On April 29, 2026, Kylie Jenner was hit with a second lawsuit from her former housekeeper, Juana Delgado Soto, who alleges severe harassment and discrimination during her employment. This comes just days after another ex-employee, Angelica Vasquez, made similar claims against the reality star.
Soto began working for Jenner in May 2019 and claims that her experience was marred by abusive treatment from both supervisors and colleagues. In her lawsuit, she alleges racial discrimination and a failure to pay wages, along with other employment law violations. The allegations detail a toxic work environment where Soto felt threatened and belittled.
After filing a complaint with Human Resources in 2024 about her treatment, Soto asserts that the harassment only intensified. She describes incidents where her supervisor mocked her accent and immigration status—one particularly jarring moment involved being told she was no longer allowed to look at or smile at Kylie. It’s hard to imagine the emotional toll this took on her.
In addition to facing mockery, Soto claims she was pressured into working late on her birthday instead of attending a surprise party organized for her. The culmination of these experiences led to her resignation in August 2025 due to anxiety caused by the ongoing harassment.
Key allegations from the lawsuit:
- Soto claims she was subjected to abusive treatment by supervisors and colleagues.
- She alleges racial discrimination and was denied adequate time off to grieve her brother’s death.
- The lawsuit includes 20 causes of action against Jenner and her affiliated companies.
The legal landscape surrounding celebrity workplaces is complex, particularly with such high-profile figures involved. Della Shaker, Soto’s attorney, stated that “My client alleges multiple employment [and] labor law violations by Kylie Jenner and her affiliated companies.” This echoes the sentiments expressed by Vasquez, who also described a hostile work environment.
The response from Jenner’s camp has not been fully articulated yet, but as these cases unfold, they highlight significant issues within celebrity employment practices—where power dynamics can often lead to exploitation. The public continues to watch closely as more details emerge surrounding these troubling allegations.
