Kylie Jenner is facing her fourth lawsuit from a former household employee in seven months, following a November 5 filing by housekeeper Dinora Carolina Cabria Amaya.
The Los Angeles County Superior Court complaint alleges disability discrimination, wrongful termination, and labor violations, increasing the legal challenges surrounding Jenner’s private staffing.
The Bottom Line
- Dinora Carolina Cabria Amaya alleges she suffered workplace injuries, including a dog bite and a pepper spray incident, while being denied proper overtime pay.
- Attorney Della Shaker, who represents the four former employees suing Jenner, asserts that domestic workers are entitled to legal protections.
- Jenner’s legal counsel, Michael Rhodes, has dismissed the claims as meritless, characterizing the litigation as a coordinated effort to secure an unwarranted payout through public scrutiny.
Allegations of Workplace Misconduct
The lawsuit filed by Dinora Carolina Cabria Amaya details a series of distressing encounters beginning in March 2025. Amaya claims that during her tenure at Jenner’s various properties, she was subjected to physically demanding tasks despite reporting recurring injuries. Among the most striking claims is an incident in September 2025 involving an unsecured canister of pepper spray that allegedly caused lasting physical impairments.
Amaya further states that she was once trapped inside a closet for more than an hour. According to the complaint, when she informed her manager, Laura Dooley, that she was experiencing a panic attack, Dooley allegedly responded by laughing and mocking her, stating that no one was available to provide the password to open the door.
Later, on October 28, 2025, Amaya claims she was bitten by one of Jenner’s dogs while cleaning a doghouse and received no meaningful assistance from her supervisors.
Shaker Law Group Represents Plaintiffs in Intensifying Legal Battle
This latest action, which Page Six reports is the fourth such filing this year, highlights an intensifying battle between high-profile employers and household staff representation. All four plaintiffs are represented by Della Shaker of the Shaker Law Group.
“To every housekeeper, nanny, caregiver, driver, chef, and domestic worker who has been afraid to speak up: your work matters, your dignity matters, and your rights matter,” Shaker, of the Shaker Law Group, said in a statement regarding the filing.
Jenner’s attorney, Michael Rhodes, maintains that the litigation is part of a broader, orchestrated strategy. “These latest cases are being brought by the same lawyer who previously filed claims on behalf of Kylie’s former household staff,” Rhodes told TMZ. “It’s clear that this lawyer wants to use publicity to try and extract an unwarranted payday. We’re not going to be intimidated into doing that.”
| Plaintiff | Primary Allegations | Filing Date |
|---|---|---|
| Angelica Hernandez Vasquez | Hostile work environment, discrimination | April 2026 |
| Juana Delgado Soto | Wrongful termination, harassment | April 2026 |
| Unnamed Private Chef | Labor violations, retaliation | June 2026 |
| Dinora Carolina Cabria Amaya | Disability discrimination, wrongful termination | November 5, 2026 |
Court Schedules Mediation and Future Hearings Through 2027
The legal process is already moving through the court system, with various stages of mediation and case management scheduled. While the case involving Amaya is ongoing, other matters involving Jenner’s staff have hearings scheduled for 2027. According to Cinemablend, a case management conference for previous filings was held on November 10, with further hearings set for early next year.
The litigation comes as Jenner continues her public-facing work, including appearances on The Kardashians. As the court prepares for a March 22, 2027, hearing in one of the earlier cases, the defense has indicated they plan to tell their side of the story in court rather than in the media. For now, the allegations remain claims that have not been proven in a court of law.
