What Is the Soto vs. Kylie Jenner Lawsuit About? Soto v. Jenner et al., Los Angeles County Superior Court (April 29, 2026)

Juana Delgado Soto filed this complaint in Los Angeles Superior Court, naming Jenner, staff supervisor Itzel Sibrian, Tri Star Services, and La Maison Family Services as defendants. The lawsuit alleges violations of California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), which prohibits harassment and discrimination based on race and national origin, along with California Labor Code provisions requiring proper wages, overtime pay, and meal and rest breaks.

According to the complaint, Soto began working for Jenner in 2019 and alleged that throughout her employment, defendants withheld legally required meal and rest breaks. She said things got significantly worse in 2023 when Sibrian became her direct supervisor. Soto alleged Sibrian frequently mocked her ethnicity, including laughing at her English, calling her stupid, and asking why she couldn’t speak properly.

The lawsuit also alleges wage violations, including a July 2023 incident where Soto did not receive holiday pay for working on the Fourth of July, and that she was similarly denied sick pay. The complaint includes 20 causes of action in total, according to reporting by TMZ and the Los Angeles Times. Kylie Jenner is not directly accused of personally harassing Soto — the legal theory rests on the employer’s alleged failure to stop harassment it knew or should have known about, and on the alleged retaliation Soto faced after she tried to report it.

Who Are Juana Delgado Soto and Kylie Jenner?

Juana Delgado Soto is a former housekeeper who, according to the complaint, worked at Kylie Jenner’s residence for approximately six years, beginning in May 2019. The lawsuit describes her as Hispanic and says she experienced escalating mistreatment tied to her race, national origin, and immigration status throughout her employment. Attorney Della Shaker represents Soto — the same attorney who filed the separate lawsuit on behalf of Angelica Vasquez against Jenner just one week earlier.

Juana Delgado Soto vs. Kylie Jenner, The 2nd Housekeeper Lawsuit and What the Filing Actually Says

Kylie Jenner is a 28-year-old beauty entrepreneur and media personality, known for founding Kylie Cosmetics and appearing in Keeping Up with the Kardashians and its spinoff The Kardashians. She is named as a defendant in her capacity as the employer at her Los Angeles residence. A representative for Jenner declined to comment on April 30, 2026, noting that Jenner had not yet seen the lawsuit. Jenner is not directly accused of personally engaging in any discriminatory or harassing behavior — the complaint focuses on supervisors and the alleged failure of management to act.

What Does the Complaint Allege?

The most striking detail in this filing is what happened when Soto tried to go directly to Jenner. According to the lawsuit, in April 2025, Soto wrote a lengthy letter to Jenner and placed it on her massage bed right before Jenner was scheduled to get a massage. In the letter, Soto reportedly wrote that she needed to express how terribly she was being mentally abused, while also apologizing for raising the situation and expressing her belief that Jenner would not allow this if she knew about it.

Instead of getting help, the lawsuit alleged that the response was the opposite of what Soto hoped for — she was allegedly threatened with termination and instructed never to contact Jenner again. According to the filing, defendants told her she was no longer allowed to look at Kylie, smile at Kylie, and that if she saw Kylie, she would have to disappear.

The lawsuit also alleged that Soto was given restricted bathroom access, was forced to clean Jenner’s doghouse, and was prohibited from drinking water inside the home. By August 2025, the complaint says she had no choice but to resign. In her resignation text, Soto wrote that she could no longer continue because she was being mistreated every day, could not sleep at night, always had anxiety, and that no one had helped her despite everything she tried.

What Happens Next in This Case?

The complaint was filed Wednesday, April 29, 2026, in L.A. County Superior Court. No hearing date has been set and no case number has been confirmed in the public docket as of May 1, 2026. At this stage in a California employment lawsuit, the typical process is: Jenner’s team files a formal response to the complaint, both sides may attempt private mediation, and if no resolution is reached, the case moves into the discovery phase — where both sides exchange evidence.

Soto’s attorney Della Shaker said that this is not an isolated incident and that employees need to understand they have rights and don’t need to suffer at the hands of their employers. Shaker also represents Angelica Vasquez, who filed a nearly identical lawsuit against Jenner the week before. The fact that two former housekeepers filed separate suits within days of each other — with overlapping defendants including Tri Star Services and La Maison Family Services — will likely draw attention to the staffing companies named alongside Jenner.
