Kylie Jenner Faces Fourth Employee Lawsuit in Seven Months as Ex-Housekeeper Alleges Closet Confinement

Kylie Jenner has been sued by a fourth former household employee in seven months, after ex-housekeeper Dinora Carolina Cabria Amaya filed a complaint in Los Angeles County Superior Court on 5 November 2026. Amaya alleges she was locked inside one of Jenner’s walk-in closets for more than an hour, bitten by one of the star’s dogs and exposed to pepper spray while working at Jenner’s homes. The reality star’s lawyer has rejected the claims as meritless, and none of the allegations has been tested in court.

The filing, first reported by Page Six and PEOPLE on 10–11 November 2026, names Jenner, her companies and several members of her household staff. It accuses them of disability discrimination, retaliation, wrongful termination and multiple violations of California labour law. Amaya is seeking unpaid wages, past and future lost earnings, and compensatory and punitive damages, with no amount named in the complaint.

Four Lawsuits in Seven Months: What the Court Filings Show

Amaya’s complaint is the fourth employment-related lawsuit brought by a former member of Jenner’s household staff since April 2026. All four plaintiffs are represented by the same attorney, Della Shaker, a point Jenner’s legal team has stressed in its public response. The pattern, rather than any single claim, is what has driven the latest round of coverage.

The first case was filed on 17 April 2026 by former housekeeper Angelica Hernandez Vasquez, who alleged harassment and discrimination because of her Salvadoran background, Catholic faith and immigration status. A second former housekeeper, Juana Delgado Soto, sued on 29 April 2026, alleging discrimination, harassment and retaliation after seeking time off to attend her brother’s funeral. A former chef also sued, alleging her workload led to a miscarriage.

Attorneys for both Jenner and Vasquez took part in mediation sessions in October 2026, and a case management conference in that case was scheduled for 10 November. The parties have asked for a new deadline of 20 November to respond to an amended complaint. A hearing in Delgado Soto’s case is scheduled for 22 March 2027. Each case is being considered separately, and all four remain pending.

Inside Dinora Cabria Amaya’s Complaint: Closet, Dog Bite and Pepper Spray

Amaya says she began working for Jenner, 29, the founder of Kylie Cosmetics and a star of The Kardashians, in March 2025. According to the complaint, she was paid $40 an hour in cash and usually worked six days a week across Jenner’s properties. She says her reports of ongoing pain and requests for assistance were ignored by supervisors.

The most striking allegation concerns a walk-in closet. Amaya claims she became trapped inside one of Jenner’s closets for more than an hour and suffered a panic attack, while a supervisor laughed at her pleas for help. She also claims she was bitten by Jenner’s dog on 28 October 2025 while cleaning the animal’s doghouse, and was injured when a pepper spray canister was accidentally discharged.

Amaya says she was dismissed on 6 February 2026, shortly after questioning why another housekeeper received mileage reimbursement when she did not, and after raising concerns about her pay and treatment. The complaint frames the dismissal as retaliation for speaking up, and says she suffered lost earnings, lost employment benefits, emotional distress, humiliation and anxiety. Her lawyer told Page Six the allegations raise broader concerns about the treatment of domestic workers employed by wealthy individuals.

How Kylie Jenner’s Legal Team Has Responded

Jenner’s attorney, Michael Rhodes, has denied the allegations in the latest case and criticised the lawyer bringing them. In a statement obtained by PEOPLE, Rhodes said the latest cases were brought by the same lawyer who previously filed claims on behalf of Jenner’s former household staff. He has described the claims as meritless and said his client would not be pushed into a settlement by publicity.

The response echoes the position taken on the earlier lawsuits, which Jenner’s team has also called meritless. That framing matters because none of the four cases has yet been decided. Allegations in a civil complaint are claims made by one side, and they remain unproven until a court rules or the parties settle.

The dispute also sits inside a wider conversation about domestic work in California, where household employees are covered by state wage, overtime and anti-discrimination protections. Employment lawyers not involved in the case have noted that the outcome will turn on documents, pay records and witness accounts rather than on the publicity around the filings.

What Happens Next in the Los Angeles Court

Amaya’s case will now move through the early stages of civil litigation in Los Angeles Superior Court, with the defendants required to respond to the complaint. The Vasquez case continues separately, with the parties seeking more time to respond to an amended complaint and a case management conference already on the calendar.

For Jenner, the immediate consequence is reputational rather than legal: a fourth lawsuit in seven months keeps the treatment of her household staff in the headlines, even as her legal team insists each claim will fail. For the plaintiffs, the cases test whether a pattern of complaints from former staff can support claims of retaliation and discrimination under California law.

Neither side has indicated that a settlement is close. Unless the parties reach agreement, the cases will proceed toward hearings through 2027, with the Delgado Soto hearing set for March of that year. Until a judge rules, the allegations remain exactly that — allegations.
