A former private chef has filed a lawsuit accusing Kylie Jenner’s household of creating working conditions that led to a miscarriage, alleging long shifts, heavy lifting and ignored requests for pregnancy accommodations.
What the complaint says about the chef’s duties and schedule
The suit, filed in state court, lays out the chef’s account of grueling hours and physical demands. She says she began working for Jenner in November 2024.

- Shifts of roughly 11 to 12 hours, five days a week.
- Tasks included moving heavy food supplies and cooking for large events.
- She notified supervisors in December that she was three months pregnant and asked for reasonable adjustments.
Specific incidents the plaintiff describes
The complaint highlights several moments that the chef says endangered her pregnancy and her health.
New Year’s Eve assignment
On Dec. 31, 2024, she alleges supervisors ordered her to lift and carry heavy food across a street and uphill, with no help offered.
Party in Palm Springs
At a child’s birthday event in Palm Springs around Feb. 1, the chef says she was expected to manage demanding tasks without adequate support.
- She reports becoming dizzy and needing intervention from security staff.
- She says she experienced an emotional breakdown in a bathroom during the event.
Medical emergency and pregnancy loss
The suit states that the morning after the Palm Springs event she suffered severe bleeding and went to a hospital. Medical staff told her there was no detectable heartbeat.
Alleged aftermath at work
After informing supervisors about the miscarriage, the plaintiff claims she faced blame and disciplinary actions.
- She says managers accused her of leaving the kitchen in disarray after the Palm Springs job.
- The documents claim she experienced further hemorrhaging on Feb. 8.
- She alleges one supervisor told her to “stop” because she was upsetting Kylie, which the suit frames as dismissive and retaliatory.
Legal claims listed in the complaint
The chef’s lawsuit names Jenner and several supervisors as defendants. It alleges a range of workplace violations.
- Failure to accommodate a high-risk pregnancy.
- Pregnancy discrimination and harassment.
- Misclassification as an independent contractor.
- Unpaid or improperly calculated wages.
- Wrongful termination.
- Emotional distress and depression tied to the loss.
Relief sought and legal representation
The plaintiff seeks unspecified monetary damages and legal remedies for the harms described.
Her attorney, Della Shaker, told reporters that their client has waited to have her allegations heard in court and emphasized the personal toll of the events.
Responses from Jenner’s camp
Representatives for Kylie Jenner did not immediately provide a statement to media outlets when contacted about the suit.
Context: other recent suits involving Jenner’s household
This filing follows two other lawsuits earlier in 2026 brought by former household staffers.
Angelica Vasquez’s wrongful termination claim
In April, an ex-housekeeper alleged discrimination based on religion and national origin. She said she was assigned undesirable tasks and belittled at work.
- Vasquez, who is Salvadoran and Catholic, claimed mistreatment by colleagues.
- She resigned in August 2025, citing symptoms consistent with post-traumatic stress disorder.
- The suit names Jenner for not adequately addressing the complaints, though many allegations are directed at other staff.
Similar allegations from Juana Delgado Soto
Another former housekeeper later filed a separate suit with comparable claims. She says she experienced mistreatment and was warned against contacting Jenner after raising concerns.
What to watch next
The new lawsuit will proceed through the civil court process, where both sides may exchange documents and deposition testimony. Media outlets and legal analysts will likely follow developments closely.
As the case moves forward, additional statements from counsel or representatives could shape public understanding of the allegations and defenses.
