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.

It looks like Bruce Jenner’s highly anticipated interview with Diane Sawyer is making Kris Jenner very worried.

She is so concerned that Bruce will reveal something about their family as he opens up about his transition that she has actually threatened him with a defamation lawsuit.

A source has told Radar Online: "Kris told Bruce that if he defames her in any way, or their brand, she is going to sue him for everything that he is worth."

She is also demanding to see what has been filmed so far of the documentary.

The realisation of what was actually going on seemed to hit Kris when she saw Bruce with breast implants.

Kourtney Kardashian had recently tried to act as peacemaker between the two, but clearly, this didn't last very long.

However, it appears that Kris doesn’t need to be too worried as a source has claimed: “Bruce would never badmouth Kris because she is the mother of his children and he is appalled that she would ever accuse him of such a thing.”

Phew!

Bruce Jenner is set to finally speak out about his decision to transition to life as a woman in a two-hour long interview special later this month.

The former Olympian may have finalised his divorce with Kris Jenner last year, but that doesn't mean she is happy about his decision to go public with his plans.

Kris' sister Karen Houghton has opened up about the family's reaction to Bruce's rumoured sex change, and she says Kris finds it "humiliating."

The Kardashian-Jenner clan have been keeping tight-lipped about the rumours, and so far only Kim Kardashian has even come close to addressing them, telling Entertainment tonight that she and her family support Bruce "one hundred per cent," no matter what he chooses to do.

However it seems the process has not been so easy for Kris to deal with, having split from Bruce in 2013 after 22 years of marriage.

"As with anyone, it has embarrassed my sister. It's been humiliating for her" Karen told RadarOnline. 

She revealed that the situation has also been difficult from Bruce and Kris' daughters, 17-year-old Kylie and 19-year-old Kendall. "I told Kendall and Kylie, I love your dad, I will always love him. I don't care what he is or does," Karen said. "I know this is hard on them."

The speculation and rumours can't be easy, but hopefully the whole family can come to terms with Bruce's decision over time.
