Bruce Jenner to discuss transformation on TV
Bruce Jenner is ready for the world to see who he really is.
The former Olympian and reality star, 65, has taped an interview and is currently filming an unscripted E! reality series of his own about his “desire to look like a woman and live as one,” reports Us Weekly.
“It’s a docuseries featuring the Jenner family talking about Bruce ‘coming out.’ The world will see his full transformation,” a source told the magazine.
The magazine claims Jenner finally feels comfortable speaking out because of the support of his 10 children and stepchildren.
“He has been carrying this with him for so long that everyone is relieved he is starting to come out with it,” the source said. “They were so worried that their dad had no one to talk to about this. They are happy when he opens up because it’s been such a long time coming.”
Stepdaughter Kim Kardashian talked about her stepfather’s journey, which Us Weekly says will be a plot point on the upcoming season of “Keeping Up with the Kardashians,” earlier this week.
“I think everyone goes through things in life and I think that story and what Bruce is going through, I think he’ll share whenever the time is right,” she said on Monday. “I feel like that’s his journey to talk about.”
Someone who has been less encouraging is ex-wife Kris, who, the magazine reports, has been aware of his desire to live as a woman since the beginning of their relationship.
“She treats the whole thing like it will just go away,” a family source told the magazine. “She tells the public it isn’t true rather than try to understand. She has made no attempt to seriously understand him.”
A request for comment from Jenner’s representative was not immediately returned.
The show will begin airing in either May or June, reports TMZ.
