Angélica Vásquez, a former domestic worker, has filed a high-profile lawsuit against Kylie Jenner, accusing the reality star and her team of serious discrimination and maintaining a hostile work environment at Jenner’s California residence.
The case has sparked widespread discussion about labor conditions in celebrity households and the treatment of immigrant domestic staff.
The lawsuit was filed on April 17, 2026, in Los Angeles, naming Jenner, Kylie Jenner Inc., Tri Star Services, and Maison Family Services as defendants.
Vásquez worked through these staffing agencies and claims the environment at the Hidden Hills mansion became intolerable due to repeated mistreatment.
Vásquez worked as a housekeeper at the Hidden Hills mansion from September 2024 to August 2025, a nearly year-long tenure marked by alleged mistreatment.
She describes entering the job with high hopes only to face immediate challenges that escalated over time.
According to court filings, Vásquez was treated with hostility and exclusion starting from her first day on the job by supervisors and other staff.
This created a pattern of isolation that made daily work increasingly difficult.
The Salvadoran woman and practicing Catholic claims she was subjected to severe and pervasive harassment based on her race, national origin, religion, and immigration status.
Supervisors allegedly reinforced these biases through daily interactions and task assignments.
She was reportedly assigned the most difficult and unsavory cleaning tasks while being excluded from the rest of the housekeeping team and social interactions.
Colleagues reportedly avoided her, deepening her sense of alienation in the workplace.
Vásquez alleges she was publicly belittled and humiliated in front of coworkers, with her accent mocked and derogatory comments made about her background and faith.
Such incidents reportedly occurred repeatedly, contributing to a toxic atmosphere.
Supervisors, identified in the suit as head housekeeper Patsy and another named Elsi, are accused of enabling this discriminatory environment.
One alleged episode involved a supervisor throwing hangers in frustration during a confrontation.
In addition to emotional distress claims, the former worker is seeking damages for unpaid wages, missed meal and rest periods, unreimbursed business expenses, and other labor violations, including travel to additional properties.
Vásquez also reported symptoms of anxiety and stress that required medical leave.
Vásquez reportedly wrote a letter to Jenner in 2025 detailing the abuses in an effort to seek resolution, but conditions did not improve leading to her resignation.
The filing highlights how ignored complaints worsened the situation over months.
This lawsuit highlights ongoing concerns about worker protections in the homes of the wealthy and famous, as Vásquez fights for justice against what she describes as intolerable conditions.
Kylie Jenner’s team has yet to comment publicly on the specific allegations, leaving the case to unfold in court.
