Bruce Jenner may have had a tell-all interview with Diane Sawyer on “20/20,’ but it looks like his own reality show will be hitting the small screen soon. According to multiple sources, now that he has confessed about his transition, his upcoming E! series will cover his journey to womanhood.
Jeff Olde, the executive vice president of programming and development in E!, has recently spoken up about how “proud” the network is about Jenner’s revelation. “Bruce is incredibly courageous and an inspiration,” he said in a press release, according to Hollywood Life. “We are proud to be entrusted with this deeply personal and important story. This series will present an unfiltered look as Bruce boldly steps into uncharted territory and is true to himself for the first time.”
Even his daughters, Kendall and Kylie Jenner, took to Twitter to tell their fans and followers that they are proud of their “hero.”
“So very proud of you,” Kendall wrote on Twitter. “My hero.”
“Understandingly, this has been very hard for me,” wrote Kylie. “You will hear what I have to say when I am ready to, but this is not about me. I am so proud of you, Dad. You are so brave. My beautiful hero.”
The rest of the family just could not keep themselves from grabbing a bit of the limelight – being the reality TV mavens that they are.
“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,” former wife Kris Jenner said.
“Love is the courage to live the truest, best version of yourself,” wrote Kim Kardashian. “Bruce is love. I love you, Bruce. #ProudDaughter.”
“Could not be a more proud daughter,” wrote Kourtney Kardashian. “With courage and bravery, let us change the world. I am honored to stand by Bruce’s side and support him.”
“Just finished watching the #BruceJennerInterveiw with the family,” chimed Khloe Kardashian. “Bruzer, I am soooo proud of you! Dads really are heroes.”
The public, however, was reportedly not surprised, especially after how the Paparazzi have been hounding the Kardashian/Jenner patriarch, as reported by Fox 13. Their photographers have stalked him for months, documenting each noticeable change, from wearing lip stick to getting a French manicure.
Still, The New York Times has noted that 16.8 million people tuned in to the now-trending Bruce Jenner interview on ABC News to watch the former Olympic champion admit that he is a woman “for all intents and purposes.”
“People look at me differently,” he revealed. “They see this macho male, but this female side part of me – it is who I am. I was not genetically born that way.”
