Kylie Jenner's personal assistant quits to steal some spotlight as a social media influencer

Kylie Jenner’s personal assistant quit her job with the hope to become an Instagram influencer.  

Victoria Villarroel, 27, had been working for the 22-year-old make-up mogul since 2015 but she has now decided to pursue her own social media fame. 

The brunette, who has some resemblance to her former boss, wants to benefit from the 911,000 Instagram followers she has gathered whilst working in the elite celebrity circle. 

According to Us Weekly , the pair have remained close friends and Kylie is supportive of her decision to move on with her career. 

“Kylie doesn’t have any bad feelings about Victoria going off to do her own thing and is supportive,” a source told the publication. 

The Venezuelan-born executive assistant was responsible for managing Kylie’s personal affairs and travel to high-profile events such as the Met Gala .

Their working relationship blossomed into a beautiful friendship which saw her frequently travel and party with the young Kardashian and her A-list pals.

So it's no wonder Kyle featured regularly in Victoria’s social media posts. 

Glamorous pictures of the socialite spanned back to 2016 when Victoria wished her happy birthday. She added the message: “I can’t imagine life without you in it! Happy birthday babe I love you.”

Just two days ago, Victoria posted another shot of herself sitting in a car with Kylie and one of Kylie’s best friends Yris Palmer.

Victoria was born in Venezuela before eventually moving to Los Angeles to attend the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising.

She also interned at Vogue and Teen Vogue before landing in the employment of Jenner Communications. 

While working for the family’s business, she was placed in greater roles of responsibility before eventually becoming Kylie’s PA. 

It is unclear who has assumed the sought after role as Kylie’s next assistant or whether the vacancy for this role is still open.
