Kylie Jenner's Former Housekeeper Claims Dog Bite, Closet Lockup in Lawsuit
Kylie Jenner is facing a new lawsuit from a former housekeeper who claims she was bitten by a dog, hit in the face with pepper spray and locked in a closet for more than an hour while working at the star's California homes. It is the fourth lawsuit filed by a member of Jenner's household staff in about seven months.
Jenner's attorney has called the cases "meritless" and says the defense will fight them.
Who Filed the Lawsuit
Dinora Carolina Cabria Amaya filed the suit Nov. 5 in Los Angeles Superior Court against Jenner, her company and two staff members, Laura Dooley and Itzel Sibrian, according to NBC New York.
The suit includes claims of disability discrimination, retaliation, wrongful termination and "numerous labor violations."
Amaya worked at several of Jenner's California residences from March 2025 until she was fired in February 2026. She was paid $40 an hour and worked six days a week.
The Allegations
According to the lawsuit, Dooley allegedly told Amaya to go into a closet and gave her the passcode, but Amaya ended up locked inside. She claims Dooley laughed at her and refused to give her the information she needed to get out. Amaya says she had a panic attack and was trapped for more than an hour.
On Sept. 4, 2025, an unsecured canister of pepper spray allegedly went off into Amaya's eyes and face while she was cleaning a drawer in a laundry room. She says it caused burning and problems with her vision.
Then on Oct. 28, 2025, Amaya says she was bitten by a dog while cleaning its doghouse. The lawsuit does not say who owned the dog. She claims she reported the bite but received no meaningful help and treated it herself with over-the-counter medication, Global News reported.
Claims of Retaliation
After she complained about her injuries, Amaya alleges, staff removed co-workers who had been helping her, increased her workload, gave her heavier tasks and changed her schedule and work locations. The suit claims the defendants were trying to push her to quit.
Amaya says she was called into a meeting on Feb. 6, 2026, with a human resources representative and Dooley, where she was fired. She alleges the firing came after she asked for mileage pay and reported her work injuries.
She is seeking damages for lost earnings and benefits, emotional distress, humiliation and anxiety. No dollar amount has been reported.
Jenner's Side Responds
Jenner's attorney, Michael Rhodes, noted that all four cases are represented by the same lawyer. "It's clear that this lawyer wants to use publicity to try and extract an unwarranted payday," he told NBC News, adding that the defense would "defend these meritless cases vigorously."
Sibrian declined to comment. A woman who answered a phone number linked to Dooley hung up when asked about her employment.
Amaya's attorney, Della Shaker, said, "The truth should never be buried behind wealth, fear, or silence."
None of the allegations have been proven in court.
The Fourth Staff Lawsuit This Year
Amaya's case follows three other lawsuits from former Jenner employees, all represented by Shaker.
In April, Jenner was hit with two housekeeper lawsuits. One former housekeeper alleged she was mocked for her accent and treated as inferior because of her Salvadoran background and Catholic faith. Another alleged years of humiliation, discrimination and wage violations over more than six years on the job.
In June, a former private chef sued, claiming her heavy workload during a pregnancy led to a loss and that she was fired weeks after returning from medical leave.
Jenner has denied wrongdoing through her attorney, who has vowed to fight all four cases.
