Add The California Post on GoogleKylie 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.

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.

Badenoch blasts 'moaning' female Labour MPs over Burnham jobs 'quota'
Kemi Badenoch has told Labour women to earn a job in Andy Burnham's Cabinet instead of demanding they are handed jobs because of their gender.
The Tory leader lashed out today amid reports that female MPs are demanding the de-facto new prime minister introduce a 50:50 gender split 'quota' in his government.
Amid reports that former foreign secretary David Miliband is being lined up to return to the role, possibly with his brother Ed as Chancellor, one female minister also complained that Burnham could not have 'more Milibands than women' in the top posts.
But in a scathing article in the Times today Mrs Badenoch told them to 'stop moaning' and get chosen on merit instead of retreating into 'more of the failed identity politics that is holding back our country'.
'There are many, many reasons why you shouldn't have any Milibands in the cabinet,' she said.
'But complaining that the boys haven't given them the right jobs or that the boys are taking all the jobs, just shows that Labour's women still don't get it.'
The idea of quotas was also attacked by Baroness Jacqui Smith, Labour's Skills Minister.
Asked by Times Radio if Mr Burnham should reserve jobs for women, she said: 'No, I think what Andy Burnham should be doing is building the very best team around him to change this country.'
A letter written by the Women's Parliamentary Labour Party has called on Mr Burnham to ensure a 50:50 split between men and women in government jobs
Amid reports that former foreign secretary David Miliband (above, right, in 2010) is being lined up to return to the role, possibly with his brother Ed as Chancellor, one female minister complained that Burnham could not have 'more Milibands than women' in the top posts
But Mrs Badenoch told them to pipe down and get chosen on merit instead of retreating into 'more of the failed identity politics that is holding back our country'
A letter written by the Women's Parliamentary Labour Party and seen by the BBC has called on Mr Burnham to ensure a 50:50 split between men and women in government jobs after he succeeds Sir Keir Starmer.
'We are asking you to demonstrate this change from day one and address the toxicity and misogyny within our own party and government,' it said.
Labour has never had a female leader, while the Conservatives have had three, and Mrs Badenoch urged the government to follow its meritocratic example.
'If you run a meritocracy, then you do not have to worry about jobs for the boys,' she wrote.
'Every woman who is a Conservative MP, every woman who has ever won the leadership, has had to fight to get where she is.
'By contrast, Labour women are demanding guarantees from Burnham. But the truth is he doesn't have to give any guarantees.
'If none of Labour's women are prepared to get their hands dirty and challenge him for the leadership, their demands are toothless.'
'In fact, it's quite revealing that the women's parliamentary Labour Party has written to Burnham asking him to commit himself to at least 50 per cent female ministers.
'This has nothing to do with meritocracy. It is yet more of the failed identity politics that is holding back our country.'
