Former staff members who were employed for Kim Kardashian are now speaking out against the cruel working conditions they faced amid a pending lawsuit filed by seven former employees.

The update in the lawsuit comes after Kardashian received major backlash for an interview she did with Variety, in which she gave some questionable advice to women in business, telling them to “get your f**king ass up and work.”

After the interview had gone viral, many more former employees who had worked for Kardashian came out to detail their experience working for the reality star. 

Kim Kardashian’s former staff have a different view of her self-professed appreciation for hard work.

In May 2021, seven employees who were members of Kardashian’s gardening and maintenance staff and worked in her Hidden Hills mansion, accused Kardashian of being late with payments, withholding 10% of their wages for taxes but then failing to give that money to the government, denying them overtime, and occasionally forcing them to work through meal breaks.

The seven defendants include Aron Cabrea, Rene Ernesto Flores, Jesse Fernandez, Robert Araiza, Andrew Ramirez, his brother Christopher Ramirez and son Andrew Ramirez Jr., who are all seeking compensation for both unpaid wages and overtime owed. 

“Plaintiffs never received any paystubs, were not paid on regular pay periods, were not given their required meal and rest breaks, were not provided a means to record all their hours, were not paid all their hours, were not reimbursed for employment expenses, were not paid all their overtime wages, and were not paid their wages upon termination of employment,” the suit claims.
