Kylie Jenner is facing a new lawsuit after a former private chef claimed the demanding workload she was allegedly required to perform during her pregnancy contributed to her miscarriage.
The lawsuit, filed Monday in Los Angeles Superior Court, claims the reality TV star's former chef lost her unborn child in February 2025 after being required to work long hours and carry out physically demanding tasks despite informing her employers she was pregnant.
According to the Los Angeles Times, the lawsuit also names business management firm Tri Star as a co-defendant.
The chef has not been publicly identified. Her attorney, Della Shaker, said: "Celebrity status does not exempt anyone from California's employment laws. We look forward to presenting the evidence in court and allowing the facts to speak for themselves."
Shaker told The Independent: "Given that the laws apply equally to everyone, regardless of wealth, influence, or public profile. Our client also deserves the same protections afforded to every employee in California."
According to the complaint, the chef was hired to work for the mom of two in November 2024.
The following month, she allegedly informed her supervisors that she was three months pregnant and "required reasonable accommodations to protect her health".
Despite that, the lawsuit claims she was still expected to perform physically demanding work.
On New Year's Eve, the complaint alleges she was required to "lift and transport heavy food items across the street and uphill without assistance," after which she "became dizzy, began choking and gasping for air, and required assistance from security personnel, who intervened by providing water and aid."
The lawsuit further alleges that while working at a birthday party for one of Jenner's children in Palm Springs in early February, she was not provided with "adequate support".
Per the complaint, she "broke down emotionally" because of the "exhaustion and overwhelming physical strain" before later experiencing "extreme physical exhaustion and heaviness throughout her body as a result of the prolonged and intense workload".
The following morning, she allegedly began hemorrhaging and went to the emergency room, where she was informed that she had "lost her unborn child".
The new lawsuit is the latest legal challenge involving the Kylie Cosmetics founder.
In April, two former housekeepers also filed separate lawsuits against the reality star.
One of those complaints was brought by Angelica Hernandez Vasquez, who alleged she was subjected to harassment, discrimination, and retaliation while working at the star's Los Angeles home between September 2024 and August 2025.
Although the business mogul was named as a defendant alongside Tri Star Services and Maison Family Services, the lawsuit does not accuse her of personally carrying out the alleged harassment.
Instead, Vasquez claimed 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."
She also alleged coworkers mocked her Salvadoran accent, snapped their fingers at her, forced her to complete other employees' work, and treated her as inferior because of her background.
The complaint states that tensions escalated in March 2025 when a supervisor allegedly threw hangers at Vasquez's feet during a confrontation.
Vasquez claims she reported the incidents to Jenner and the companies responsible for managing the household, but says her concerns were ignored, ridiculed, or dismissed, and that "no corrective action" was taken.
She further alleged she was regularly instructed to work at Jenner's boyfriend's residence, believed to be Timothée Chalamet's Beverly Hills home, without being compensated for transportation costs.
The lawsuit claims the alleged treatment caused Vasquez financial losses and left her suffering from "anxiety, severe stress, and symptoms consistent with post-traumatic stress disorder."
After taking medical leave in July 2025, she resigned the following month, alleging that the working conditions had become intolerable.
Jenner and the other defendants had not publicly responded to the allegations at the time of writing.

Kylie Jenner has been sued by her former housekeeper for alleged discrimination.
Angelica Hernandez Vasquez has claimed in the lawsuit, filed last week, that she was subjected to harassment, discrimination, and retaliation while working at the reality TV star’s Los Angeles home from September 2024 to August 2025.
Vasquez is now seeking punitive damages and restitution damages "in the form of unpaid wages, meal and rest period premium pay, unreimbursed business expenses, unpaid sick leave, and all other compensation unlawfully withheld," per PEOPLE.
Vasquez identifies as a "Salvadoran woman and a practicing Catholic," per The Independent.
Although Jenner’s name is not specifically mentioned for any direct offensive actions in the court documents, she is listed as a defendant alongside Tri Star Services and Maison Family Services, the companies associated with the house.
The lawsuit alleges that the housekeeper 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".
Vasquez claims that her coworkers routinely snapped their fingers at her, mocked her accent, forced her to complete others’ work, and treated her as inferior due to her Salvadoran background.
The complaint details several instances where Vasquez was belittled in front of her colleagues, which caused her emotional distress.
According to the filing, the conflict escalated in March 2025 when a supervisor allegedly threw hangers at Vasquez’s feet during a confrontation.
Vasquez asserts that she reported these incidents of harassment to both the Kylie Cosmetics founder and the involved companies, but her complaints were ignored, mocked, or dismissed, with "no corrective action" taken.
In addition to the harassment, Vasquez alleges that she was frequently ordered to work at Jenner’s boyfriend’s residence, likely referring to Timothée Chalamet’s Beverly Hills home.
However, she claims she was not reimbursed for transportation expenses incurred during these assignments.
Vasquez has revealed that she suffered financial loss due to her complaints about the alleged mistreatment, and that she developed "anxiety, severe stress, and symptoms consistent with post-traumatic stress disorder".
This mental health decline led to her taking medical leave in July 2025, with her resignation following a month later in August.
She resigned the following month because "the working conditions had become intolerable".

