A woman who worked as Kylie Jenner’s housekeeper for almost a year claims her boss discriminated against and harassed her on the job, creating an “intolerable” working environment.

Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner turned heads with their bold entrances to the Vanity Fair Oscar Party, joining Hollywood’s brightest parties.
Kylie Jenner is being taken to court by a former housekeeper who claims she suffered “severe and widespread harassment” while working in Jenner’s home.
The woman, Angelica Hernandez Vazquez, filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles on April 17th against the agency that hired Jenner and Vazquez. Vazquez said that since she began working at Jenner’s home in September 2024, she was subjected to a “hostile work environment” where she experienced “discrimination, harassment, and retaliation based on race, national origin, religion, and disability.”
USA TODAY has reached out to Jenner’s representatives for comment.
Most of Vazquez’s claims, described as a “Salvadoran woman and Catholic,” target her supervisors, who she said “snap their fingers” at her, “made fun of her accent and treated (her) as inferior because of her Salvadoran background.”
Additionally, Vazquez was allegedly subjected to “repeated derogatory comments referencing her Salvadoran origin and immigration status, insinuations that co-workers with similar backgrounds had been deported, and bragging about her U.S. citizenship in a manner that disparaged Plaintiff as a work permit holder.”
Housekeeper says she also worked at Kylie Jenner’s boyfriend’s house
She alleges that after raising concerns about her treatment around November 2024, Ms. Vazquez was ridiculed by two supervisors and “no corrective action was taken.” Instead, she says, the “abuse” escalated and she faced retaliation. After she filed another complaint in March 2025, Vasquez alleges that “her supervisor threw a hanger at Plaintiff’s feet while reprimanding her.”
Vazquez’s working conditions were “so intolerable, hostile, and illegal that a reasonable person” in her position “would have felt compelled to resign,” the complaint states. Ms. Vasquez resigned in August, 11 months after starting her employment.
Vasquez’s lawsuit alleges that Jenner, La Maison Family Services, and Tri Star Services should be held liable because they “knew or should have known of the harassment and failed to take immediate and appropriate corrective action to stop the behavior and prevent it from happening again.”
Vasquez’s claims of violations of the California Labor Code and the California Fair Employment and Housing Act include allegations that she was not reimbursed for work-related expenses.
She said she was directed to work in locations other than Jenner’s home, including “visiting Jenner’s boyfriend’s residence numerous times.” However, Vasquez claims he was not compensated for mileage or travel expenses.
Jenner and Timothée Chalamet have been romantically linked since 2023, and have since made several high-profile appearances at events such as the Oscars and Golden Globes.
Ms. Vasquez is seeking a jury trial to determine compensatory, compensatory and punitive damages against her, and is seeking an injunction restraining the defendants from participating in the acts she alleges.
