Kylie Jenner is being sued by a former housekeeper who alleges she was harassed while working at the reality star’s home.
Angelica Hernandez Vasquez claimed in court documents filed Friday that she was “treated with hostility and exclusion” by fellow staffers at Jenner’s Los Angeles house. Vasquez said in the documents that she worked in the “toxic and abusive environment” from September 2024 to August 2025.
Vasquez, who describes herself in court documents as a “Salvadoran woman and a practicing Catholic,” claimed she experienced “discrimination, harassment and retaliation…based on her race, national origin, religion and disability,” according to the lawsuit.
Although Jenner, 28, is not mentioned by name for any alleged offensive behavior in the filing, she is listed as a defendant along with companies Tri Star Services and Maison Family Services.
Representatives for Jenner did not immediately return The Independent’s request for comment.
Vasquez alleges that while she worked at the mansion in the Hidden Hills, she was harassed by fellow employees and the head housekeeper.
She claims in court documents 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 complaint alleges that her co-workers snapped their fingers at her, mocked her accent, forced her to complete other people’s work and treated her “as inferior because of her Salvadoran background.”
She also claims that in March 2025, the conflict became violent when a supervisor allegedly threw hangers at her feet while reprimanding her.

Vasquez says she raised her concerns to the Kardashians star and the two companies, but alleges that no “corrective action” was taken and that her complaints were “dismissed, mocked or ignored.”
In addition to the alleged harassment, Vasquez claims that on several instances, she was ordered to work at Jenner’s boyfriend’s house — Timothée Chalamet’s home in Beverly Hills — but was not reimbursed for expenses including transportation costs.
She alleges that she had a “loss of wages” after complaining about her coworkers’ treatment, and that she “developed anxiety, severe stress and symptoms consistent with post-traumatic stress disorder” because of the conflict, which led to her taking medical leave in July 2025.
Vasquez said she resigned the following month because “the working conditions had become intolerable.”
She is seeking damages for unpaid wages, emotional distress and more.
