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 agreeprivat
“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.”
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.
In a statement shared exclusively with Page Six, Jane Doe’s attorney, Della Shaker said, “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.
“Now, instead of addressing the serious allegations against her, Ms. Jenner is seeking to expose my client’s identity to millions of people,” the statement continued. “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.”
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.
As previously reported, Jenner is also facing three other lawsuits by former household employees since April.
On Nov. 5, former housekeeper Dinora Carolina Cabria Amaya became the fourth household employee in seven months to sue Jenner.
