Bruce– now Caitlyn– Jenner: Jenner Kids Won’t Be In TV Show, No “Full” Surgery Yet, Mother Thought His Life “Was About Money”

Share

Forgive me if the pronouns get mixed up here. We’re transitioning…

In Vanity Fair, Caitlyn Jenner’s mother, Esther, 89, tells Buzz Bissinger that she’d thought Bruce and Kris Jenner’s lives had been “all about money”…
Bissinger claims Bruce/Caitlyn is frugal, that his big toys are gifts from Kris Jenner…
No one can agree on how much Kris knew about Caitlyn, even though the older Jenner kids seem to have known for quite a long time…
My theory is that the Kardashians were too self involved to think out it. All those Kardashian girls and Kanye West– are not in the story…
The Jenner kids– four of them– two from first marriage, two from second– will not participate in the E! series. But they are supportive of Caitlyn…
Bruce was a bad parent. He didn’t want the first two kids. He missed the birth of his first daughter. He was absent for all four children’s lives…
It’s really true that Brody Jenner told his mom, Linda Thompson: “We saw Daddy getting out of the show. He had boobs.” Caitlyn had been starting transitioning in the 80s, then stopped when she met Kris.

There’s a lot more– incredible story– great work by Buzz Bissinger, who concedes he himself is a cross dresser. He’d previously written a story for GQ revealing that he was a shopping addict who owned 80 leather Gucci jackets. Now this, of course. Very interesting…
