Kylie Jenneris being taken to court by a former housekeeper who says she "was subjected to severe and pervasive harassment" while working at Jenner's home.
The woman, Angelica Hernandez Vasquez, filed a lawsuit April 17 against Jenner and the agencies that employed Vasquez in Los Angeles. Since she began working at Jenner's house in September 2024, Vasquez says, she was subjected to "ahostile work environment" in which she experienced "discrimination, harassment, and retaliation … based on her race, national origin, religion, and disability."
USA TODAY has reached out to Jenner's representative for comment.
The bulk of the claims made by Vasquez, described as a "Salvadoranwoman and a practicing Catholic," targeted her supervisors, who she said "snapped their fingers" at her, "mocked [her] for her accent and treated [her] as inferior because of her Salvadoran background."

Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner's dating timeline in photos

In addition, Vasquez was allegedly subjected to "repeated demeaning comments referencing [her] Salvadoran origin and immigration status, insinuations that coworkers of similar background had been deported, [and] boasting about United States citizenship in a manner designed to demean Plaintiff as a work authorization permit holder."
Housekeeper says she also worked at Kylie Jenner's boyfriend's home
She alleges that after raising concerns about her treatment around November 2024, Vasquez was mocked by her two supervisors, with "no remedial action" taken. Instead, she says, the "mistreatment" escalated and she experienced retaliation. After she lodged another complaint in March 2025, Vasquez claims, "a supervisor threw hangers at Plaintiff's feet while reprimanding her."

Vasquez called the working conditions "so intolerable, hostile, and unlawful" that a "reasonable person" in her position "would have felt compelled to resign," the lawsuit states. Vasquez quit in August, 11 months after her employment began.
Jenner and the companies, La Maison Family Services and Tri Star Services, should be held liable because they "knew or should have known of the harassment and failed to take immediate and appropriate corrective action to stop the conduct and prevent its recurrence," Vasquez's lawsuit argues.
Among Vasquez's allegations of California Labor Code and California Fair Employment and Housing Act violations are claims that she was not reimbursed for work-related expenses.
She says she was directed to work in locations other than Jenner's home, including "Jenner's boyfriend's residence on multiple occasions." However, Vasquez alleges, she was not compensated for mileage and transportation costs.
Jenner and Timothée Chalamet have been romantically linked since 2023 and have since made several high-profile appearances at events likethe Oscarsand theGolden Globe Awards.
Vasquez is requesting a jury trial that will determine compensatory, restitution and punitive damages owed to her and asks for an injunction against the defendants that would prevent them from engaging in the conduct she'd alleged.
