Kylie Jenner is facing another workplace-related lawsuit after a former private chef filed legal claims alleging that demanding working conditions during her employment contributed to the loss of her pregnancy.
According to court documents obtained by People, the lawsuit was filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on June 22 and names both Jenner and management company Tri Star. The chef alleges she experienced discrimination, retaliation and pregnancy-related mistreatment while working at events connected to the beauty mogul and reality star.
At this stage, the allegations remain claims made in a civil lawsuit and have not been proven in court.
According to the complaint, the woman began working as a private chef for Jenner in November 2024. She says she informed supervisors early in her employment that she was approximately three months pregnant and that her pregnancy was considered high-risk, requiring certain workplace accommodations.
The lawsuit alleges those accommodations were not properly provided.
In one of the incidents outlined in the filing, the chef claims she suffered a medical emergency in December 2024 after being instructed to transport heavy food items across a street and uphill while working an event.
According to the complaint, the physical demands became overwhelming.
The filing alleges the woman began “choking and gasping for air” before security personnel came to assist her. Rather than receiving support afterward, she claims she was reprimanded because the incident had upset Jenner.
The complaint goes on to describe another event that allegedly took place several weeks later.
On February 1, 2025, the chef says she worked at a birthday celebration for one of Jenner’s two children. During that event, she alleges she repeatedly requested assistance but received little support from supervisors despite her pregnancy.
The lawsuit describes the workload as physically demanding and emotionally exhausting.
“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.”
According to the complaint, the following morning the chef began hemorrhaging before driving herself to the emergency room, where she says she was informed she had lost her unborn child.
The filing further alleges that after notifying supervisors about the miscarriage, she was “falsely accused” of “leaving the kitchen and refrigerator in disarray following the Palm Springs event.”
The lawsuit also claims the chef was hospitalized again approximately one week later after experiencing additional hemorrhaging.
Following those medical complications, she allegedly agreed to relocate to New York as part of her employment. However, according to the complaint, her employer later characterized her communication regarding both her health and relocation as a voluntary resignation, despite her intention to remain employed.
The lawsuit alleges that on March 14, 2025, she was informed she had been removed from her assignment within the Kylie Jenner household. Her employment officially ended on March 31, 2025.
In addition to naming Jenner, the complaint also lists management firm Tri Star as a co-defendant.
The chef accuses the company of discrimination, harassment, retaliation, pregnancy-related mistreatment, failures to provide reasonable accommodations, and wage violations.
The lawsuit also alleges that representatives sent her a settlement offer and release agreement in May 2025.
As a result of the alleged events, the plaintiff claims she has suffered “severe emotional distress, anxiety, depression, humiliation, mental anguish and other damages.”
She is seeking a range of financial remedies, including compensatory damages, back pay, front pay, lost wages, lost future earnings and lost employment benefits.
Neither Jenner nor representatives for Tri Star had publicly responded to the allegations at the time the lawsuit became public.
The filing marks the second workplace-related legal dispute involving Jenner this year.
Earlier in 2026, one of Jenner’s former housekeepers filed a separate lawsuit alleging discrimination based on religion and national origin. That case remains separate from the newly filed complaint involving the former chef.
As with all civil litigation, the lawsuit represents the plaintiff’s version of events, and the allegations will ultimately be evaluated through the legal process.
For now, the case adds another legal challenge to Jenner’s growing list of courtroom matters, with further filings and responses expected as the proceedings continue.
