Kylie Jenner is facing another workplace lawsuit after a former housekeeper alleged she was injured by an unsecured pepper spray canister, bitten by one of Jenner's dogs and trapped inside a closet before being fired after raising concerns about her working conditions.
Dinora Carolina Cabria Amaya filed the complaint Thursday, November 5, 2026, in Los Angeles County Superior Court, accusing Jenner, her company and several household supervisors and service providers of disability discrimination, retaliation, wrongful termination and wage violations. The case is the fourth employment-related lawsuit brought by a former member of Jenner's household staff since April.
Amaya began working as a housekeeper in March 2025, earning $40 an hour and regularly working six days a week. According to the complaint, she was subjected to unsafe conditions, denied overtime compensation and dismissed after reporting injuries and questioning workplace practices.
On September 4, Amaya alleges she was cleaning a laundry room when an unsecured pepper spray canister accidentally discharged into her face and eyes. She reported the incident to a supervisor and was instructed to complete an incident report for Jenner's security team before seeking medical attention.
The exposure allegedly caused persistent eye pain, blurred vision, headaches and sensitivity to light. Amaya claims her supervisors failed to provide reasonable accommodations despite her complaints that the symptoms interfered with her ability to work.
The following month, one of Jenner's dogs allegedly bit Amaya while she was cleaning its doghouse. She says she immediately notified her manager but received little assistance following the incident.
The complaint also describes an occasion when Amaya entered Jenner's closet using a security code and became trapped inside. She alleges she remained there for more than an hour, began experiencing a panic attack and called her supervisor for help. According to the filing, the supervisor told her that nobody available could release her and mocked her distress.
Amaya further claims she was sometimes instructed to remain out of sight because Jenner did not want to encounter her while she worked. She alleges that her repeated reports of injuries and workplace concerns were ignored or met with increasingly difficult assignments.
The dispute escalated over compensation and reimbursement. Amaya alleges she was denied overtime pay and questioned why another housekeeper received mileage reimbursement while she did not. She was terminated February 6, 2026, shortly after raising those concerns.
Her lawsuit names Jenner, Kylie Jenner Inc., supervisors Laura Dooley and Itzel Sibrian, and household staffing companies Tri Star Services and La Maison Family Services. She is seeking unpaid wages, lost earnings, compensatory and punitive damages, and other relief.
Jenner's attorney, Michael Rhodes, denied the allegations and criticized the lawyer representing Amaya and other former household workers, accusing her of pursuing meritless claims for financial gain. He said Jenner intends to defend herself against the lawsuits.
Amaya is the third former housekeeper to sue Jenner in 2026. The complaint follows an earlier lawsuit filed by Juana Delgado Soto, who alleged workplace mistreatment and retaliation after seeking time off to attend her brother's funeral. Another former housekeeper, Angelica Hernandez Vasquez, and a former private chef have also brought employment-related claims.
A hearing in Delgado Soto's case is scheduled for March 22, 2027. Amaya's allegations will be considered separately in Los Angeles Superior Court.
