Kylie Jenner is seeking to make the name of a former staffer who filed a lawsuit against her in 2026 alleging that overly strenuous working conditions and lack of accommodations caused her to suffer a miscarriage during her employment in 2025.
According to public documents, the chef says on New Year’s Eve 2024, when she was around 3 months pregnant, she was required to “lift and transport heavy food items across the street and uphill without assistance,” which left her suffering from several symptoms including dizziness and shortness of breath, which led to her receiving assistance from security.
Then in February, at 5 months pregnant, she says she was given more physically demanding tasks, and that her requests for help with the workload were ignored. After suffering a breakdown during the party she was working “due to exhaustion and overwhelming physical strain,” she says she “awoke to severe hemorrhaging and drove herself from the Palm Springs location to the hospital, where she was told the baby had died.” When she informed her supervisors of what happened, she says she was shown no sympathy and instead, was falsely accused of “leaving the kitchen and refrigerator in disarray.”
Kylie is a reality star turned social media mega influencer and businesswoman who rose to fame alongside her older sisters Kim, Kourtney, and Khloe Kardashian on their family reality show “Keeping Up With the Kardashians,” which premiered in 2007. Kylie has also dabbled in modeling, scoring perhaps her highest profile gig in October 2026 when she was selected to wear the Fantasy Bra while walking for the first time in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.
Kylie Knows the Name of the Chef Who Is Suing Her, But the Public Does Not
The name of the worker, a private chef, is known to Kylie and her team, but is currently shielded from public exposure, as she was allowed to file her suit under the name “Jane Doe.”
Page Six says they obtained documents that show Kylie’s legal team asking a Los Angeles judge to require the woman to reveal her name in public court records, arguing the allegations do not justify a Jane Doe suit and that she should be required to file an amended complaint identifying herself by name.
On their website, the Bay Area firm Danko Meredith Trial Lawyers explains that some cases in California fall under a law that automatically grants anonymity to the plaintiff. Those include allegations of revenge porn, hate crimes, and cases where the plaintiff is a minor.
Other cases can still be considered for Jane Doe status at the court’s discretion, the firm says. “The more personal the issue—and the more harm public exposure could cause—the stronger your case for filing anonymously,” they explain.
“Plaintiff’s pregnancy allegations do not satisfy the high bar to proceed anonymously,” Page Six says Kylie’s lawyers argued in their filings.
Attorney for the Chef Gives a Statement
Page Six says the chef’s attorney gave them the following statement:
Kylie Jenner already knows the identity of Jane Doe. The question is why she believes the public needs to know it, too. My client has already endured the devastating loss of her unborn child and has courageously come forward to seek justice. Now, instead of addressing the serious allegations against her, Ms. Jenner is seeking to expose my client’s identity to millions of people. What legitimate purpose does publicly identifying a woman who suffered such a devastating loss serve, other than to subject her to further scrutiny, humiliation, and pressure? Is the objective justice, or is it to make the consequences of speaking out so unbearable that my client feels compelled to settle? Enough is enough.
