Kylie Jenner Sued by Former Chef Who Claims Grueling Shifts Caused Miscarriage

The former private chef alleges her miscarriage was due to long shifts, heavy lifting and lack of pregnancy accommodations.

Kylie Jenner is being sued for the third time in about two months, with the newest suit being filed by her former private chef claiming she suffered a miscarriage due to physically demanding work conditions.

In court documents obtained by the Los Angeles Times, the unidentified woman alleges that, from Nov. 2024 through March 2025, she routinely worked 11- to 12-hour shifts, five days a week. After allegedly informing her supervisors in early Dec. 2024 that she was three months pregnant and “required reasonable accommodations to protect her health and pregnancy,” the chef claimed she was still given physically demanding tasks.

The woman alleges that her “hostile” supervisors directed her on New Year’s Eve 2024 to “lift and transport heavy food items across the streets and uphill without assistance.” She allegedly became “dizzy, began choking and grasping for air, and required assistance from security personnel, who intervened by providing water and aid.”

The complaint cites an incident that took place around Feb. 1, 2025 when she was assigned to work at a birthday event in Palm Springs for Jenner’s child while being five months pregnant. The former chef alleges she was not provided “adequate support” and requests for help were ignored by her supervisors.

“Due to exhaustion and overwhelming physical strain, [she] broke down emotionally in the bathroom during the event,” the suit reads. “That evening, [she] experienced extreme physical exhaustion and heaviness throughout her body as a result of the prolonged and intense workload.”

The woman allegedly woke up the following morning with severe hemorrhaging. After driving herself to the emergency room, she was told by doctors that her unborn child did not have a detectable heartbeat.

Days after informing her supervisors of the miscarriage, the woman was “falsely accused of leaving the kitchen and refrigerator in disarray following the Palm Springs event.”

The woman allegedly collapsed in her bathroom on Feb. 8 after suffering severe hemorrhaging again.

The complaint claimed she was later reprimanded by a supervisor, who told her, “Stop it, just stop it. You are upsetting Kylie. You are making her depressed.”

The former chef alleges she was not only wrongfully terminated, but she dealt with accommodation failures, pregnancy discrimination and harassment. The woman was also allegedly misclassified as an independent contractor, not paid on time or accurately compensated for her hours worked.

The woman claimed she submitted a formal written complaint to the management team Tri Star following her dismissal, and received an email offering her a settlement with a release agreement.

She is seeking an unspecified amount in damages.

Kylie was sued in April by former housekeeper Angelica Vasquez, who alleges she was discriminated and harassed by her fellow housekeepers. Another housekeeper, Juana Delgado Soto, filed a lawsuit the following month, alleging she was mocked by her supervisor, routinely denied meal and rest breaks, and encountered retaliation after filing a complaint with human resources.
