Alleged Workplace Abuse at Jenner’s Hidden Hills Residence
On April 17 2026, Angelica Vazquez filed a civil complaint in Los Angeles County Superior Court against Kylie Jenner, the reality-TV star and cosmetics entrepreneur, and two household-staffing firms, Tri Star Services LLC and La Maison Family Services LLC. The filing alleges that while employed as a housekeeper from September 10 2024 to August 2025, Vazquez experienced “hostility and exclusion,” pervasive harassment, and multiple violations of California wage-and-hour law at Jenner’s Beverly Hills and Hidden Hills properties.
Background and Household Staffing Structure
Jenner’s domestic staff are contracted through Tri Star Services and La Maison Family Services. According to the complaint, Vazquez reported to a senior housekeeper named Patsy and a supervisor identified as Elsi. The suit also names “Does 1 through 25” as additional, unnamed defendants, indicating a broader network of household employees and contractors.
Key Figures and Entities
- Angelica Vazquez – former junior housekeeper, Salvadoran, practicing Catholic.
- Kylie Jenner – defendant, listed as an individual and as Kylie Jenner, Inc.
- Tri Star Services LLC – staffing agency contracted for household labor.
- La Maison Family Services LLC – additional staffing firm.

Timeline of Alleged Incidents
- Sept 10 2024 – Vazquez begins employment at Jenner’s Beverly Hills home.
- Sept 17 2024 – Reassigned to Hidden Hills estate.
- Nov 2024 – First documented internal complaint of harassment.
- Mar 2025 – Incident described as “violent”: a supervisor allegedly threw hangers at Vazquez’s feet while reprimanding her.
- July 2025 – Vazquez takes medical leave citing anxiety and PTSD-like symptoms.
- Aug 2025 – Resignation citing intolerable working conditions.
- Apr 17 2026 – Lawsuit filed, seeking a jury trial.
Claims and Damages Sought
The complaint lists unpaid wages, overtime, meal- and rest-period premium pay, unreimbursed business expenses, unpaid sick leave, and punitive damages. Vazquez also seeks compensation for “emotional distress; anxiety and PTSD symptoms; loss of wages,” and alleges retaliation and discrimination based on race, national origin, and religion.
Official Statements and Responses
Jenner’s public-relations representative declined to comment when approached by media outlets. Tri Star Services did not provide an immediate response. Sources close to Jenner described Vazquez as a junior employee with attendance issues, suggesting alternative explanations for the termination.
Criticism and Opposition
The same sources contend that the allegations focus on interpersonal conflicts rather than systemic abuse, and they emphasize the lack of direct accusations against Jenner herself in the filing.
Conflicting Reports and Gaps
The plaintiff’s surname appears as both “Vazquez” and “Vasquez” across sources. The complaint does not name individual staff members beyond Patsy and Elsi, leaving many alleged perpetrators unspecified. No court ruling has been issued, and independent verification of the alleged wage violations is absent.
