Kylie Jenner’s former housekeeper is suing the reality star, alleging that she was trapped inside Jenner’s closet, bitten by a dog and accidentally pepper sprayed in the face.
The new lawsuit marks the fourth time the 29-year-old reality star has been sued by members of her household staff within the last seven months.
Dinora Carolina Cabria Amaya filed the lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court on Nov. 5, accusing Jenner, her company and two members of her staff — Laura Dooley and Itzel Sibrian — of disability discrimination, retaliation, wrongful termination and numerous labor violations.
Amaya worked at several of Jenner’s California residences from March 2025 until she was fired in February 2026, according to the complaint. She earned $40 an hour — roughly $23 above the state’s minimum wage — and worked six days a week. Jenner owns several multimillion-dollar properties in the Los Angeles metropolitan area, in addition to a La Quinta mansion outside of Palm Springs.
The former housekeeper alleges that on an unspecified date she became locked inside Jenner’s closet and “confined against her will.” The complaint states that Dooley instructed her to enter the closet and gave her the passcode, but that Amaya became locked inside.
When she became trapped, Amaya called Dooley, who “laughed and mocked her,” and “refused to disclose the access information necessary to obtain her release,” according to the lawsuit. Amaya alleged she had a panic attack and was trapped inside the closet for more than an hour.
On Sept. 4, 2025, while cleaning and organizing a drawer in one of Jenner’s laundry rooms, an unsecured canister of pepper spray discharged directly into Amaya’s eyes and face, the lawsuit alleges. The more Amaya “complained that she was hurt, the harder Defendants made her job,” removing other staffers who had been helping Amaya and requiring her to complete work alone, according to the complaint.
On Oct. 28, 2025, Amaya was assigned to clean a doghouse, according to the complaint. While performing the assigned work, a dog bit her, according to the suit. The lawsuit does not state who the dog belonged to. Jenner has owned several dogs since she was a teenager, with some of them being prominently featured on her family’s former reality show “Keeping Up With The Kardashians.”
Amaya alleged that after she complained about her injuries, Jenner’s staff “increased her workload, assigned heavier tasks, and abruptly changed her schedule and work locations.”
“Defendants were making her life miserable so she would quit,” the lawsuit states.
Michael Rhodes, a lawyer for Jenner, noted in a statement to NBC News that the four cases brought against his client were being represented by the same attorney.
“It’s clear that this lawyer wants to use publicity to try and extract an unwarranted payday. We’re not going to be intimidated into doing that,” Rhodes said. “As such, we’ll defend these meritless cases vigorously and look forward to telling our side of the story.”
Sibrian declined to comment. A woman who answered a phone number associated with Dooley hung when asked about her employment.
Jenner was first sued by former members of her staff in April, when another former housekeeper, Angelica Hernandez Vasquez, alleged she was discriminated against.
Vasquez alleged that she was “mocked for accent and treated as inferior because of her Salvadoran background” and discriminated against for being Catholic. Vasquez additionally accused one of her supervisors of throwing a clothing hanger at Vasquez’s feet while reprimanding her.
Later that month, Juana Delgado Soto sued Jenner alleging that she endured years of discrimination, humiliation and wage violations while working as a housekeeper for Jenner for more than six years.
And in June, a private chef who worked for Jenner alleged that she suffered a miscarriage in February 2025 while working for Jenner.
The chef, who is only identified as Jane Doe, was under “overwhelming physical strain” while working at a birthday party for Jenner’s child’s in Palm Springs on February 1, 2025, according to the lawsuit. Her “requests for assistance were dismissed” and met with “hostility,” the lawsuit alleges.
The next day, the chef woke up to severe hemorrhaging and lost her unborn child, the lawsuit states. She was five months pregnant. The chef alleged that she was fired in late March, weeks after returning from medical leave for the miscarriage.
Della Shaker, the lawyer representing all four of the people suing Jenner, said in a statement on Tuesday that “no one should fear speaking the truth.”
“Fame should never be used to overshadow an employee’s suffering due to employment violations, and wealth should never determine whose voice matters,” she said.
