Some stars are so famous, even the people working for them become celebrities. This has become a common occurrence with the KarJenner family. Their assistants, friends, and even bodyguards have become public figures in their own right.
For example, Kylie Jenner’s former assistant is now a social media superstar. If you’ve been keeping tabs on Kylie’s ex-employee Victoria Villarroel, you already know that there’s more than a million people on Instagram watching her every move.
Villarroel began serving as Kylie’s assistant in 2015, working for the makeup mogul for nearly four years before quitting in March 2019. In her run as the reality star’s assistant, Victoria Villarroel made a few television appearances herself, appearing on Life of Kylie multiple times.
She wound up becoming total besties with her boss, and showed face on her Instagram page numerous times.

So, it came as the ultimate surprise when Villarroel resigned from her position in 2019, but she did so with good reason. With fans asking countless questions about her exit, she set the record straight on her Instagram Story.
“I worked with Kylie for 5 years and she became one of my closest friends,” she explained. “We both decided it was time to grow without each other professionally about a year ago! She’s still one of my best friends and our relationship has only gotten stronger,” she added.
Now, Villarroel’s resume is a pretty darn impressive one. As of January 2021, she boasts more than 1.4 million Instagram followers, and has become a full-blown influencer herself. For one, she’s an ambassador for Rihanna’s Savage x Fenty lingerie brand.
Villarroel is also always jet-setting off to a new destination, and her social media pages are filled with glamorous beach snapshots and endless bikini pics.
Life after being Kylie’s assistant certainly hasn’t been a dull one for Victoria Villarroel! It looks like she’ll have a lucrative career as a model and influencer moving forward.
