Overview
- The suit, filed June 22, 2026, alleges the unnamed chef worked 11- to 12-hour days and was denied reasonable accommodations after notifying supervisors in December 2024 that she had a high-risk pregnancy.
- The complaint ties two specific incidents to the medical emergency it says led to a February 2025 miscarriage: a New Year’s Eve 2024 assignment to carry heavy food that left her dizzy and short of breath, and a Feb. 1, 2025 Palm Springs birthday event where she says she received no added support and later experienced severe hemorrhaging.
- Beyond the miscarriage allegation, the filing brings more than two dozen claims including pregnancy discrimination, failure to provide accommodations, wrongful termination, wage-and-hour violations and improper classification as an independent contractor.
- The suit names Jenner and management firm Tri Star as defendants and says Tri Star emailed a settlement-and-release proposal on May 22, 2025 that would have barred future claims if signed.
- The complaint is the third employment-related lawsuit against Jenner this year and could increase legal and public scrutiny of how celebrity households handle staffing, accommodations for pregnant workers, and California wage-and-hour rules.
