Driver in fatal Caitlyn Jenner crash speaks out about ESPY honour

Despite being all over the media yesterday following her inspiring speech at the ESPY awards on Wednesday night in L.A, some people are still not happy with Caitlyn Jenner.

The former Olympian has received much criticism from a driver involved in the fatal crash on Feb 7 which Caitlyn was also involved in.

Jessica Steindorff issues a statement to ET following Caitlyn receiving the award with outlined her anger at Caitlyn being honoured after taking someone’s life.

It is still being debated at the moment as to whether Caitlyn was at fault or not, but Jessica says she does not deserve to be called a role model.

“I find it difficult to understand how the culture we live in can honour a person who is responsible for taking a life and injuring several others with both an award and a reality show.”

She went on to say in the statement that while Caitlyn is a positive role model in many other aspects of her life, she has “failed to do the right thing and take responsibility for her actions.”

While Caitlyn has been in the public eye since her transition, she has not spoken about the incident where possible. Jessica said she would hope that for someone who spoke so passionately about compassion and understanding for others that she “would be more sensitive to the fact that she ended another person’s life.”

 While Jessica is angered by the fact that Caitlyn does not seem to be taking responsibility for her actions she is also not surprised about the fact that is has happened this way.

She said: “Sadly we are living in a tabloid society.”
