One of those autoplays were on on youtube. Bruce Jenner was wingeing to someone about how Khloe Kardashian hadn't talked to him for five years-since the transition.
This lead me down to a rabbit hole on Bruce Jenner. Some things I discovered:
-Bruce Jenner got married to Kris when Khloe was about 5 years old, so he helped raise her.
-At this time he already had four other kids from a previous marriage. He basically dumped them and is estranged from all of those kids. But he was "such an involved father" to his other kids.
-As a kid, Khloe discovered lingerie/dresses in the back of Bruce's closet. She asked about it and he said she didn't see anything and was making it all up. He got the entire family to also buy into this lie. Typical TiM gaslighting.
-Kim Kardashian found him trying on her lingerie. This is played off as a moment of self-reflection highlighting Bruce's vulnerability, not a creepy stepfather touching and fantasizing in his stepdaughter's underwear.
-The family asked for years if he was a TiM, he said no. Khloe found out when a tv executive was asking about their schedule-"he's supposed to do a special with ABC on transgender people." He refused to be honest with a person who, for all intents and purposes, was his daughter.
-When Khloe confronted him he refused to talk. The only time he would talk to them was when the cameras were rolling for their TV show, so that he couldn't be criticized.
-After publicly coming out as a TiM, he did that god-awful interview with Vanity Fair, where he portrayed his wife of twenty years as an uncaring monster. He also wrote a book writing scathing passages about his marriage to her.
-I did watch a few clips from the TV show. "Caitlyn" had moved out and was coming over to give Kris a copy of his book. Kris asked him if he wanted anything from the house-pictures, some cups a friend had given them-he said no, that basically his "inauthentic" life was dead to him. Keep in mind this also included pictures of his children.
You might be aware that Kanye West recently came out as a presidential candidate in something that's either a publicity stunt, attempted vote division, or a manic episode. It's likely all three, but there's a very an interview with Forbes that was very...exploitive. Instead of looking at this as his son-in-law is having another mental health crisis that could also be endangering his stepdaughter & her children, Bruce Jenner instead wants to be on the ballot.
So when I go back to that original clip of "Khloe hasn't talked to me in five years," it makes me so mad. This is someone who lied, gaslit, and trashed her mother, sexualizes her sister, takes advantage of his mentally ill son-in-law, and has so little regard for anyone that he can't even bother to keep photos of them in the house. Yet this comment is framed like Khloe Kardashian is an intolerant TERF who couldn't possibly have any other reason for not talking to him except for "I'm trannnnnns."
