Ex-housekeeper sues Kylie Jenner after allegedly being locked in closet, pepper-sprayed, and bitten by dog
Kylie Jenner has been sued for the fourth time by a former household staff member, who claims she experienced several incidents of mistreatment while on the job.
Dinora Carolina Cabria Amaya filed a complaint against the reality star and businesswoman—along with two of her staff members, Laura Dooley and Itzel Sibrian—alleging she was trapped inside Jenner’s closet, bitten by a dog, and accidentally pepper-sprayed in the face. She accused them of disability discrimination, retaliation, wrongful termination, and numerous labor violations.
Amaya, who worked at Jenner's residences between March 2025 and February 2026, claimed that Dooley asked her to enter Jenner's closet, where she got locked inside.
She called out to Dooley for help, but the staff member "laughed and mocked" her and "refused to disclose the access information necessary to obtain her release,” according to the lawsuit filed Nov. 5 in Los Angeles County Superior Court.
Amaya allegedly remained trapped in the closet for more than an hour, triggering a panic attack.
Amaya also claimed that on Sept. 4, 2025, an unsecured canister of pepper spray discharged directly into her eyes and face while she was cleaning one of Jenner's laundry rooms. She alleged that the defendants made her job "harder" after she "complained that she was hurt," adding that she was forced to complete her work alone after other household staff were removed.
Then, on Oct. 28, 2025, Amaya said she was bitten by a dog while cleaning a doghouse, though the complaint did not specify who owned the dog.
After complaining about her injuries, “Defendants were making her life miserable so she would quit,” the lawsuit states, alleging they “increased her workload, assigned heavier tasks, and abruptly changed her schedule and work locations.”
'Meritless cases'
Reacting to the fourth lawsuit, Jenner's attorney, Michael Rhodes, noted that a single lawyer is handling all of the cases filed against his client.
“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.”
The attorney representing all four former household staff members said her goal was “to litigate the facts, not trade insults.”
“We came prepared with evidence, not publicity stunts,” she said. “Attempts to intimidate and silence my clients may have worked before they had someone willing to stand up for them. Those days are over.”
The legal battle began in April when former staffer Angelica Hernandez Vasquez sued Jenner, alleging she was "subjected to severe and pervasive harassment" by fellow employees and the head housekeeper while working at Jenner's Hidden Hills residence. "Repeated discriminatory and derogatory comments" were also allegedly made about her religion and immigration status.
Weeks later, Juana Delgado Soto, Jenner's housekeeper for six years, filed a lawsuit alleging ongoing discrimination, humiliation, and wage violations.
By June, an unnamed former private chef also sued the star, claiming that while she informed her supervisors, who were named as co-defendants, about her pregnancy and "required reasonable accommodations to protect her health and pregnancy," the defendants allegedly "continued assigning [her] excessive hours, physically demanding tasks, and high-pressure events."
The complaint alleged that after suffering a hemorrhage, the woman drove herself to the emergency room, where she was told she had miscarried. She was fired in late March shortly after returning from medical leave.
