Kylie Jenner’s ex-chef claims Palm Springs party, grueling workloads led to miscarriage in new lawsuit

Kylie Jenner has been hit with yet another employee lawsuit after her former private chef claimed she miscarried following months of grueling work during a high-risk pregnancy.

The lawsuit, filed Monday in Los Angeles Superior Court, alleges the chef routinely worked 11 and 12 hour shifts, five days a week, and was denied reasonable accommodations after informing supervisors of her high-risk pregnancy, reported The Los Angeles Times.

According to the complaint, the chef was hired around Thanksgiving 2024 and told supervisors in early December that she was three months pregnant and required reasonable accommodations to protect her health and pregnancy.

Instead, she alleges she was repeatedly assigned physically demanding work.

On New Year’s Eve 2024, supervisors allegedly ordered her to “lift and transport heavy food items across the street and uphill without assistance.”

The lawsuit claims the work left her dizzy, choking and gasping for air until security stepped in to provide water and aid.

Around Feb. 1, 2025, while five months pregnant, she was assigned to work Jenner’s child’s birthday party in Palm Springs, where she says she received no additional support despite the scale and demands of the event.

When she voiced concerns about the workload and asked for help, she says supervisors ignored her.

“Due to exhaustion and overwhelming physical strain, [she] broke down emotionally in the bathroom during the event,” the lawsuit states. “That evening, [she] experienced extreme physical exhaustion and heaviness throughout her body as a result of the prolonged and intense workload.”

The complaint says she woke up the next morning in Palm Springs suffering severe hemorrhaging and drove herself to the emergency room, where doctors told her there was no detectable heartbeat and she had lost her unborn child.

She claims she informed supervisors of the miscarriage and medical emergency but was then falsely accused of leaving the kitchen and refrigerator in disarray following the Palm Springs event.

The lawsuit states she suffered another severe hemorrhage on Feb. 8 and collapsed in her bathroom before developing depression and emotional distress.

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

The chef is seeking unspecified damages, alleging pregnancy discrimination and harassment, failure to provide reasonable accommodations, wrongful termination, wage violations, and improper classification as an independent contractor. She also said she was not paid on time or for all the hours she worked.

According to the complaint, she later filed a formal written complaint with co-defendant Tri Star detailing the alleged discrimination, harassment, and wage theft.

The lawsuit says Tri Star’s management emailed her on May 22, 2025, offering a settlement and release agreement in exchange for giving up her right to sue.

“Celebrity status does not exempt anyone from California’s employment laws. We look forward to presenting the evidence in court and allowing the facts to speak for themselves,” attorney Della Shaker told the LA Times.

This marks the third lawsuit filed against Jenner in less than two months. The Post reached out to Jenner for comment.
