Keeping Up with the Kardashians Fake? Kris Jenner’s Tearful Reaction to Bruce’s Transition Was Staged
On Monday, ‘Keeping Up with the Kardahsians’ debuted a preview from their ‘About Bruce’ special that showed Kris crying and reacting to ex-husband Bruce Jenner coming out as transgender.
“He has to deal with this for his entire life, waking up and feeling like, ‘Whoa, this isn’t my body, This doesn’t feel comfortable.’ That’s the only way I can kind of imagine it and you really have to let go,” says Kim Kardashian.
“I have these memories of this life and I feel sometimes like it didn’t exist,” an emotional Kris responds.
Well it turns out that the moment was allegedly filmed after the special was shot and after Bruce Jenner gave his coming out interview to Diane Sawyer because Kris wanted to look more sympathetic.
From Radar:
“Kris was in pure damage control and needed to show a softer side, and so she decided the best way to do it was to film with Kim after Bruce’s interview,” the source said. “It was absolutely shot after Bruce’s appeared on 20/20 with Diane Sawyer. The criticism that Kris received for not publicly supporting Bruce really stung. This was her attempt to show a softer side, and get the fans back in her corner.”
“It’s very much the Kardashians versus the Jenners, now,” the source said, “and it’s take no prisoners.”
Kris Jenner initially claimed that she was not asked to participate in the 20/20 interview, but that ended up being a lie.
