Outrage erupted online following reports that California mogul Kylie Jenner is attempting to uncover the identity of a former chef who filed a lawsuit anonymously, alleging that demanding working conditions contributed to her miscarriage.
According to Page Six, Kylie Jenner’s former chef filed a lawsuit in June 2026, alleging that her demanding workload contributed to her miscarriage. The woman claimed that she regularly worked 11- to 12-hour shifts despite informing her supervisors that she had a high-risk pregnancy. She also alleged that she was required to carry heavy items without assistance.
The chef claimed that she experienced severe bleeding after working at a birthday celebration for one of Jenner’s children in February 2025. She later learned that her unborn child no longer had a heartbeat. The woman also accused her supervisors of mistreating her following the miscarriage and eventually terminating her employment. The allegations have not been proven in court.
Jenner is now seeking to reveal the identity of her former chef. According to Page Six, the mogul’s lawyers have asked a Los Angeles judge to require the woman, who filed her lawsuit anonymously as Jane Doe, to disclose her real name in public court records.
In a court filing, Jenner’s legal team argued that the chef’s pregnancy-related allegations did not justify allowing her to remain anonymous. The attorneys asked the court to order the former employee to file an amended complaint identifying herself by her real name. “Plaintiff’s pregnancy allegations do not satisfy the high bar to proceed anonymously,” Jenner’s attorneys wrote in their filing.
Jane Doe’s Lawyer Responds
Della Shaker, Jane Doe’s attorney, addressed the latest development in a statement to Page Six, questioning why Jenner wanted her former chef’s identity to be made public. “Kylie Jenner already knows the identity of Jane Doe. The question is why she believes the public needs to know it, too. My client has already endured the devastating loss of her unborn child and has courageously come forward to seek justice,” she said.
Shaker continued, “Now, instead of addressing the serious allegations against her, Ms. Jenner is seeking to expose my client’s identity to millions of people. What legitimate purpose does publicly identifying a woman who suffered such a devastating loss serve, other than to subject her to further scrutiny, humiliation, and pressure? Is the objective justice, or is it to make the consequences of speaking out so unbearable that my client feels compelled to settle? Enough is enough.”
Additional Details About the Situation
Jenner’s lawyers also argued in their filing that the chef had waited too long to seek permission to remain anonymous. They maintained that her concerns about exposing her private medical history could be addressed through other legal protections.
Additionally, the reality TV star’s lawyers accused Jane Doe of seeking publicity by filing the lawsuit in court rather than pursuing a “confidential arbitration agreement.” The attorneys claimed, “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.”
Fans Slam California Mogul Over Clash With Jane Doe
Following reports that California mogul Kylie Jenner is seeking to reveal her former chef’s identity, many internet users criticized her, with some interpreting the legal move as an attempt at intimidation. “You aren’t ‘seeking publicity’ by filing a lawsuit instead of going to arbitration, you’re trying to have a fair legal case. Arbitration is built in favour of the richer party even moreso than lawsuits are. Kylie just keeps proving she’s the worst,” one person wrote.
Another accused Jenner of wanting to expose the woman to harassment, commenting, “Kylie wants to make the accuser publicly known so her fans can relentlessly abuse the person until they withdraw their complaint.”
Others continued criticizing Jenner, with some questioning her motives for seeking to reveal the former chef’s identity. “This is such a [expletive] up motion to file. Pure malice. ‘I SWEAR I treated her well when she actually worked for me! I just also want to make her life a living hell right now,’” one person wrote. Another speculated that the move could affect the woman’s future employment opportunities, commenting, “I’m not a lawyer, but I feel like wanting her named is about stopping her from obtaining future employment. Being sued by four domestic employees in seven months is wild.”
The latest development has brought renewed attention to the multiple lawsuits filed against Kylie Jenner by former employees in recent months. It has also raised questions about the ethics of seeking to publicly identify Jane Doe, particularly given the sensitive nature of her allegations and concerns about her privacy.
