Kylie Jenner's housekeeper alleges she was locked in closet, bitten by dog; lawsuit filed

Detailed summary

A former housekeeper has accused Kylie Jenner, her company and two staff members of workplace mistreatment, including being trapped in a closet.

Kylie Jenner's former housekeeper has accused the reality television star and cosmetics mogul of workplace mistreatment.

The housekeeper alleged she was locked inside a closet for more than an hour, bitten by a dog and injured by pepper spray while working at Jenner's California residences.

The allegations were made in a lawsuit filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court on November 5.

Dinora Carolina Cabria Amaya, who worked at several of Jenner's properties from March 2025 until February, when she was fired, has accused Jenner, her company and two staff members of disability discrimination, retaliation, wrongful termination and multiple labour violations, according to the complaint cited by NBC News.

The lawsuit marks the fourth filed against Jenner by members of her household staff in the past seven months.

Amaya alleged that on an unspecified date, a staff member instructed her to enter Jenner's closet and provided an access code. However, she became locked inside and was unable to get out, the complaint said.

When Amaya called Laura Dooley, one of the staff members named in the lawsuit, for assistance, Dooley allegedly laughed at her and refused to provide the information needed to release her. Amaya said she suffered a panic attack and remained trapped for more than an hour.

The complaint also describes a September 4, 2025, incident in which an unsecured canister of pepper spray discharged into Amaya's eyes and face while she was cleaning and organising a drawer in a laundry room.
