Dooley.
According to Amaya, she called the administrator on the phone in a state of panic, pleading for help to be released, but Dooley merely mocked her distress. Amaya stated that she remained trapped inside the locked cupboard for more than an hour before she was finally able to exit.
The lawsuit also alleges that Jenner's dog bit Amaya while the housekeeper was carrying out cleaning duties. Despite the injury, Amaya claimed that the television star failed to provide any compensation to cover the cost of her prescribed medications.
Furthermore, the plaintiff reported that she was repeatedly instructed to leave rooms or hide out of sight whenever Jenner was at home, explaining that the celebrity did not wish to see her around the property.
Previous lawsuit by former household employee
The legal battle is not the first time Jenner has faced allegations from domestic staff. News of a previous lawsuit against the businesswoman emerged in April, when former housekeeper Angelica Vasquez brought legal claims regarding her employment at Jenner's luxury estate in Beverly Hills, California.
Vasquez was employed at the Beverly Hills residence from September 2024 through August 2025. She stated that just one week after beginning her job, she was placed under the direct supervision of a senior housekeeper named Patsy and a fellow worker named Elsie.
According to court documents in that earlier case, Vasquez claimed the two supervisors exhibited continuous hostility toward her, openly mocked her accent, and deliberately assigned her the most strenuous and unpleasant household chores. She further alleged that the women engaged in workplace bullying and publicly humiliated her because of her race, nationality, and religious beliefs.
Jenner's business empire and high-profile estates
Jenner, who first entered the public eye as a child on the long-running reality series Keeping Up with the Kardashians, has spent nearly two decades in the spotlight alongside her famous siblings. She later transitioned to the Hulu reality series The Kardashians and established herself as a prominent entrepreneur through her beauty brand, Kylie Cosmetics, building a vast business empire and acquiring several multimillion-dollar estates across Southern California.
The Los Angeles Superior Court is the unified trial court system for Los Angeles County, handling civil lawsuits, contract disputes, and employment complaints for the jurisdiction. Wealthy entertainment figures throughout Los Angeles and Beverly Hills often oversee extensive household operations with private administrative and domestic teams, which are subject to California employment and labor standards.
