The complaint, first reported by TMZ and later detailed by Page Six, says the former employee, Angelica Vasquez, experienced hostility tied to her religion and national origin.

Page Six, citing court documents, reported that Vasquez began working at Jenner’s Beverly Hills residence in September 2024. About a week later, she was moved to Jenner’s Hidden Hills home, where she reported to head housekeeper Patsy and another woman identified as Elsi. During her time there, Vasquez claimed she “was treated with hostility and exclusion.”The filing alleges that “Patsy questioned [Vasquez’s] presence, forced her to wait with a security guard, and made clear that [Vasquez] was not welcome.” Vasquez, who is Salvadoran and Catholic, further claimed she was routinely “assigned the most difficult and undesirable tasks; excluded from the housekeeping team; publicly belittled and humiliated in front of coworkers due to her race, national origin and religion; and subjected to intimidation and demeaning treatment.”According to the complaint, the defendants also made “repeated discriminatory and derogatory comments” that were “intended to demean, intimidate, and assert power over her.” Vasquez said her accent was mocked and that she was regularly made to perform tasks belonging to Patsy and Elsi.
