Kylie Jenner faces a third lawsuit from a former employee in 2026, with her ex-personal boss alleging that grueling working conditions during her high-risk pregnancy led to a miscarriage.
Court documents filed Monday in Los Angeles Superior County reveal that the chef, whose name has not been made public, claims she worked 11- to 12-hour shifts five days a week and was given physically demanding tasks despite informing her supervisors of her pregnancy.
She began working for Jenner, 28, in November 2024 and revealed her pregnancy the following month, at which point she was three months along and requested reasonable accommodations.
The situation allegedly came to a head on New Year’s Eve 2024, when she claims she was instructed to lift and carry heavy food items across a street and uphill without any assistance.
She became dizzy and began choking and gasping for air, causing security personnel to intervene with water and assistance.
A second incident reportedly occurred around Feb. 1 at a children’s birthday party in Palm Springs, where the chef says she received insufficient support and her requests for help were ignored by officials.
“Due to exhaustion and overwhelming physical exertion, [she] broke down emotionally in the bathroom during the event,” the documents state.
That evening she felt severe physical exhaustion and the next morning she began bleeding profusely. She went to the hospital, where she was told there was no detectable heartbeat and that she had lost her baby.
Days after telling her superiors about the miscarriage, she claims she was falsely accused of leaving the kitchen and refrigerator a mess after the Palm Springs event.
When she later suffered more severe bleeding and developed severe depression, she claims a supervisor told her: “Stop it, stop it. You’re upsetting Kylie. You’re making her depressed.”
The chief seeks unspecified damages and alleges pregnancy discrimination, harassment, misclassification as an independent contractor, failure to pay appropriate wages and wrongful termination.
Representatives for Jenner and the chef did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
This is the third employment lawsuit Jenner has faced this year.
In April, former housekeeper Angelica Vasquez sued her for wrongful termination, claiming she was discriminated against based on her Salvadoran heritage and Catholic faith and developed symptoms consistent with post-traumatic stress disorder due to the work environment.
Later that same month, another former housekeeper, Juana Delgado Soto, filed a similar complaint, alleging mistreatment by other staff members and claiming that when she asked Jenner directly for help, she was threatened with termination and told to never contact her again.
