Work Conditions And Pregnancy Claims
The former employee states that she worked for enner from November 2024 to March 2025, often performing long, physically intense shifts of up to 11–12 hours, five days a week. She alleges that after informing supervisors in December 2024 that she was three months pregnant, she requested adjustments to protect her health.
Instead, the lawsuit claims she continued to be assigned heavy duties and high-pressure responsibilities without support.
One of the key allegations in the filing describes an incident on New Year’s Eve 2024, when she was reportedly instructed to carry heavy food items across a street and up a slope without assistance. She claims the exertion left her feeling faint, short of breath, and requiring help from security staff, who provided water and assistance.
Palm Springs Event And Health Crisis
The complaint further alleges that in early February 2025, while about five months pregnant, she worked at a child’s birthday celebration in Palm Springs with insufficient support staff.
She claims her requests for help were ignored, leading to extreme exhaustion. The filing states she later experienced emotional distress in a bathroom during the event due to physical strain.
According to the lawsuit, she woke the next morning suffering severe haemorrhaging and drove herself to hospital, where doctors reportedly confirmed there was no detectable heartbeat and that she had lost the pregnancy.
The chef claims she informed supervisors about the miscarriage but was later accused of leaving the kitchen in poor condition after the event.
She also alleges further emotional distress and another episode of severe haemorrhaging later in February 2025. In addition, the complaint states a supervisor told her to stop crying because it was upsetting Jenner.
Legal Claims And Compensation Sought
The lawsuit includes allegations of pregnancy discrimination, failure to provide workplace accommodations, harassment, wringful termination, wage violation, and misclassification as an independent contractor. The former employee is seeking unspecified damages, including back pay, lost wages, benefits, and legal costs, along with a jury trial.
She also claims she was not paid fully or on time for the hours worked and later filed a formal complaint with co-defendant Tri Star outlining alleged misconduct.
As of now, Kylie Jenner has not publicly responded to the any of the allegations.
