Kylie Jenner is facing a new lawsuit filed by a former private chef who claims that demanding working conditions during a high-risk pregnancy contributed to a miscarriage. The legal action marks the third workplace-related lawsuit brought against Jenner in recent months by former employees.
According to court documents, the chef alleges that she was subjected to physically demanding work despite informing supervisors that she was experiencing a high-risk pregnancy and required accommodations. The lawsuit claims her concerns were ignored while she continued working long shifts and handling strenuous tasks.
Allegations of Intense Workload
The former chef states that she worked primarily for Jenner and her family, often completing lengthy shifts and preparing food for private events. She alleges that even after notifying management about her pregnancy, she was expected to continue performing physically challenging duties, including moving heavy items and catering large gatherings. One of the key incidents mentioned in the lawsuit reportedly occurred during a large family event in Palm Springs. The chef claims she was not provided with adequate assistance despite the scale of the gathering and the physical demands involved. She alleges that the workload became overwhelming and caused significant physical strain. The lawsuit further states that following the event, she experienced severe medical complications and later learned that she had lost her unborn child.
Claims of Discrimination and Retaliation
Beyond the miscarriage allegations, the former employee accuses Jenner and associated management personnel of pregnancy discrimination, harassment, retaliation, wrongful termination, and wage-related violations. She also claims she was improperly classified as an independent contractor rather than an employee. The chef alleges that after suffering the pregnancy loss, she continued to face hostility from supervisors. According to the complaint, requests for support and accommodations were not handled appropriately, and her employment was eventually terminated. She is seeking financial compensation for emotional distress, physical suffering, lost income, and other damages connected to the alleged workplace treatment.
Part of a Broader Pattern of Legal Challenges
This latest lawsuit follows two earlier cases filed by former household employees. Those lawsuits included allegations of discrimination, labor violations, and poor workplace conditions. However, reports note that the previous plaintiffs did not directly accuse Jenner herself of personally engaging in misconduct, instead focusing on managers and workplace practices. The new case has generated significant discussion online, with many people debating employer responsibilities toward pregnant workers and the treatment of household staff employed by high-profile celebrities. Community reactions have been largely sympathetic toward the former chef, though some commentators argue that responsibility may lie more with supervisors and staffing managers than with Jenner personally.
Investigation and Next Steps
At this stage, the allegations remain claims made in a civil lawsuit and have not been proven in court. Jenner’s legal team had not publicly responded to the accusations at the time many reports were published. The case is expected to move through the legal process in the coming months, where evidence from both sides will be examined. The outcome could determine whether the court finds that workplace conditions and management decisions played a role in the events described by the former chef.
