Kylie Jenner's assistant Victoria Villarroel quits her job to become an Instagram influencer

Kylie Jenner's assistant Victoria Villarroel has quit her job with the billionaire to work on her own career of being an Instagram influencer. 

Victoria Villarroel, 27, got a taste of the lavish lifestyle as Jenner's personal assistant, a role that allowed her to travel the world in the lap of luxury alongside the 22-year-old, while also providing her with several high-profile friends.

But, according to US Weekly, Villarroel is now moving on from being an assistant to launch a career of her own on the social media platform.

'Victoria wants to be an influencer in her own right and is focusing on that now,' a source told the publication. However, while the influencer-to-be has left her post with Jenner, the source insists that the pair remain close friends.

'Kylie and Victoria are still friends and close,' the person continued. Kylie doesn’t have any bad feelings about Victoria going off to do her own thing and is supportive.' 

The 27-year-old who shares a publicist with her and Jenner’s mutual friend Stassie Karanikalaou, shared a photo of herself and her former boss on Monday, January 13, showing that their friendship is still intact.

Villarroel has grown her Instagram platform to more than 900,000 followers and although she still has a long way to go before she matches up to Jenner's 157 million fans, she already uses her posts to advertise for specific lifestyle companies and brands.
