Kim Kardashian elevated herself to the billionaire status with her highly successful business ventures, earning widespread respect and admiration from her devoted fan base. However, the gleam of her ultra-wealthy demeanor dulled down a bit after she faced accusations of failing to provide proper wages to her house helps, in the year 2021. This accusation turned a lot of heads and placed the actress in the middle of controversies. 

Two years after their legal feud, Kardashian finally seemed to have concluded with the dispute. Recently, a report confirmed that the SKIMS owner has reached a settlement with her housekeepers.

Kim Kardashian faced allegations from seven of her housekeepers who worked at her Hidden Hills. The housekeepers accused the reality star of late wage disbursements and hit her with a lawsuit for subjecting them to inadequate working conditions. According to a recent report from Radar Online, Kardashian has “reached an agreement in principle” with her seven housekeepers, but the terms of their settlement are still under wraps.

As per the report, Kardashian and her house-helps will be filing a dismissal of the action to the court within 60 days. Both parties have officially pulled the strings to the trials which were first filed with the Los Angeles Superior Court. Kardashian, however, has gone on record denying the accusations and claimed that she hired the housekeepers through a third-party company and was not responsible for their wages. This is just one of the instances where she faced scrutiny for not meeting her obligations to pay her staff.

It all started with Kim Kardashian’s statement in her family’s Variety profile. Kardashian urged women to “get your f***ing a** up and work” in her interview. As soon as the interview surfaced, many former interns of the Kardashians came forward to voice their grievances. Celene Zavala, who worked as an intern assistant to Kim Kardashian for five months, accused the fashion mogul of making her work for free.

She also shared a post from writer and critic Jessica DeFino. DeFino claimed to receive a meager wage while working on Kardashian’s app in 2015. Even Kanye West dragged his name under the controversy of underpaying interns and faced a lawsuit of $1 million by the alleged unpaid staff. However, just like his ex-wife Kim Kardashian, Kanye West managed to settle the legal disputes with his top-notch lawyers.
