LOS ANGELES — Kylie Jenner has been named as a defendant in a third workplace-related lawsuit in Los Angeles County Superior Court, where a former private chef alleges that grueling work conditions during a high-risk pregnancy led to a miscarriage. The civil complaint, filed on June 22, 2026, names Jenner, several household supervisors and associated business entities, and accuses them of imposing excessive hours, demanding strenuous physical labor and failing to provide legally required pregnancy accommodations. According to court documents, the plaintiff began working as Jenner’s private chef around Thanksgiving in November 2024 and, in early December 2024, notified supervisors that she was three months pregnant and that doctors had classified the pregnancy as high-risk. LOS ANGELES — The lawsuit states that the chef explicitly requested reasonable accommodations to protect her health and the safety of the pregnancy but alleges that supervisors repeatedly ignored or responded with hostility to those requests. On New Year’s Eve in December 2024, supervisors allegedly ordered her to carry heavy food items across a street and uphill without assistance, after which she experienced severe dizziness, gasping for air and choking until security staff intervened with water and medical aid. The complaint describes this and another major incident, around February 1, 2025, as part of a broader pattern of unsafe workplace practices and inadequate responses to her medical needs during her employment in Jenner’s household.
