Kylie Jenner Faces Fourth Household Staff Lawsuit—Former Housekeeper Alleges Dog Bite, Being Trapped in Closet

  • by

Kylie Jenner‘s former housekeeper is suing the beauty mogul, claiming that she was trapped inside Jenner’s closet, bitten by her dog, and pepper-sprayed in the face.

The lawsuit, which is the fourth filed by a member of Jenner’s household staff since April, was brought by Dinora Cabria Amaya, who began working for the reality TV star in March 2025.

In the 20-page filing, which was obtained by The Rolling Stone, Amaya claimed that she was denied overtime and experienced a hostile work environment.

She also claimed that she suffered workplace injuries, including being hit with pepper spray, which allegedly caused “severe burning and vision problems.” 

According to the lawsuit, she messaged her manager, “Sorry to interrupt you, I had an accident at work, someone left pepper spray and took off safety.” The manager then allegedly replied, “Thanks for letting us know.”

They then requested that the housekeeper fill out a report and provide it to Jenner’s security before seeing a healthcare professional.

She then claimed she experienced “significant eye pain, blurred vision, headaches, burning, irritation, and sensitivity,” but received no accommodations due to pain.

“The more plaintiff complained that she was hurt, the harder defendants made her job,” the lawsuit claimed.

Amaya then claimed that she was often “confined in a room because defendant Jenner did not want to see her” and that her “repeated reports of ongoing pain” were not regarded with importance.

In one alleged incident, she described using a passcode to enter the TV personality’s closet, only to became locked inside and suffer a panic attack.

“No one is at the house that can let you out, and I cannot give the password to anyone else; you just have to wait,” the housekeeper’s manager allegedly replied when Amaya told her she was locked inside.

Amaya claimed that her manager “mocked her” during their call.

The housekeeper then recalled the alleged incident that saw Jenner’s dog biting her while she was cleaning the doghouse.

“Again, no meaningful assistance was provided. Plaintiff purchased over-the-counter medication and treated the injury herself. She continued reporting that her eyes hurt, her arm and wrist hurt from the dog bite, and her back hurt from the increasingly physical work,” the filing states.

Amaya was fired on Feb. 6, 2026, after requesting mileage reimbursement for her trips to Jenner’s homes.

Jenner owns multiple homes in the Los Angeles metropolitan area and a property outside of Palm Springs.

The housekeeper is now claiming that she was fired because she spoke up about her treatment.

The filing names the beauty mogul, her company Kylie Jenner Inc., staff supervisors Laura Dooley and Itzel Sibrian, Tri Star Services, and La Maison Family Services.

The lawsuit claims wrongful termination, false imprisonment, disability discrimination, failure to provide reasonable accommodations, whistleblower retaliation, failure to prevent discrimination and retaliation, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

Amaya is seeking unpaid wages, past and future monetary earnings, and damages. The housekeeper is being represented by lawyer Della Shaker.

Amaya earned $40 an hour working for Jenner—$23 more than the state’s minimum wage. Amaya worked six days a week.

Jenner’s lawyer, Michael Rhodes, noted that Shaker is the same lawyer representing the other members of Jenner’s staff who sued earlier this year.

“It’s clear that this lawyer wants to use publicity to try to extract an unwarranted payday. We’re not going to be intimidated into doing that. As such, we’ll defend these meritless cases vigorously and look forward to telling our side of the story,” Rhodes told The Rolling Stone.

In response, Shaker told the outlet, “For employees working in high-profile households, the fear of losing future employment opportunities can be overwhelming. When your livelihood depends on discretion, references, and powerful professional relationships, speaking out can feel impossible. But no employer has the right to retaliate against workers for protected complaints. The truth should never be buried behind wealth, fear, or silence.”

Amaya’s lawsuit comes after former housekeepers Angelica Hernandez Vasquez and Juana Delgado Soto also filed suits against Jenner, also alleging mistreatment and whistleblower retaliation.
