A former private chef sued Kylie Jenner in Los Angeles, alleging heavy work during pregnancy caused her miscarriage after supervisors denied reasonable accommodations.
The lawsuit, filed Monday in Los Angeles Superior Court, says the chef worked 11- to 12-hour shifts five days a week after joining Jenner’s household in November 2024.
The chef, whose name has not been made public, says she disclosed her pregnancy in December 2024. She was three months pregnant at the time and requested changes to her duties.
The complaint says supervisors still gave her physically demanding tasks. It cites a New Year’s Eve 2024 incident in which she allegedly had to lift and carry heavy food items across a street and up an incline without help.
The chef says she became dizzy, choked and gasped for air during the task. Security personnel then gave her water and assistance, according to the court documents.
The lawsuit also cites a children’s birthday event in Palm Springs around February 1. The chef says managers ignored her requests for support during the event.
The complaint says she broke down in a bathroom because of exhaustion and physical strain. It says she began bleeding the next morning heavily and went to the hospital.
Doctors told her there was no detectable heartbeat and that she had lost the baby, according to the lawsuit.
The chef says supervisors later accused her of leaving the kitchen and refrigerator in disarray after the Palm Springs event. She also alleges a supervisor told her to stop discussing her condition because it was upsetting Jenner.
The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages. It alleges pregnancy discrimination, harassment, wrongful termination, wage violations, misclassification as an independent contractor and failure to provide proper workplace accommodations.
