Kylie Jenner is facing a new legal challenge after a former housekeeper filed a lawsuit alleging workplace discrimination tied to her religion and national origin, just days after the reality star returned from a high-profile appearance at Coachella.

According to legal documents filed in Los Angeles, the plaintiff, identified as Angelica Vasquez, claims she endured a hostile work environment while employed within Jenner's household staff. The suit alleges repeated instances of harassment based on her Catholic faith and Salvadoran background, including derogatory remarks about her religion, comments related to immigration status, and mockery of her accent.

The complaint further describes what is characterized as a pattern of mistreatment, including being assigned disproportionately difficult tasks, public humiliation, and verbal abuse by supervisors. One alleged incident involved objects being thrown at her during a confrontation. Vasquez claims the environment caused significant emotional distress, including anxiety and trauma-related symptoms.

While Jenner is named in the lawsuit, the filing does not accuse her of personally making the alleged remarks. Instead, the case centers on claims that she failed to take appropriate action after concerns were raised about workplace conduct within her staff.

The plaintiff, who reportedly worked in the household from September 2024 to August 2025, is seeking damages that include unpaid wages, compensation for emotional distress, and punitive damages.

Sources close to Jenner's household have disputed aspects of the claims, suggesting the former employee had performance-related issues. As of now, Jenner and her representatives have not issued an official public statement addressing the lawsuit.

The case adds to a growing number of legal disputes involving high-profile employers and domestic staff, raising ongoing questions about workplace oversight, accountability, and protections within private households.

The matter remains under review, and the allegations have not been tested in court.
