Synopsis

Kylie Jenner’s staffing troubles have hit a new level, from her kitchen to the courtroom. Former housekeeper Dinora Carolina Cabria Amaya had filed a lawsuit against Jenner on November 5, 2026, alleging unpaid overtime, disability discrimination, retaliation and wrongful termination. But that’s not all there is; her complaint has rather come as a plot twist of its own: a closet lockup lasting over an hour, a pepper spray mishap and a dog bite. That makes the total tally four suits from ex-staff in the last 7 months, all filed by the same lawyer, against the same person. Jenner’s team has called the cases meritless. None of it has been proven in court, but the pot of drama is stirring, and it may spit out something scandalous.

Kylie Jenner Sued Again: Who Is Dinora Carolina Cabria Amaya?

Meet the latest ex-employee taking the Kylie Cosmetics founder to court. Another month was followed by yet another filing. Amaya has sued Jenner, her company - Kylie Cosmetics- and two staffers, Laura Dooley and Itzel Sibrian, in a Los Angeles Court on November 5, 2026.

According to Amaya, her main job was the cleanup after Jenner, and that’s what she did; she kept Jenner’s homes spotless from March 2025 until she was shown the door in February 2026. She says she worked six days a week, answering to Dooley and Sibrian as her supervisor. Her complaint now lists disability discrimination, retaliation and wrongful termination, plus a few other labor violations for good measure.

Locked in Kylie Jenner’s Closet? The Wildest Allegations

A giant closet, a passcode and an hour-plus of panic, allegedly, of course. Yet this is the part everyone cannot stop talking about. There were mainly three factors involved - the closet, the pepper spray and the dog bite and this is how it all comes into play.

1. The closet: Amaya says she was sent into Jenner’s walk-in wonderland closet with an access code, which is how she ended up locked inside her own inescapable escape closet for more than an hour. She claims she called Dooley in a panic, and that Dooley laughed and told her that nobody was home to let her out.

2. The pepper spray: On September 4, 2025, she says an unsecured canister went off in her face while she was organising a laundry room drawer. She alleges blurry vision, burning and a “sand-like” feeling in her eyes. Not exactly the type of deep cleaning she signed up for.

3. The dog bite: On October 28, 2025, she says a dog bit her while she was sent to clean a doghouse. Sources describe it as one of Jenner’s dogs, while some also noted that the complaint doesn’t name the owner. Her takeaway, per the complaint, was that she got no meaningful help for any of it.

Unpaid Overtime and a Firing: The Pay Claims Behind the Drama

Strip away the closet sequence, and then you’ll see that the lawsuit is largely about money and what happened after Amaya asked for what she rightfully deserves. Amaya said that she was paid $40 an hour, even when working beyond eight hours a day, with no overtime until May 2025. She says she complained to HR, got no solution or help at first, and it was only until later that some overtime and meal-break pay was added to her payroll. Better late than never, as they say.

She also claims she wasn’t paid for mileage or travel time between properties. According to her, she was fired in February 2026, which was set in motion due to her ask of mileage in late January. Her filing goes on to allege that her helper was removed, her workload got heavier, and she was told to stay out of Jenner’s sight. She claims that it was all a not-so-subtle nudge toward the exit.

Kylie Jenner’s Lawyer Fires Back: “Unwarranted Payday”

In the red corner, Jenner’s attorney, Michael Rhodes, says all four cases come from the same lawyer, who he claims is chasing publicity to extract an “unwarranted payday.” He also went on to add that Jenner won’t be intimidated and will fight these what he calls “meritless” claims.

In the blue corner, attorney Della Shaker, who represents all four women, fired back: “We came prepared with evidence, not publicity stunts.” She said that this case raises a bigger question: how many domestic workers stay quiet because their wealthy employers seem too powerful to challenge? Both sides are talking tough, but the courtroom is where it gets settled.

Kylie Jenner Lawsuit Timeline: All Four Cases, One Lawyer

From a mocked accent to a Palm Springs birthday party that led to a loss of a life, here’s the full list of lawsuits that have been filed against Jenner in the past 7 months.

• April 17: Housekeeper Angelica Hernandez Vasquez alleged harassment and discrimination tied to her Salvadoran background, Catholic faith and immigration status. She claims she was mocked for her accent.

• April 29: Housekeeper Juana Delgado Soto alleged discrimination, harassment and retaliation. She claims she was forbidden from looking at or smiling at Jenner, and had to hide in a bathroom or garage when Jenner was home. Both sides attended mediation in October, and a new response deadline of November 20, 2026 was requested.

• June 22: A private chef suing as Jane Doe alleged pregnancy discrimination and wrongful termination. She says she miscarried after working a family birthday party in Palm Springs. Jenner’s team wants her identity revealed, with a hearing set for January 28, 2027.

• November 5: Amaya’s lawsuit.

All of these are allegations, and none have been proven in court. But the legal system isn’t the only jury Jenner faces. With four lawsuits in seven months, the court of public opinion is watching closely too.
