- Kylie Jenner sued by former housekeeper who claims discrimination and ‘severe harassment’ (latimes.com)
A former housekeeper for Kylie Jenner has filed a lawsuit alleging harassment and discrimination during her employment with the beauty entrepreneur.
Angelica Hernandez Vasquez brought the suit against Kylie Jenner Inc., Tri Star Services, and La Maison Family Services last Friday, claiming she endured “severe and pervasive harassment” while working at Jenner’s Hidden Hills home from September 2024 to August 2025.
According to court documents, Vasquez said she faced hostility and exclusion from day one by the head housekeeper, identified as Patsy, and a supervisor named Elsi. As a Salvadoran woman and practicing Catholic, Vasquez alleges she was assigned the least desirable tasks, mocked for her accent, and subjected to racial, religious, and immigration-status-based humiliation. She also described being snapped at, having her phone inspected without consent, hearing derogatory remarks such as “Catholics are horrible people,” and being forced to perform duties assigned to others.
Vasquez reported the mistreatment after Thanksgiving 2024, but claims the harassment intensified, including a reduction in her scheduled hours. When she raised concerns again in March 2025, she alleges a supervisor threw hangers at her feet and issued threats.
While Jenner herself is not accused of direct involvement in the bullying, the lawsuit contends that the defendants failed to pay Vasquez properly and on time, neglected overtime wages, and withheld reimbursement for business expenses.
Vasquez is seeking compensation for unpaid wages, meal and rest period premiums, unreimbursed expenses, unpaid sick leave, and other withheld benefits.
Representatives for Kylie Jenner have not responded to requests for comment. The allegations remain unproven as the legal process unfolds.
