A former housekeeper has filed a lawsuit against Kylie Jenner, the fourth case brought by a member of her household staff since April.
Dinora Carolina Cabria Amaya filed the complaint in Los Angeles Superior Court on Thursday, Nov. 5, according to IBTimes UK. It names Jenner, her company Kylie Jenner Inc., two supervisors and two other companies. Amaya alleges disability discrimination, retaliation, wrongful termination, false imprisonment and labor violations. None of the claims have been tested in court.
Jenner's attorney, Michael Rhodes, rejects all of it. In a statement reported by TMZ, he said the cases come from the same lawyer who filed the earlier claims and accused that lawyer of wanting "to use publicity to try and extract an unwarranted payday." "We're not going to be intimidated into doing that," he said. His team, he added, will "defend these meritless cases vigorously."
What the new complaint alleges
According to the complaint, Amaya started working for Jenner in March 2025. She says she was paid $40 an hour in cash and usually worked six days a week. She alleges she never received overtime, and that she was not paid for mileage or for time spent driving between Jenner's properties.
The filing describes three incidents.
In one, Amaya says a supervisor told her to use a passcode to enter a closet, and she ended up locked inside for more than an hour. She says she had a panic attack. She alleges that when she called the supervisor, she was told no one could let her out and "you just have to wait," and that the supervisor mocked her.
In September 2025, she says, a pepper spray canister that had been left unsecured in a laundry room drawer went off in her face while she was cleaning. She alleges lasting eye problems, including burning, itching and what the complaint calls a "sand-like sensation."
In October 2025, she alleges, a dog bit her while she was cleaning a doghouse at one of the properties. She says she got no meaningful help and bought over-the-counter medicine herself.
Amaya also claims she was sometimes told to leave a room or stay out of Jenner's sight because Jenner did not want to see her.
She says she was fired on Feb. 6, 2026, shortly after asking why another housekeeper was being reimbursed for mileage and she was not.
Both sides
Amaya's attorney, Della Shaker, said "no one should fear speaking the truth" and that "the truth should never be buried behind wealth, fear, or silence," according to The Blast.
Shaker represents all four former employees who have sued this year. That is the point Jenner's side keeps returning to. Rhodes says the filings come from one lawyer who wants publicity.
The four cases so far
| Filed | Former role | What the complaint alleges | Where it stands |
|---|---|---|---|
| April 17, 2026 | Housekeeper | Discrimination, plus wage and labor violations | No ruling or settlement reported |
| Late April 2026 | Housekeeper | Racial discrimination, harassment, retaliation and wage violations | No ruling or settlement reported; Rolling Stone reports a hearing on March 22, 2027 |
| June 22, 2026 | Private chef (filed as Jane Doe) | Wrongful termination and other claims | Jenner's team is challenging her request to stay anonymous, with a hearing set for Jan. 28, 2027, according to IBTimes UK |
| Nov. 5, 2026 | Housekeeper (Amaya) | Disability discrimination, retaliation, wrongful termination, false imprisonment, labor violations | Just filed; no court ruling reported |
All four plaintiffs are represented by the same attorney. A complaint sets out one side's account, so every claim in these cases is still an allegation. Jenner has not commented herself; her attorney has rejected the claims.
