A former housekeeper for Kylie Jenner has filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles alleging she was sprayed in the face with pepper spray, locked inside a closet, bitten by one of the reality star’s dogs, and then fired after she asked to be paid mileage for driving between Jenner’s properties. Dinora Cabria Amaya, who began working for Jenner in March 2025, says the mistreatment piled up over the course of her employment before she was terminated on Feb. 6, 2026.
According to Rolling Stone, the complaint, filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court, alleges that on Sept. 4, 2025, an unsecured can of pepper spray discharged directly into Cabria Amaya’s face and eyes while she was cleaning a laundry room. She texted her supervisor that she had been in an accident at work involving the pepper spray, and the manager’s reply, according to the filing, was simply, “thanks for letting” her know. Cabria Amaya alleges she was then asked to fill out an incident report and give it to Jenner’s security before she could even see a doctor.
Eye, Back and Wrist Pain Went Unaddressed, Suit Claims
The pepper-spray exposure allegedly caused severe burning and vision problems, and the lawsuit claims Cabria Amaya received no accommodations after reporting ongoing eye symptoms. She also reported pain in her eyes, arm, wrist and back, and the complaint alleges that defendants made her job harder rather than easier once she complained of the injury. Separately, the suit claims she was confined to a room at one point because Jenner did not want to see her.
In another incident described in the filing, Cabria Amaya says she became locked inside Jenner’s closet after entering with a passcode, and that a manager told her, “No one is at the house that can let you out and I cannot give the password to anyone else.” Weeks later, on Oct. 28, 2025, she alleges Jenner’s dog bit her while she was cleaning a doghouse — an injury she says she treated herself with over-the-counter medication rather than through any formal workplace process.
Fired Days After Asking for Mileage Pay
The lawsuit alleges Cabria Amaya was terminated on Feb. 6, 2026, shortly after she requested mileage reimbursement for trips between Jenner’s houses during a shift. She believes she was fired for speaking up about wages and workplace treatment, and the complaint also alleges she was denied overtime and subjected to a hostile work environment throughout her employment.
Per the 20-page filing, Cabria Amaya is pursuing claims for wrongful termination, false imprisonment, disability discrimination, failure to accommodate, whistleblower retaliation, failure to prevent discrimination and retaliation, and intentional infliction of emotional distress. She is seeking unpaid wages, past and future lost earnings, and compensatory and punitive damages to be determined at trial. The lawsuit names Jenner, her company Kylie Jenner Inc., staff supervisors Laura Dooley and Itzel Sibrian, Tri Star Services, and La Maison Family Services as defendants. Notably, Rolling Stone reports the filing does not accuse Jenner of personally mistreating Cabria Amaya.
Another Workplace Suit Against Jenner
Jenner’s attorney, Michael Rhodes, told the outlet that the claims were filed by the same lawyer representing other housekeepers who sued Jenner earlier in 2026, and said, “we’ll defend these meritless cases vigorously.” Employment attorney Della Shaker, also speaking to Rolling Stone, said employers must not retaliate against workers for protected complaints.
In June 2026, the Los Angeles Times reported that a former private chef’s lawsuit was the third workplace case against Jenner that year; Cabria Amaya’s suit came later. Former housekeepers Angelica Hernandez Vasquez and Juana Delgado Soto filed similar lawsuits in April 2026, with all three women alleging mistreatment and whistleblower retaliation. Delgado Soto, who says she began working for Jenner in May 2019, alleged meal and rest breaks were withheld from her during her early years of employment, according to the Los Angeles Times. She also claimed her request to attend her brother’s funeral was denied and that she received a threat of termination along with an instruction not to contact Jenner again. A hearing in her case is scheduled for March 22, 2027.
Vasquez, who the Los Angeles Times reported worked for Jenner from September 2024 to August 2025, alleged she was subjected to severe and pervasive harassment during her employment. A separate lawsuit reported by the Los Angeles Times in June 2026 involved a former private chef who alleged she routinely worked 11- to 12-hour shifts, five days a week, despite telling supervisors she had a high-risk pregnancy.
