Bruce Jenner Interview Sparks Feisty Twitter Exchange Between Kris Jenner and Perez Hilton
”F–k you Perez,“ the Kardashian matriarch tweets in response to the celebrity gossip blogger calling her out for not commenting to ABC News for ”20/20“ special
Bruce Jenner’s ex-wife Kris Jenner sent celebrity gossip blogger Perez Hilton a “f–k you” on Twitter after he called her out for not giving any comment to ABC News for Friday’s “20/20” special, during which Bruce officially declared he identifies as a woman.
“Kris Jenner has no comment for ABC news and the #BruceJenner interview. His other two ex-wives give supportive statements,” Hilton tweeted on Friday night.
And that’s not all he had to say about Kris, either.
After the interview aired, Bruce’s ex-wife Linda Thompson shared her experience of living and loving a transgender individual in a lengthy blog post detailing their relationship, and joined a number of others in commending him for the “tremendous courage” it took to participate in the emotional interview. Although Kris said she was not asked for comment, Hilton revealed ABC News said “they sent an email to Kris Jenner’s publicity team more than once. They called and said ‘no comment.'” Minutes later, however, Hilton offered another explanation for the absence of both Kris and the Kardashian sisters, who are Bruce’s stepchildren.
Someone close to Kris Jenner insists to me that word never got to her from ABC that they were asking for comment. I believe them.
