A former employee of Kylie Jenner claimed she was trapped inside the reality star’s closet for more than an hour while suffering a panic attack — and that her supervisor laughed at her desperate pleas for help.

supervisor → claim → help
The shocking allegations were among several made by former housekeeper Dinora Carolina Cabria Amaya in a lawsuit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on Nov. 5 against the makeup mogul and members of her household staff.
asserted
allegations → make → staff
According to court documents obtained by Page Six, the employee claimed she was instructed by a supervisor, identified in the lawsuit as Laura Dooley, to enter Jenner’s closet and was given a passcode to access the room.
However, Amaya alleged she became locked inside and was unable to get out.

The housekeeper claimed she immediately called Dooley, explaining that she was trapped and experiencing a panic attack.

Instead of helping, Dooley allegedly “laughed and mocked” her.
uncertain
Dooley → help → her
“No one is at the house that can let you out and I cannot give the password to anyone else, you just have to wait,” Dooley allegedly told her, according to the lawsuit.
uncertain
Dooley → let → lawsuit
Amaya claimed she was forced to remain inside the closet for more than an hour before someone finally released her.
asserted
someone → claim → her
She alleged the ordeal left her suffering from “substantial fear, anxiety, humiliation, and emotional distress.”
In another disturbing allegation, the housekeeper claimed she was repeatedly instructed to leave Jenner’s residence or remain confined to a room because “The Kardashians” star did not want to see her.
The lawsuit also detailed a separate incident in which Amaya claimed an unsecured canister of pepper spray discharged directly into her eyes and face while she was working at Jenner’s home.
asserted
she → allege → home
In Sept. 2025, the employee alleged she was cleaning and organizing a laundry room drawer when the canister discharged.
asserted
canister → allege → drawer
Amaya claimed she immediately experienced severe burning and vision problems and alerted Dooley by text.
asserted
she → claim → text
“Sorry to interrupt you, I had an accident at work, someone left pepper spray and took off safety,” she wrote, according to messages cited in the complaint.
uncertain
she → interrupt → complaint
Dooley allegedly responded, “Thanks for letting us know.”
uncertain
us → respond → ?
When Amaya returned to work on Sept. 6, she claimed she discovered incident report paperwork had been left for her in the laundry room, with instructions to complete it and turn it over to security.
asserted
paperwork → return → security
Still suffering from the effects of the pepper spray, the housekeeper allegedly sent another message asking for medical attention.
uncertain
housekeeper → suffer → attention
“Sorry but I have had a headache since Thursday and discomfort in my eyes, can I go to doctor?” she wrote.
asserted
she → have → doctor
According to the lawsuit, Amaya continued experiencing “blurry vision, burning, itching, dryness, irritation, and a constant sand-like sensation in her eyes.”
uncertain
Amaya → accord → eyes
She claimed she repeatedly informed her supervisors about her symptoms but alleged that the more she complained about her injuries, the harder they made her job.
asserted
they → claim → injuries
The housekeeper further alleged that her employers removed another employee who had been helping her, leaving her to complete physically demanding tasks alone.
asserted
who → allege → tasks
She claimed she was forced to lift heavy items, including mattresses, despite her ongoing pain and requests for assistance.
asserted
she → claim → assistance
The allegations came after Page Six reported Tuesday that Jenner had been hit with her fourth employee lawsuit in just seven months.
asserted
Jenner → come → months
Amaya, who claimed she began working as a housekeeper in March 2025, alleged she was wrongfully terminated on Feb. 6, 2026, after repeatedly complaining about her injuries, working conditions and unpaid wages.
asserted
she → claim → injuries
Her lawsuit included claims of disability discrimination, retaliation, wrongful termination and false imprisonment, among other allegations.
uncertain
lawsuit → include → allegations
Her attorney, Della Shaker, told Page Six in a statement that the allegations raise broader concerns about the treatment of domestic workers employed by wealthy individuals.
asserted
allegations → tell → individuals
“This case raises a larger question: how many domestic workers are afraid to report unlawful treatment because they believe their employers are too powerful to challenge?” Shaker said.
asserted
Shaker → raise → treatment
“The truth should never be buried behind wealth, fear, or silence,” she added.
asserted
she → bury → wealth
“No one should fear speaking the truth.”
asserted
one → fear → truth
Jenner’s legal representative, Michael Rhodes, told Page Six in a statement, “These latest cases are being brought by the same lawyer who previously filed claims on behalf of Kylie’s former household staff.
uncertain
who → tell → staff
It’s clear that this lawyer wants to use publicity to try and extract an unwarranted payday.
asserted
lawyer → ’ → payday
“We’re not going to be intimidated into doing that.
asserted
We → go → that
As such, we’ll defend these meritless cases vigorously and look forward to telling our side of the story,” Rhodes said.
asserted
Rhodes → defend → story
In response to Rhodes’ statement, Shaker told Page Six exclusively, “Mr. Rhodes has not been counsel of record in our first three cases, and I have never dealt with him throughout this litigation.
asserted
I → tell → litigation
I have no information indicating he represents the defendants in the fourth case.
asserted
he → have → case
“Yet he has plenty to say about me.
asserted
he → have → me
Perhaps his attention would be better directed toward the allegations and while others may be concerned with protecting famous names, my concern is protecting the people who worked for them.
uncertain
who → direct → them
We are here to protect rights, not reputations.
asserted
We → protect → rights
And we will not back down,” Shaker said.
asserted
Shaker → back → ?
The allegations against Jenner and her associates have not been proven in court.

allegations → prove → court
As previously reported, Jenner is also facing three other lawsuits by former household employees since April.

Jenner → report → April
On April 17, former housekeeper Angelica Hernandez Vasquez accused Jenner and her companies of discrimination, harassment and retaliation, claiming she was mistreated because of her Salvadoran background and Catholic faith.

Less than two weeks after Vasquez filed her lawsuit, another former housekeeper, Juana Delgado Soto, filed a lawsuit alleging she was told not to look at or smile at Jenner and was forced to hide in a bathroom or garage to avoid being seen by Jenner.
