Kylie Jenner Wants Court To Reveal Identity Of Former Chef In Pregnancy-Loss Lawsuit
American media personality Kylie Jenner’s lawyers are asking a Los Angeles court to force a former private chef suing her over alleged pregnancy discrimination and workplace mistreatment to reveal her identity.
The chef, who filed the lawsuit under the pseudonym Jane Doe on 22 June 2026, accuses Jenner and related entities of pregnancy discrimination, failure to accommodate her high-risk pregnancy, harassment, retaliation and wrongful termination.
According to the complaint, she worked for Jenner from November 2024 to March 2025. She alleges that she was required to work long shifts and perform physically demanding tasks despite informing her supervisors that she was pregnant and needed accommodations.
The lawsuit centres on an alleged miscarriage in February 2025. The chef claims she was required to work at a family birthday event in Palm Springs while approximately five months pregnant. She alleges that she suffered severe bleeding the following morning and was later informed at hospital that she had lost the pregnancy.
She further claims she faced hostile treatment after disclosing the miscarriage and was eventually dismissed. The allegations remain unproven.
In a 23 October court filing, Jenner’s lawyers argued that the pregnancy-related allegations did not justify anonymity and that the chef could use other measures to protect her medical privacy. They also accused her of seeking publicity by filing the lawsuit publicly rather than pursuing confidential arbitration.
However, the chef’s attorney, Della Shaker, argued that Jenner’s legal team already knows her client’s identity and that publicly revealing it could cause further emotional distress and damage her career.
A hearing on the anonymity dispute is scheduled for 28 January 2027. It will not determine the merits of the lawsuit.
The case is among four workplace-related lawsuits brought by former household employees against Jenner this year. The latest was filed on 5 November by former housekeeper Dinora Carolina Cabria Amaya.
Jenner’s representatives have described the claims as meritless and said they will be vigorously defended. No judgment or settlement has been reported in the chef’s case.
