Kylie Jenner Faces Lawsuit From Former Housekeeper Dinora Amaya

Kylie Jenner faces her fourth employee lawsuit in seven months as a former housekeeper alleges she was locked in a walk-in closet for over an hour, bitten by a dog, and sprayed with pepper spray.

Dinora Carolina Cabria Amaya filed the lawsuit on November 5 at the Superior Court in Los Angeles, RTL.de reported. Amaya worked for Jenner from March 2025 to February 2026, earning 40 dollars per hour in cash for a six-day workweek, according to Kurier.

The complaint outlines multiple labor violations, discrimination, retaliation, and wrongful termination. While Kylie Cosmetics has brought Kylie Jenner a lucrative fortune, her staff may not have experienced a pleasant time working for Kim Kardashian’s step-sister.

The most striking allegation centers on an incident inside Jenner’s walk-in wardrobe. Hermès bags, Birkin bags, and luxury fill the walk-in closet of 29-year-old Kylie Jenner, serving as a million-dollar paradise where individual exceptionally precious bags from her collection are reportedly worth around 300,000 dollars. Supervisor Laura Dooley instructed Amaya to enter the room using a digital code, Heute reported.

The door shut behind her and would not open. Dooley allegedly told her by phone that nobody was in the house to let her out and she did not know the password to give anyone else, telling her to simply wait, BILD reported. Amaya remained trapped for over an hour, during which time a supervisor laughed at her distress, according to Heute.

Workplace Injuries and Dismissal

The filing details two additional workplace incidents from late 2025. In September, Amaya accidentally discharged an unsecured can of pepper spray into her face while cleaning a laundry drawer, leaving her with blurred vision, burning, and irritation, Kurier reported. The following month, she was bitten by a dog while cleaning a kennel on one of Jenner’s properties, BILD reported. She received no meaningful support after reporting the injury, Kurier reported.

Amaya claims she was fired in February 2026 shortly after asking why another housekeeper received travel expense reimbursements while she did not, RTL.de reported.

During her working hours, she was allegedly instructed beforehand to leave rooms or stay out of sight because Jenner supposedly did not feel like seeing her. The lawsuit also claims she was regularly denied overtime pay and was not compensated for travel time between Jenner’s various properties, Kurier reported.

Jenner Faces Multiple Lawsuits from Former Employees

This filing marks the fourth legal action brought by a former domestic employee against Jenner or her companies within a seven-month span, Kurier reported.

Earlier disputes include two lawsuits filed by former housekeepers in April and a suit filed in June by a former private chef alleging pregnancy discrimination and wrongful termination, BILD reported. The former private chef claimed she performed physically extremely taxing labor despite a high-risk pregnancy and later suffered a miscarriage.

Jenner’s legal counsel strongly rejected the allegations. Michael Rhodes said that the cases are unfounded and defended the team against the claims, RTL.de reported. Rhodes maintained that the lawsuits are filed by the same attorney representing former employees and argued that the legal actions aim to exploit public attention to extract unwarranted financial compensation.

Kylie Jenner herself is said not to have been involved in the specific incidents described by Amaya, although the lawsuit is directed against her and her company as employers.

Amaya’s attorney countered that the case raises fundamental concerns about the treatment of domestic workers and whether employees might hesitate to report alleged misconduct out of fear, RTL.de reported. “Niemand sollte Angst haben, die Wahrheit zu sagen,” Amaya’s attorney told Kurier.
