Kylie Jenner faces fourth former-staff lawsuit in seven months, this one from a female ex-housekeeper

A new complaint in Los Angeles

A former housekeeper filed a lawsuit against Kylie Jenner, 29, on 5 November 2026 at the Superior Court of Los Angeles, according to a complaint reviewed by NBC News. The filing also names the reality TV star's companies and two members of her staff. It alleges disability discrimination, retaliation for reporting dangerous working conditions, wrongful termination and several violations of labour law. The plaintiff started in March 2025 and worked six days a week at several of Jenner's California homes for $40 an hour, about $24 above the state minimum wage. She was fired in February 2026, according to the filing.

Incidents described in the complaint

The filing describes a supervisor who allegedly asked her to enter a closet using an access code, leaving her unable to get out for more than an hour. When she called her manager in a panic, the supervisor allegedly mocked her pleas and said no one in the house could open the door. The complaint also describes a pepper spray canister without its safety catch that discharged onto her face and eyes while she cleaned a drawer in September 2025. She further says she was bitten by a dog when she was sent to clean its kennel. Her overtime was never paid, she claims, and colleagues who helped her were allegedly pushed aside while her tasks grew heavier.

Four suits since April

This complaint is the fourth lawsuit filed by former Jenner staff in seven months. In April, a former housekeeper alleged that she was mocked over her accent and treated as inferior because of her origins, and another former housekeeper filed suit within two weeks. In the same month, a woman who had worked for the star for more than six years sought compensation for years of discrimination, humiliation and unpaid wages. In June, a former private chef, appearing under the pseudonym Jane Doe, sued on 22 June alleging pregnancy discrimination, harassment, retaliation and unjustified dismissal.

Anonymity fight and defence

At the end of October, Jenner's lawyers asked the court to order the chef to disclose her name in the case file. They argue that the pregnancy allegations do not justify anonymity, that she waited too long to request it, and that her concerns could be protected in another way. Jenner's lawyers also deny that the star ever employed the chef. Michael Rhodes, Jenner's lawyer, calls the claims baseless and accuses the plaintiffs' attorney of using publicity to extract unjustified compensation. He says the same attorney represents the plaintiffs in all three earlier cases, and that the defence will contest them firmly. Jenner has not commented publicly on the lawsuits, and none of the allegations has been proven in court, so the proceedings continue.
