Kris Jenner breaks her silence on Bruce’s gender change
She has been called out by producers behind Bruce’s interview, and publicly slammed by Perez Hilton, but finally Kris Jenner has broken her silence on her former husband’s gender transition.
While the famous ‘momager’ referred to Bruce as her ‘hero’ in a tweet sent out after his 20/20 interview, she opened up to The New York Times after a fortnight of intense media pressure.
“At the end of the day, I just want him to be happy. He’s going to find his happiness, and he’s going to have his journey,” she told the publication.
Kris faced criticism after the airing of Bruce’s interview with Diane Sawyer, with celebrity blogger Perez Hilton turning the spotlight on her by accusing her of remaining silent so that she could negotiate “her very own tell-all interview…to the highest bidder”.
The reality star went on to blast Perez, insisting that she had not been contacted for comment; this, however, was disputed by the team at 20/20.
During her latest interview, Kris also spoke candidly about the Kardashian-Jenner empire, insisting that her family are not greedy.
Not only was I able to call him my husband for 25 years and father of my children, I am now able to call him my hero.

“It doesn’t mean that we’re always looking for more or that we’re greedy. There’s a lot of people that have great ideas and dreams and whatnot, but unless you’re willing to work really, really hard, and work for what you want, it’s never going to happen,” she added.
A forthcoming Keeping Up With the Kardashians special will focus on the family’s reactions to Bruce's announcement and plans to transition into a woman.
