Lawsuit Overview
On April 29 2026 Juana Delgado Soto filed a complaint in Los Angeles County Superior Court against Kylie Jenner, Kylie Jenner Inc., staff supervisor Itzel Sibrian, and staffing firms Tri Star Services and La Maison Family Services. Soto, who began working for Jenner in May 2019, alleges wrongful termination, racial discrimination, harassment, retaliation, unpaid wages and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
Parties Involved
- Kylie Jenner – reality-TV star and Kylie Cosmetics founder.
- Juana Delgado Soto – plaintiff, former housekeeper (2019-2025).
- Itzel Sibrian – supervisor accused of racial harassment and retaliation.
- Patsy and Elsy – supervisors also named in Vasquez’s suit.
- Tri Star Services and La Maison Family Services – staffing agencies.
- Della Shaker – attorney for Soto and Vasquez.
Timeline & Key Numbers
Timeline: May 2019 – Soto hired. Late 2023 – Itzel Sibrian becomes her supervisor. 2024 – Soto files a HR complaint; Sibrian is temporarily removed. Late 2024 – Sibrian reinstated; hourly wage drops from $41.66 to $35, workloads increase. April 2025 – Soto leaves a letter on Jenner’s massage table. August 2025 – Soto resigns, citing anxiety and physical distress. April 29 2026 – Lawsuit filed, listing over 20 violations, including denied meal/rest breaks and withheld Fourth-of-July holiday pay.
Legal Significance
California law applies the same wage-hour, overtime and anti-discrimination rules to household staff as to corporate employees. If the claims succeed, Jenner and the staffing firms could face civil penalties, punitive damages and a precedent that private-home employers are liable under state labor statutes.
Responses
Jenner’s spokesperson said the star “has not yet seen the lawsuit.” Attorney Della Shaker highlighted the alleged labor-law breaches and the plaintiff’s request for punitive and compensatory damages.
Criticism & Opposition
Soto says she worked alone for periods, was denied bathroom access and water (“Kylie’s water”), forced to clean the doghouse, and barred from seeing Jenner. She reports being told on her birthday, “No one cares about your birthday. Kylie is having a dinner,” and being threatened with termination for refusing.
