Kylie Jenner faces a second lawsuit from Juana Delgado Soto, a former housekeeper, alleging severe harassment and racial discrimination. The lawsuit, filed on April 29, 2026, in Hidden Hills, California, comes just days after another former employee made similar claims.
Delgado Soto began working for Jenner in May 2019. In her lawsuit, she outlines multiple allegations including abusive treatment from supervisors and colleagues. Notably, she claims that her supervisor mocked her accent and immigration status—an indication of the toxic environment she endured.
In total, the lawsuit includes 20 causes of action against Jenner and her affiliated companies. Soto asserts that she was denied adequate time off to grieve the death of her brother and was forced to work late on her birthday instead of attending a surprise party planned for her. Such instances raise questions about the treatment of employees in high-profile households.
Her complaints were not isolated; they followed a similar lawsuit filed by Angelica Vasquez, another former housekeeper for Jenner. This pattern suggests systemic issues within Jenner’s employment practices. Soto’s situation deteriorated further when she filed a complaint with Human Resources in 2024 regarding her treatment but alleges that this led to retaliation.
The allegations are serious: Soto claims she was threatened with termination after detailing her grievances in a letter to Jenner. Her attorney, Della Shaker, stated, “My client alleges multiple employment [and] labor law violations by Kylie Jenner and her affiliated companies.” Such statements highlight the potential legal ramifications for celebrity employers.
In the past few years, incidents of celebrity harassment claims have gained significant attention. As public figures like Jenner find themselves under scrutiny, these lawsuits may serve as catalysts for broader discussions about workplace rights and protections—especially for those in vulnerable positions.
The next steps in this legal battle remain unclear as both sides prepare for what could be a lengthy process. As more information emerges, it will be interesting to see how this impacts public perception of Jenner and the responsibilities of employers toward their staff.
