Pepper Spray, a Dog Bite and Humiliation: New Allegations Against Kylie Jenner

Kylie Jenner is facing yet another legal dispute involving former employees. In just seven months, four lawsuits have been filed against the American reality star and founder of Kylie Cosmetics. This time, a former housekeeper has accused her employers of humiliation, labor law violations and creating unsafe working conditions. Among the most disturbing allegations are being locked inside Jenner’s walk-in closet for over an hour, being bitten by a dog and suffering eye injuries after a pepper spray canister accidentally discharged.

The plaintiff, Dinora Carolina Cabría Amaya, filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles County Superior Court on November 5. The defendants include Jenner, several companies associated with her and a number of employees. The former housekeeper accuses them of disability discrimination, retaliation for raising workplace complaints, wrongful termination and multiple labor law violations.

According to Amaya, she began working for Jenner in March 2025 and was paid $40 an hour in cash. She typically worked six days a week. However, the lawsuit alleges that she was regularly denied overtime pay, required to work lengthy shifts and made to travel between several of Jenner’s properties without compensation for travel expenses or time spent commuting.

One particularly alarming incident allegedly occurred when Amaya was instructed to enter Jenner’s walk-in closet using a special access code. The door closed behind her, leaving her trapped inside for more than an hour.

Amaya claims she panicked and called her direct supervisor, Laura Dooley, asking for help. However, according to the lawsuit, Dooley not only failed to assist her but also laughed at the situation.

“There is nobody in the house who can let you out, and I can’t give the code to anyone else. You’re just going to have to wait,” the supervisor allegedly told her.

The woman remained locked inside until someone eventually arrived and opened the door.

Another incident allegedly took place in September 2025. Amaya claims that while cleaning a drawer in the laundry room, a pepper spray canister that had been left without its safety lock accidentally discharged. Its contents sprayed directly into her face and eyes.

The former employee says she subsequently suffered from blurred vision, burning, itching, dryness and persistent irritation. She described the sensation as feeling as though she had sand in her eyes. Despite reporting her symptoms, she claims she was not provided with adequate medical care or the necessary conditions to recover.

Another unpleasant incident allegedly occurred in October of the same year. Amaya claims she was bitten by a dog while cleaning its kennel at one of Jenner’s properties. She reported the incident to management but, according to the lawsuit, received no meaningful assistance. She was forced to purchase over-the-counter medication and treat the injury herself.

The former housekeeper also claims she was repeatedly made to feel that Jenner did not want to see her. At times, she says, she was instructed to leave certain areas or stay out of the reality star’s sight.

Amaya was eventually fired on February 6, 2026. She believes the decision was retaliation for questioning what she considered unfair treatment over travel expenses. According to the lawsuit, she had asked why another housekeeper was reimbursed for traveling between properties while she was denied similar compensation.

The plaintiff’s attorney, Della Shaker, told Page Six that the case highlights broader concerns about the treatment of domestic workers employed by wealthy and influential individuals.

“How many domestic workers are afraid to speak up about unlawful treatment because they believe their employers are too powerful to challenge?” the lawyer asked.

“Truth should never be hidden behind wealth, fear or silence. No one should be afraid to speak the truth,” she added.

A representative for Kylie Jenner, attorney Michael Rhodes, rejected the allegations, noting that all the recent lawsuits have been filed by the same lawyer representing the star’s former employees.

“It is obvious that this attorney is trying to use publicity to obtain an unwarranted financial payout. We will not be intimidated. We will vigorously defend against these baseless lawsuits and look forward to presenting our side of the story,” Rhodes said.

Four Lawsuits in Seven Months

The latest case marks the fourth lawsuit brought by former members of Kylie Jenner’s household staff in 2026. Notably, all four women are represented by the same attorney, Della Shaker.

The first lawsuit was filed on April 17 by former housekeeper Angelica Hernandez Vasquez. She accused her employers of discrimination and harassment based on her Salvadoran heritage, Catholic faith and immigration status.

According to her claims, colleagues mocked her accent, humiliated her and assigned her the most unpleasant tasks. She also alleged that her complaints were ignored and that, on one occasion, a supervisor threw hangers at her feet.

Less than two weeks later, on April 29, another former housekeeper, Juana Delgado Soto, filed a lawsuit against Jenner.

She claimed she was forbidden from looking at Kylie or even smiling at her. Whenever the reality star was at home, Soto allegedly had to spend hours hiding in the bathroom or garage.

She also claimed that her access to drinking water and restroom facilities was restricted and that she was not given adequate time to grieve after her brother's death. According to the former employee, management demanded that she return to work immediately despite her family tragedy.

The third lawsuit was filed on June 22 by Jenner’s former personal chef, identified in court documents as Jane Doe. She accused her employers of pregnancy discrimination and wrongful termination.

The chef alleges that despite having a high-risk pregnancy, she was required to perform physically demanding tasks and work long hours. She specifically claimed that she had to work at a family member’s birthday celebration in Palm Springs. The following morning, she experienced severe bleeding and was told at the hospital that she had lost her baby.

The chef also accused Jenner’s team of treating her inappropriately after the incident and claimed that she ultimately lost her job.

All four lawsuits are ongoing.
