Kylie Jenner is facing a discrimination lawsuit filed by a former housekeeper who claims she was subjected to relentless harassment and a “toxic and abusive work environment” while employed at the beauty mogul’s Los Angeles-area residences.
The suit, filed in Los Angeles by Angelica Vasquez and obtained by multiple outlets, alleges that Vasquez — described as “a Salvadoran woman and a practicing Catholic” — endured systemic mistreatment from the moment she started. Vasquez has also named two companies, Tri Star Services and Maison Family Services, as defendants.
Vasquez claims she started working for Jenner as a housekeeper at her Beverly Hills residence on September 10, 2024, and was then moved to her Hidden Hills residence one week later, where she reported to a woman named Elsi and head housekeeper Patsy.
According to the complaint, Vasquez was “routinely assigned the most difficult and undesirable tasks; excluded from the housekeeping team; publicly belittled and humiliated in front of coworkers due to her race, national origin and religion; and subjected to intimidation and demeaning treatment.”
The former housekeeper alleges she was mocked by colleagues for her accent and treated as inferior due to her Salvadoran background, and that “things got violent.” Specifically, in March 2025, “a supervisor threw hangers at [her] feet while reprimanding her.”
The filing states that “no remedial action was taken by any supervisors who witnessed this.” When Vasquez spoke out, she allegedly faced “increased workload; reduction of scheduled hours; false accusations and disciplinary warnings; continued public humiliation; and hostile verbal and physical conduct.”
Vasquez took medical leave in July 2025 and says she “had no choice but to resign” the following month as “the working conditions had become intolerable.” She alleges she developed anxiety and “symptoms consistent with post-traumatic stress disorder” as a result.
Vasquez is seeking punitive damages and restitution “in the form of unpaid wages, meal and rest period premium pay, unreimbursed business expenses, unpaid sick leave, and all other compensation unlawfully withheld.”
Notably, Jenner is not called out by name for any specific behavior in the filing, but she is listed as a defendant. Sources familiar with Kylie’s household tell TMZ the plaintiff was a junior housekeeping employee who had attendance issues, among other workplace concerns.
