Kylie Jenner has been hit with a lawsuit from her former personal chef, who claims her demanding workload led her to suffer a miscarriage.
According to court documents filed in Los Angeles Superior County on Monday, the woman (whose name has not yet been revealed) alleges she worked 11- to 12-hour shifts, five days a week, and was tasked with physically demanding jobs despite alerting supervisors to her high-risk pregnancy, reports the Los Angeles Times.
The chef claims she began working as Jenner’s private chef in November 2024. The following month, she alerted her supervisors — who are also named in the suit as co-defendants — that she was three months pregnant and “required reasonable accommodations to protect her health and pregnancy.”
On New Year’s Eve 2024, she claims she was instructed by her supervisors to “lift and transport heavy food items across the street and uphill without assistance.”
The difficult tasks led the chef to “became dizzy, began choking and gasping for air, and required assistance from security personnel, who intervened by providing water and aid.”
In another incident, she claims she was forced to work Jenner’s child’s birthday event in Palm Springs around Feb. 1, but was not given “adequate support” to meet the party’s needs. Upon her request for assistance, the chef claims she was ignored by her managers.
“Due to exhaustion and overwhelming physical strain, [she] broke down emotionally in the bathroom during the event,” reads the suit. “That evening, [she] experienced extreme physical exhaustion and heaviness throughout her body as a result of the prolonged and intense workload.”
By the next morning, she began experiencing severe blood loss and quickly made her way to a nearby hospital where she was “informed that there was no detectable heartbeat and that she had lost her unborn child.”
Days after she informed her bosses of the miscarriage, the woman was “falsely accused of leaving the kitchen and refrigerator in disarray following the Palm Springs event.”
She began experiencing more intense hemorrhaging on Feb. 8, and later developed severe depression and emotional distress as a result of the pregnancy loss, the documents state. But, she claims she was later reprimanded by one of her supervisors who told her, “Stop it, just stop it. You are upsetting Kylie. You are making her depressed.”
The chef is seeking an unspecified amount of damages and alleges that in addition to suffering accommodation failures, pregnancy discrimination and harassment, she was misclassified as an independent contractor, did not get paid on time or for the appropriate hours she worked, and was wrongfully terminated.
Reps for Jenner and the chef did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
This makes the third lawsuit Jenner, 28, has been hit with from a former employee in 2026.
In April, her ex-housekeeper, Angelica Vasquez, sued the Kylie Cosmetics founder for wrongful termination, claiming she had been subjected to discrimination over religion and national origin by other staff members.
Vasquez — who is Salvadoran and Catholic — claimed in the suit that she was routinely “assigned the most difficult and undesirable tasks; excluded from the housekeeping team; publicly belittled and humiliated in front of coworkers due to her race, national origin and religion; and subjected to intimidation and demeaning treatment.”
The plaintiff also claimed the defendants “made repeated discriminatory and derogatory comments” which were “intended to demean, intimidate, and assert power over her.”
She ultimately resigned from her position in August 2025 — nearly one year after she started in September 2024 — after she allegedly developed “symptoms consistent with post-traumatic stress disorder” from the hostile work environment.
Though none of her claims are directed explicitly at Jenner, the “Kardashians” star was named in the suit for her alleged failure to properly address Vasquez’s claims.
Later that month, Juana Delgado Soto, another one of Jenner’s former housekeepers, also filed a lawsuit against Jenner with similar claims as Vasquez. In the court documents, Soto alleged that she had faced mistreatment from other staff members.
She also claimed that she pleaded with the makeup mogul for help, but was instead threatened with firing and was told by other staff to never contact Jenner again.
