Kylie Jenner Faces Lawsuit Over Chef’s Miscarriage Allegations
6/26/2026, 2:14:48 AM
Alleged Miscarriage Linked to Workload
A Los Angeles Superior Court complaint filed in June 2026 alleges that an unnamed former private chef for Kylie Jenner suffered a miscarriage after enduring “exhaustion and overwhelming physical strain” while working 11- to 12-hour shifts, five days a week. The chef says she disclosed a three-month pregnancy in December 2024 and requested reasonable accommodations, but was ordered to lift heavy food items across a street and uphill on New Year’s Eve 2024. She reports dizziness, choking, and the need for security assistance. In early February 2025 she was assigned to Jenner’s child’s birthday party in Palm Springs, experienced an emotional breakdown, and the following morning suffered severe hemorrhaging that doctors confirmed as a loss of the unborn child. The complaint also cites wrongful termination, wage violations, and improper classification as an independent contractor. The chef seeks unspecified damages; the management firm Tri Star is named as a co-defendant.
Background: Prior Employee Lawsuits
The chef’s suit is the third employee-related case against Jenner in less than two months. In April 2025, former housekeeper Angelica Hernandez Vasquez filed a lawsuit alleging a hostile, abusive environment from September 2024 to August 2025. A separate complaint by Juana Delgado Soto claims racial discrimination, harassment, and wage violations.
