Kylie Jenner's legal team is pushing back hard against her former chef's bid to stay nameless in court, as the lawsuit involving claims of a misc*rriage linked to gruelling work conditions heats up.

According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Kylie's attorneys argue that the plaintiff, identified only as Jane Doe, has no automatic right to remain anonymous. They point out that she never filed a formal motion to proceed anonymously, which is typically required before such protections are granted.

The legal filing takes particular aim at how Jane Doe's counsel has handled media attention. Kylie's attorneys accuse them of weaponising press coverage by speaking freely to news outlets while simultaneously hiding behind their client's anonymity. The court documents describe this tactic as using publicity as a "sword" while treating anonymity as a "shield."

Kylie's legal team further argues that anonymity is a rarely granted legal exception, and that similar employment lawsuits are routinely litigated with plaintiffs identified by their real names. They also note that Jane Doe had already disclosed her first name within her own court filing, which they say weakens the case for full anonymity.

As an alternative, the lawyers suggest Jane Doe could use protective orders and targeted redactions to keep sensitive health information out of the public record, without needing to conceal her full identity from the court.

What Jane Doe originally claimed

The former chef filed her lawsuit in June, alleging that the demands of working for Jenner's household took a severe physical and emotional toll. She claimed she was regularly required to work 11- to 12-hour days, five days a week, with little support from her employers.

Jane Doe alleged the conditions were both physically exhausting and emotionally draining. She further claimed that when a supervisor noticed a change in her mood, she was simply told to "stop it," rather than being offered any form of assistance. She maintains that the stress and physical demands of the job contributed directly to her suffering a misc*rriage.

The case now turns on whether the court will allow Jane Doe to continue proceedings without revealing her full identity, or whether Jenner's legal team will succeed in forcing her into the open.
