Kylie Jenner slapped with fourth employee lawsuit in just 7 months as ex-housekeeper makes shocking allegations
Former housekeeper Dinora Carolina Cabria Amaya has sued Kylie Jenner, her companies and staff, alleging disability discrimination, retaliation, wrongful termination and labour violations. The complaint describes alleged workplace incidents and pay disputes, adding to a series of lawsuits by former household employees and raising questions about domestic workers’ treatment.
Amaya says she worked from March 2025 for $40 an hour in cash, usually six days a week, and was denied overtime and travel expenses. She alleges a supervisor left her locked in a closet for over an hour, pepper spray injured her, and a dog bit her; she says she was fired on 6 February after questioning mileage reimbursement. Jenner’s representative denies the claims as meritless and says they will be defended vigorously; the lawsuit was filed on 5 November in Los Angeles Superior Court.
In short
- A former housekeeper has filed a lawsuit against Kylie Jenner and associates.
- She alleges unpaid overtime, workplace injuries and retaliation.
- Jenner’s representative denies the claims and says they will fight them.
Steelman: both sides, in good faith
The strongest fair case each way — we don't pick a winner.
The case for
If Amaya’s account is supported by evidence, the alleged denial of overtime and expenses, unsafe incidents and dismissal after she raised a pay concern could point to serious failures in an employer’s duty to treat a domestic worker fairly and safely. A lawsuit can provide a route to seek redress and bring scrutiny to conditions in private households, where workers may have limited visibility or bargaining power.
The case against
The allegations remain claims in a newly filed lawsuit, and Jenner’s representative denies them; a fair assessment should await evidence and the court process. The defendants may argue that the events are disputed or have been described inaccurately, and that liability should not be inferred from the filing or from other lawsuits involving former employees.
Explained simply
Kylie Jenner is a US media personality and business owner whose household staff have included cleaners and housekeepers. In the United States, domestic workers are generally covered by employment laws, including rules on pay and protection from discrimination, though the details can vary by state and job.
The latest case sits within a wider series of claims brought by former household employees against Jenner or companies linked to her. Such lawsuits can raise questions about how household staff are paid and treated, and whether workplace protections are followed in private homes.
