Kylie Jenner sued by former chef who alleges miscarriage after ‘physically demanding’ work during pregnancy

This is the 3rd lawsuit filed against Jenner by a former employee in 2026, following separate claims by 2 housekeepers

Kylie Jenner is facing a lawsuit from a former personal chef who alleges that physically demanding working conditions during her high-risk pregnancy contributed to a miscarriage and that she later experienced discrimination, harassment and wrongful dismissal.

According to court documents filed in Los Angeles Superior Court and reported by the Los Angeles Times, the unnamed woman claims she worked as Jenner’s private chef from November 2024, regularly completing 11- to 12-hour shifts, five days a week.

The lawsuit alleges she informed her supervisors the following month that she was three months pregnant and “required reasonable accommodations to protect her health and pregnancy”.

The complaint alleges that on New Year’s Eve 2024 she was instructed to “lift and transport heavy food items across the street and uphill without assistance”. The chef claims the work caused her to become dizzy, choke and gasp for air before security staff intervened to help.

The lawsuit further alleges she was required to work at one of Jenner’s child’s birthday celebrations in Palm Springs in early February 2025 without adequate support. “Due to exhaustion and overwhelming physical strain, [she] broke down emotionally in the bathroom during the event,” the court filing states.

According to the complaint, the following morning she suffered severe blood loss and was informed at the hospital that “there was no detectable heartbeat and that she had lost her unborn child”.

The chef is seeking unspecified damages, alleging pregnancy discrimination, harassment, failure to provide reasonable accommodations, unpaid wages, misclassification as an independent contractor and wrongful termination.

She also claims a supervisor told her, “Stop it, just stop it. You are upsetting Kylie. You are making her depressed.”

This is the third lawsuit filed against Jenner by a former employee in 2026, following separate legal claims brought by two former housekeepers.
