Kylie Jenner is now facing a second lawsuit from a former housekeeper, who claims she endured severe mistreatment during her time working for the celebrity businesswoman.
The filing comes just one week after another member of Jenner’s cleaning staff took legal action — alleging harassment and discrimination by coworkers — and this new plaintiff says she too suffered ongoing abuse that Jenner failed to stop, even after she personally reached out to her employer for help through a handwritten letter.
Juana Delgado Soto has named Kylie Jenner, Kylie Jenner Inc., staff supervisor Itzel Sibrian, Tri Star Services, and La Maison Family Services in a lawsuit filed Wednesday. The claims include racial discrimination, harassment, unpaid wages, and failure to address or prevent workplace misconduct.
A spokesperson for Jenner declined to offer any comment Thursday, stating the star had not yet had the opportunity to review the lawsuit.
Court documents obtained by the Los Angeles Times reveal that Soto began her employment with Jenner in May 2019. She alleges that meal and rest breaks were regularly denied during her early years on the job, but that conditions worsened significantly toward the end of 2023 when Sibrian took over as her direct supervisor. Soto says she filed an internal HR complaint in 2024 after Sibrian allegedly ridiculed her accent, immigration background, and ethnicity, and called her stupid. Sibrian was briefly removed following the complaint but later reinstated — after which, Soto claims, she faced retaliation in the form of reduced pay, excessive workloads, and altered scheduling.
One particularly distressing incident described in the lawsuit occurred on Soto’s birthday, when Sibrian allegedly threatened her with termination if she left on time, stating that nobody cared about her birthday because Jenner was hosting a dinner that evening. As a result, Soto says she missed her own surprise birthday celebration.
Toward the end of 2024, housekeeping supervisors identified as Patsy and Elsy — figures also mentioned in the earlier lawsuit against Jenner — took on leadership roles within the household. Under their management, Soto alleges she was denied proper bereavement leave following the sudden loss of her brother and was instructed to return to work immediately. While on the job, she claims coworkers whispered accusations that she was fabricating her grief, repeatedly dropped trash on the floor and made her pick it up, and created obstacles when she sought time off to attend her brother’s funeral Mass.
By April 2025, having exhausted attempts to resolve her concerns through management, Soto took matters into her own hands by composing a letter to Jenner directly. She placed it on the reality star’s massage table just before a scheduled session.
In the letter, Soto reportedly wrote that she needed to convey how deeply she was being mentally harmed, and apologized for burdening Jenner with these matters, expressing her belief that Jenner would never allow such treatment had she known about it.
The very next day, Soto claims she was warned she could be terminated and was ordered never to approach Jenner directly again. She was allegedly told she could no longer make eye contact with Jenner, was not permitted to smile at her, and was expected to physically remove herself from any space Jenner entered.
Following the letter, Soto says her supervisors began requiring her to vacate the property whenever Jenner was on-site, limited her bathroom access, assigned her to clean the dog quarters, and banned her from drinking water inside the home — referring to it as “Kylie’s water.”
By August 2025, Soto sent a message to her supervisors expressing that she could no longer endure the daily mistreatment, describing severe anxiety, sleeplessness, and the physical toll the stress had taken on her.
If you or someone you know is struggling with workplace-related mental health issues, the SAMHSA National Helpline (1-800-662-4357) provides free and confidential support around the clock.
Soto is pursuing both punitive and compensatory damages, with the total amount to be determined.
“My client alleges multiple employment and labor law violations by Kylie Jenner and her affiliated companies, and I commend her for the courage to come forward and seek accountability, recognizing that taking the first step is often the most difficult,” said Soto’s attorney Della Shaker in a statement to the Los Angeles Times. Shaker also represents Angelica Hernandez Vasquez, who brought a separate suit against Jenner on April 17.
Vasquez’s complaint describes what she calls severe and persistent harassment throughout her employment with Jenner’s household from September 2024 to August 2025. Vasquez, who identifies as a Salvadoran woman and devout Catholic, alleges she was routinely demeaned by fellow staff on the basis of her race, national origin, faith, and immigration status. Jenner was not personally accused of any direct bullying conduct in Vasquez’s filing.
