Kylie Jenner is facing legal trouble after a former housekeeper filed a lawsuit alleging she worked in what she describes as a “toxic and abusive environment” inside the reality star’s Los Angeles home. The lawsuit was filed by Angelica Hernandez Vasquez, who says she worked at Jenner’s Hidden Hills residence from September 2024 to August 2025. In her complaint, she alleges that she experienced ongoing discrimination, harassment, and retaliation based on her race, religion, national origin, and disability.
Importantly, while Jenner is listed as a defendant along with associated companies, the allegations themselves are not directly centered on her personal behavior. Instead, the claims focus largely on the conduct of other household staff and supervisors.
According to the filing, Vasquez alleges she was consistently assigned the most difficult tasks, excluded from team activities, and publicly humiliated in front of coworkers. She claims colleagues mocked her accent, snapped their fingers at her, and treated her as inferior because of her Salvadoran background and religious beliefs.
One of the more serious allegations involves a supervisor who allegedly threw hangers at her during a confrontation. Vasquez also claims she was forced to complete work assigned to others and was subjected to repeated intimidation and demeaning treatment during her time there.
Beyond the day-to-day workplace environment, the lawsuit also raises concerns about working conditions and compensation. Vasquez alleges that she was asked to work at a second property, reportedly linked to Jenner’s partner Timothée Chalamet, without being reimbursed for transportation or related expenses. She further claims she suffered lost wages after raising complaints about her treatment.
The lawsuit states that her concerns were reported but not meaningfully addressed, with her complaints allegedly dismissed or ignored. Over time, she says the situation took a toll on her mental health, leading to anxiety, severe stress, and symptoms consistent with post-traumatic stress. She eventually took medical leave in July 2025 and resigned the following month, citing intolerable working conditions.
Vasquez is now seeking damages for unpaid wages, emotional distress, and additional penalties.
At the same time, sources familiar with the household have pushed back on aspects of the claims, suggesting the plaintiff had performance and attendance issues during her employment. These claims have not been tested in court.
What stands out in this case is the distinction between direct and indirect responsibility. While Jenner herself is not accused of personally engaging in abusive behavior, the lawsuit raises questions about accountability at the top, particularly when complaints within a workplace are allegedly not addressed.
As of now, representatives for Jenner have not publicly responded to the lawsuit. The case will ultimately depend on what can be proven as it moves through the legal system.
