Kendall Jenner confirmed and expressed support for Bruce Jenner’s reported transition in an interview with US Weekly published earlier today. Or did she?
A quote from the model appeared in an “exclusive interview” with US Weekly and has been widely circulated across the internet—even USA Today reported on her comments.
“I love my dad. He’s always been there for me and my sisters,” the 19-year-old model shared of the former Olympian, 65, who has six kids and four stepkids with ex-wives Kris Jenner, Linda Thompson, and Chrystie Crownover. “He’s a wonderful man. And just because he’s changing shoes now, so to speak, doesn’t make him less wonderful. I will always love my dad, whether he’s a man or a woman.”
Gender pronoun issues aside, Kendall’s comments sound genuine and she seemed to speak quite candidly about a situation that Bruce Jenner and the rest of the family have largely tiptoed around. The interview also delves into Kendall’s modeling career and her family’s “work ethic.”
