Kylie Jenner is facing a second lawsuit from a former housekeeper who alleges she experienced serious mistreatment while working across the beauty mogul’s properties. The claims include harassment, discrimination, wage violations, and a hostile work environment. The case emerged shortly after another house employee initiated a separate lawsuit containing comparable allegations adding further scrutiny to labor practices within high-profile celebrity households.


Background of Kylie Jenner Housekeeper Lawsuit Allegations

The latest lawsuit was filed by Juana Delgado Soto against Kylie Jenner, Kylie Jenner Inc., staff supervisor Itzel Sibrian, Tri Star Services, and La Maison Family Services. Soto reports racial discrimination, harassment, retaliation, wage violations, and failure to prevent workplace abuse.

As per the court filings obtained by The Times, Soto started working for Jenner in May 2019. She claims that over time, particularly after late 2023, working conditions worsened significantly under new supervision.

Key Allegations Include:
  • Denial of meal and rest breaks
  • Retaliation after reporting workplace concerns
  • Reduced wages and increased workload
  • Emotional distress and workplace intimidation


Workplace Environment and Alleged Conflict Escalation

Soto’s complaint explains escalating strains within the household staff environment. She claims supervisors mocked her accent, immigration status, and race, and that after she filed a complaint with HR, she faced retaliation.

One of the most striking claims involves her birthday incident, where she was allegedly forced to stay late at work. She mentions:

“no one cares about your birthday, Kylie is having a dinner.”

She asserts this caused her to miss her planned surprise celebration.

Soto claims she was denied time off after her brother’s sudden death and was told to “report to work immediately.” She further alleges staff mocked her grief, with coworkers allegedly saying she was lying about her brother’s death while forcing her to perform degrading tasks. She also claims she was denied time off to attend her brother’s funeral Mass.



Direct Letter to Kylie Jenner

In April 2025, Soto reportedly wrote a personal letter to Jenner describing the alleged abuse. The lawsuit states she placed the letter on Jenner’s massage bed before a scheduled appointment.

In the letter, Soto allegedly wrote:
“I need to express just how terribly I am mentally abused” and “I really apologize for letting you know about all these situations, I know you wouldn’t allow this to happen, if you were aware of it.”

Following this, Soto claims she was threatened with termination and told she could no longer interact with Jenner. The complaint alleges she was instructed to “disappear” if she saw Jenner and was forbidden from making eye contact or smiling.


Additional Allegations of Workplace Control

The complaint also offers a brief of restrictive and punitive conditions allegedly imposed after the incident, that includes:

  • Being required to leave the premises when Jenner was present
  • Restricted restroom access
  • Being forced to clean outdoor dog areas
  • Being denied drinking water, referred to as “Kylie’s water”
Soto further alleges emotional tension and declining mental health, citing in a later message:

“I am sorry, I cannot do this anymore, every day you guys mistreat me, and I have bitten all my nails off, I cannot sleep at nights, and I always have anxiety because of the way you guys treat me. No matter what I did no one helped me.”

Legal Claims and Damages Sought

Soto is pursuing unspecified compensatory and punitive damages. Her attorney, Della Shaker, told The Times:


“My client alleges multiple employment & labor law violations by Kylie Jenner and her affiliated companies, and I commend her for the courage to come forward and seek accountability, recognizing that taking the first step is often the most difficult.”

Shaker also represents another former employee, Angelica Hernandez Vasquez, who filed a separate lawsuit against Jenner.


Second Lawsuit Reinforces Pattern of Allegations

Vasquez’s case, filed on April 17, alleges “severe and pervasive harassment” during her employment from September 2024 to August 2025. She claims discrimination based on nationality, religion, and immigration status, along with wage violations and retaliation. Her lawsuit also references unpaid work performed at boyfriend Timothée Chalamet’s residence, adding another layer of complexity to the case.


Kylie Jenner’s Response

Kylie Jenner has not yet publicly commented on the latest lawsuit. Her representatives earlier denied wrongdoing in similar cases, emphasizing professional staffing arrangements and compensation structures. Jenner is not accused of personally committing harassment in the filings, but is named as the employer responsible for workplace conditions.
