Kylie Jenner’s ex-assistant reveals the moment that ended her job

Victoria Villarroel, the former assistant to Kylie Jenner, has recently disclosed the specific moment that prompted her departure from her high-profile role in 2020.

During an episode of the Better Half podcast, Villarroel recounted a kitchen exchange that occurred during her fifth year of employment.

The incident involved a simple request for a laptop that highlighted a shift in their professional dynamic. “I remember like it was yesterday. This was year five. We were in the kitchen and [Jenner] was like, ‘Vic, I need my laptop, it’s upstairs,’ and I was like, ‘Oof, who’s gonna get that?'” she recalled.

Villarroel explained that the longevity of her tenure had caused professional boundaries to fade, leading to a bond that felt more personal than corporate.

She admitted to responding with a candid remark: “I said something crazy like, ‘Oof, that seems far, I don’t want to go get your laptop.'” This interaction led to a mutual realisation that it was time to transition into a new career chapter.

The decision was met with apprehension, as Villarroel questioned whether she was abandoning a premier opportunity. “I remember being so nervous and thinking, ‘Am I making the right decision? What if I’m leaving the best job I could ever have?'” she confessed.

Despite external pressure to stay in a position that “people would die for,” Jenner remained supportive. “She is the most understanding person, she was like, ‘Oh my God, Vic, I want you to thrive, and I’m going to be here supporting you, and I love you so much,'” Villarroel stated. The two remain close friends within the same social circle.
