Kylie Jenner is facing renewed legal scrutiny as a second former domestic employee, Juana Delgado Soto, has filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court. The complaint, submitted on April 29, 2026, accuses the reality star and her team of racial discrimination, harassment, and failure to pay wages. Soto, who worked as a housekeeper at Jenner's Hidden Hills estate, alleges that her mistreatment escalated after a new supervisor was appointed in late 2023.

A Pattern of Alleged Abuse

According to the lawsuit, Soto began working for Jenner in May 2019. She claims that after Itzel Sibrian took over as personnel supervisor, she faced constant humiliations related to her race, accent, and immigration status. The complaint details painful incidents, including being denied time off to mourn her brother's death. Colleagues allegedly spread rumors that the tragedy was a lie to avoid work. Soto also says she was forced to perform degrading tasks, such as picking up trash that coworkers intentionally threw on the floor.

One of the most striking allegations involves Soto's attempt to reach Jenner directly. After receiving no response from human resources, she left a personal letter on the celebrity's massage table, hoping her employer would intervene. Instead, Soto claims she was threatened with termination the next day. New rules reportedly forbade her from looking at or smiling at Jenner, ordered her to 'disappear' if she saw her on the property, and even prohibited her from drinking water, with staff claiming the supply belonged exclusively to the star.

A United Legal Front

This lawsuit comes shortly after a similar case filed by Angelica Vasquez, another former housekeeper who described a hostile and racist work environment at the same property. Both women are represented by attorney Della Shaker, who is seeking to hold Jenner and her affiliated companies accountable for multiple labor law violations. Vasquez's lawsuit claims damages for symptoms consistent with post-traumatic stress disorder and unpaid wages, while Soto seeks punitive and compensatory damages after resigning in August 2025 due to severe anxiety.

Jenner's representatives have so far declined to comment in detail, stating that the businesswoman has not yet reviewed the new claims. The case has drawn attention to labor practices in high-profile households, particularly those employing immigrant workers from Latin America. For many in the Latino community, these allegations resonate with broader issues of workplace exploitation and discrimination. As the legal proceedings unfold, they may also spark conversations about the treatment of domestic workers across the United States.
