Kylie Jenner sued by second housekeeper who says she slipped a letter to Jenner pleading for help - Los Angeles Times

Staff Writer Sept. 30, 2026 2:57 PM PT Some monetary relief may be on the horizon for Chris Brown, found liable earlier this year for a vicious dog attack in 2020 that left a housekeeper working at his Tarzana home hospitalized with injuries to her face, arm and leg. A Los Angeles Superior Court judge on Tuesday ruled in favor of the R&B star, granting the musician and his team’s motion for a new trial on the nearly $12.9 million in damages owed to plaintiff Maria Avila, the housekeeper a jury awarded the hefty sum in July. According to the ruling, reviewed by The Times, the court found “the jury’s award to Maria Avila is excessive,” citing “insufficient evidence” of the “extensive permanent nerve damage” and of “the value to future pain and suffering” resulting from the 2020 incident. Judge Huey P. Cotton ruled that Avila can either agree to a reduced award of $9.5 million in damages or undergo a new trial for the damages. She has until Tuesday to decide. Neither legal representatives for Brown nor Avila, also identified in court documents as Maria Soledad Avila Marmolejo, immediately responded on Wednesday to The Times’ request for comment.

For the return of Victoria’s Secret’s pricey and gemstone-encrusted Fantasy Bra—the first time the brand has put it on its runway since 2018—team VS needed a model who is not merely of the moment, but transcends it. They got just that with Kylie Jenner, the reality TV star-turned-beauty entrepreneur, who, with 380 million followers on Instagram, is one of the most popular personalities on the platform. Jenner, 29, stepped out onto the catwalk wearing a gauzy mini skirt, clear heels, and white feathered wings—but it was ultimately the Fantasy Bra that was the center of attention. To mark its grand return, the brand pulled out all the stops with the bra itself, revealing a design that features 4,410 natural diamonds surrounding a 75.54-carat radiant-cut Fancy Vivid yellow diamond. It took 15 craftspeople more than 1,000 hours to build it, and the finished product weighs just under four pounds. The total cost? A whopping $50 million, the highest price (by some $35 million) for a Fantasy Bra to date. “A big idea for the show was fandomonium,” says Adam Selman, chief creative officer at Victoria’s Secret.
