April 23, 2026 – Reality TV star and beauty mogul Kylie Jenner is facing a lawsuit filed by her former housekeeper, who alleges she endured a hostile function environment marked by discrimination and harassment during her nearly year-long employment. According to court documents obtained by multiple outlets, Angelica Hernandez Vasquez worked at Jenner’s Hidden Hills residence from September 2024 to August 2025. In her lawsuit, filed April 17 against Jenner and the staffing agencies that employed her, Vasquez claims she was subjected to “severe and pervasive harassment” from day one. Vasquez, who identifies as a Salvadoran woman and practicing Catholic, states she was routinely excluded from the housekeeping team and assigned the most undesirable tasks. She alleges that supervisors — identified in court filings only as Patsy and Elsi — treated her with hostility, snapped their fingers at her, and mocked her accent. The suit further claims Vasquez endured demeaning remarks about her national origin, immigration status, and religion, including insinuations that coworkers from similar backgrounds had been deported and boasts about U.S. Citizenship intended to belittle her as a work authorization holder. Vasquez says the mistreatment contributed to post-traumatic stress disorder and created an intolerable workplace atmosphere. She is seeking damages for emotional distress, lost wages, and other harms resulting from the alleged discrimination, and retaliation. Jenner has not publicly responded to the lawsuit. Still, shortly after news of the filing emerged, she posted a series of casual Instagram photos showing her posing with her Birkin bag collection in a bra and low-waisted pants, captioned: “can’t a girl have fun.” The case adds to ongoing scrutiny of workplace conditions in high-profile celebrity households and highlights broader concerns about fair treatment of domestic workers, particularly those from immigrant backgrounds. As of now, no official statement has been issued by Jenner’s representatives or the named agencies. The lawsuit remains active in Los Angeles County Superior Court.