A woman claiming she suffered a miscarriage after sustaining injuries during the deadly 2021 Astroworld Festival is suing Travis Scott for the wrongful death of her unborn baby.
Astroworld 2021 ended in chaos on November when multiple people were killed and hundreds got injured as the result of a stampede toward the stage at the event in Houston.
Shanazia Williamson and her husband, Jarawd Owens, from Dayton, Ohio, attended the festival and say they were expecting a baby until Williamson was crushed by a stampede of fans, according to a wrongful death lawsuit cited by Rolling Stone magazine.
The couple filed the suit in December against the rapper, security company Valle Services SMG, ASM Global, promoters Live Nation, and ScoreMore, and the Harris County Sports and Convention Corporation.
"While in attendance at the festival, Shanazia was trampled and crushed resulting in horrific injuries and ultimately the death of her and Jarawd’s unborn child," the suit declares. "In addition, Shanazia sustained injuries to her shoulder, back, leg, chest, stomach, and other parts of her body."
"Defendants’ failure to plan, design, manage, operate, staff, and supervise the event was a direct and proximate cause of Shanazia’s injuries and death of her and Jarawd’s unborn child," it adds.
Official records show that 10 people were killed at the music event, along with hundreds more suffering injuries as Scott performed on stage.
The suit also alleges that the defendants - Scott, Live Nation promoters, and others - displayed negligence for several reasons such as providing an insufficient security team, a lack of medical personnel, and a failure to recognize safety hazards during the festival.
Williams and Owens' claim is one of the hundreds of lawsuits filed against the rapper and companies involved in the festival.
Per Daily Mail, a document filed in Harris County, Texas, on Monday showed that over 700 people who are suing over the festival suffered injuries that needed ample medical treatment.
The 'Sicko Mode' rapper continuously denied any responsibility for the tragedy at Astroworld until March when he addressed the tragic festival by announcing a $5 million project called Project HEAL that ensures event safety.
Six months after Astroworld, Scott performed publicly for the first time at a concert in Miami on May 8. He is also scheduled to perform at the Billboard music awards ceremony this Sunday.

Kylie Jenner has revealed a horror story from her pregnancy with son Aire, after being placed on bed rest because he was ‘falling out’ of her vagina.
The superstar was left unable to walk after her ordeal, although everything turned out OK in the end.
Speaking on the podcast Therapuss earlier this week, Jenner discussed the differences and problems she experienced during her two pregnancies.
She explained to host Jake Shane how her pregnancy with her second child Aire left her unable to walk and on bed rest because of complications.
The 28-year-old cosmetics mogul - now in a relationship with Timothée Chalamet - has been suffering with a bad back for some time, but claims it became so much worse during her second pregnancy with Aire, even to the point where she awoke one day unable to walk.
At 12 weeks pregnant, she believed she was in good shape, but - as so many women will be able to attest - at times like this in life, the unexpected is never far away.
"I had crazy sciatica pain and crazy lower back pain," Jenner said.
She had started out with ‘high expectations’ for the pregnancy, feeling in the ‘best shape’ of her life, but things turned quickly.
Jenner also opened up on her weight gain during pregnancy with both Aire, who is now four, and Stormi, eight, both of whom she shares with ex-partner Travis Scott.
Clearly it’s totally normal to gain weight during pregnancy, but Jenner gained 60lbs during her first pregnancy and 65 during her second, admitting that she ‘ate everything’ including a ‘pint of ice cream every night’.
All the while, she was suffering with awful nausea.
While describing her pregnancy with Stormi as a ‘breeze’, she found herself confined to her bed during the second, because of serious back pain and sciatica.
What’s more, there were other issues.
She explained: “Lots of things were happening with my vagina,
"I was three centimeters dilated for like a month and a half, two months, the baby was falling out.”
So, her doctor told her to stay in bed.
On top of all this, her pregnancies carried their own emotional trauma as well, and she admitted to ‘freaking out’ after falling pregnant with Stormi at 19-years-old.
"I was freaking out. I was really scared to tell my parents,” she said.
"I was really scared."
Luckily, ‘no-one was mad’ at her.
However, she continued: "But there was something just inside of me that knew that I wanted to do this, and I had to make a decision for myself,
"And even if I have to do this alone, or however, this is the choice that I'm going to make."
Being a huge celebrity carries its own problems when trying to separate public and private life.
Jenner wanted to keep her pregnancy private from the paparazzi, meaning that she had to isolate herself from the world somewhat.
She said: "I really didn't leave the house. I felt like at the time, you know, reflecting back to it, I felt like I was protecting myself. And I was in a way.”
After announcing the happy news, she ‘sobbed for three hours’ because of the pressure.
"[It was] just a big thing that I was, hiding from the world. And I was worried about everyone's reactions,” she said.
"It was just so emotional. And I'm like, 'Maybe next time I wouldn't do that.’”
Thankfully, she has two healthy children to show for her struggles at the end of it.
