Workers at the factory that use to produce Kylie Jenner’s makeup line are speaking out about the alleged treatment they received behind the scenes.
The Sun published an explosive story detailing the alleged conditions workers are subjected to at the factory that made Kylie’s makeup.
The reality star launched KYLIE Lips Kits in 2015. The company was renamed to Kylie Cosmetics in 2016. Spatz Laboratories, which is located in Oxnard, California, has been the manufacturer of the makeup line for years.
Kylie does not own or have control over the lab. A former employee named Irene Lopez told the outlet Kylie and Kris Jenner would come to the factory to check on the products and to film stuff for social media.
Irene said Kylie would come by to watch them work. She said, "Before they would come in our supervisors would tell us, ‘You are not allowed to talk with them, you guys are supposed to keep on working, you guys are not allowed to take any pictures or ask any questions. We had to be quiet and continue working."
She continued, "They would come around and just watch us on the machines or filling up the makeup tubes. They wouldn’t talk to us, they never talked to me, they would talk to the leads and just walk around and look at everything.”
