Kylie Jenner is fighting to expose the identity of her former private chef, who claims she suffered a devastating miscarriage after being mistreated while working for the reality star.
The Kylie Cosmetics founder’s attorneys are asking a Los Angeles judge to force the woman, who sued Jenner anonymously as Jane Doe in June, to reveal her real name in public court records, according to documents obtained by Page Six.
In an Oct. 23 filing, the makeup mogul’s legal team argued that the chef’s pregnancy-related allegations do not justify allowing her to remain anonymous and asked the court to order her to file an amended complaint identifying herself by name.
“Plaintiff’s pregnancy allegations do not satisfy the high bar to proceed anonymously,” Jenner’s attorneys wrote in the filing.
The “Kardashians” star’s lawyers argued that the chef waited too long to seek permission to remain anonymous and that her concerns about exposing her private medical history could be addressed through other legal protections.
They also accused her of seeking publicity by filing the lawsuit in court rather than pursuing what they described as a confidential arbitration agreement.
“Rather than avoid the limelight, Plaintiff affirmatively sought it out by suing in court and then fanned the flames of publicity by making statements to the media,” the attorneys argued.
“Plaintiff cannot have it both ways.”
The legal battle came after the chef accused Jenner, her company and several other defendants of pregnancy discrimination, harassment, retaliation and wrongful termination in a bombshell lawsuit filed June 22.
The woman claimed she suffered a miscarriage in February 2025 after being forced to work long hours and perform physically demanding tasks despite informing her supervisors that she had a high-risk pregnancy. Jenner’s legal team denied the reality star employed the chef.
In a sworn declaration filed Oct. 16, the chef pleaded with the court to allow her to continue using Jane Doe, arguing that publicly linking her name to the deeply personal details of her pregnancy loss would cause further emotional harm.
“These are among the most private and painful experiences of my life,” she wrote, adding that she had shared the details only with close family, medical providers and her attorney.
She also expressed fears that having her name attached to the lawsuit would jeopardize her career in the private culinary and hospitality industry, where she said reputation, discretion and personal referrals are essential.
The chef argued that her former employers already know her identity and that keeping her name out of public records would not prevent them from defending themselves.
“The only information withheld from the public record is my legal name,” she stated.
The dispute is now headed back to court.
According to the Los Angeles Superior Court docket reviewed by Page Six, a hearing concerning the chef’s use of Jane Doe is scheduled for Jan. 28, 2027.
A representative for Jenner did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
The chef’s original lawsuit detailed a series of alleged incidents leading up to her miscarriage.
She claimed she informed her supervisors in December 2024 that she was approximately three months pregnant and “required reasonable accommodations to protect her health and pregnancy.”
Despite those warnings, she alleged she continued to be assigned demanding shifts, including work at a birthday celebration for one of Jenner’s children in Palm Springs on Feb. 1, 2025.
“Due to exhaustion and overwhelming physical strain, [she] broke down emotionally in the bathroom during the event,” the suit read. “That evening, [she] experienced extreme physical exhaustion and heaviness throughout her body as a result of the prolonged and intense workload.”
By the next morning, she began experiencing severe blood loss and quickly made her way to a nearby hospital where she was “informed that there was no detectable heartbeat and that she had lost her unborn child.”
She alleged she remained alone at the hospital for more than nine hours following the devastating news.
Days after she informed her bosses of the miscarriage, the woman was “falsely accused of leaving the kitchen and refrigerator in disarray following the Palm Springs event.”
She began experiencing more intense hemorrhaging on Feb. 8, 2025, and later developed severe depression and emotional distress as a result of the pregnancy loss, the documents state.
But, she claimed she was later reprimanded by one of her supervisors who told her, “Stop it, just stop it. You are upsetting Kylie. You are making her depressed.”
The woman further claimed she was subjected to hostility after returning to work and was eventually fired, according to the suit.
In their court filing opposing her anonymity, Jenner’s attorneys disputed the chef’s claim that the reality star was her employer, describing her allegations of joint employment as unfounded.
The chef is seeking damages in an amount to be determined at trial.
As previously reported, Jenner is also facing three other lawsuits by former household employees since April.
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.
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.
On Nov. 5, former housekeeper Dinora Carolina Cabria Amaya became the fourth household employee in seven months to sue Jenner. Amaya claimed she was trapped inside a closet at the entrepreneur’s home for more than an hour, exposed to pepper spray and bitten by a dog. She also accused Jenner and other defendants of workplace mistreatment and wrongful termination.
Jenner has not publicly commented on the allegations.
Amaya’s attorney, Della Shaker, told Page Six in a statement that the allegations in the latest suit raise broader concerns about the treatment of domestic workers employed by wealthy 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.
“The truth should never be buried behind wealth, fear, or silence,” she added. “No one should fear speaking the 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. It’s clear that this lawyer wants to use publicity to try and extract an unwarranted payday.
“We’re not going to be intimidated into doing that. As such, we’ll defend these meritless cases vigorously and look forward to telling our side of the story,” Rhodes said.
The allegations in the lawsuits have not been proven in court.
