Reality television star and young billionaire Kylie Jenner is facing a new lawsuit from a former private chef. The chef alleges that she suffered a miscarriage in February 2025, during her fifth month of pregnancy, due to the strenuous working conditions imposed upon her.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ, the unnamed chef claims she regularly worked shifts of 11 to 12 hours, five days a week. She reportedly informed her employer and management team about her high-risk pregnancy and requested accommodations to protect her health, but these pleas were allegedly ignored.
The tragic event occurred while the chef was working at a demanding event in Palm Springs. The lawsuit states that she was not provided with adequate support despite warnings of exhaustion, and experienced an emotional breakdown in the bathroom. The following day, she woke up bleeding and drove herself to the hospital, where she was told she had lost her unborn child.
Stop. You're bothering Kylie. You're making her depressed.
Following the miscarriage, the chef reportedly suffered from depression. The lawsuit also includes a claim that a supervisor told her, "Stop. You're bothering Kylie. You're making her depressed." The chef further alleges that she was wrongfully terminated in the spring of 2025 and was misclassified as an independent contractor, leading to underpayment for her hours worked. Her attorney, Della Shaker, stated that "star status does not exempt anyone from California labor laws."
This is the third lawsuit filed against Jenner by former employees in recent months, with two previous cases brought by former housekeepers also citing poor working conditions. Representatives for Kylie Jenner have not yet responded to the new accusations.
