Model and "Keeping up With the Kardashians" star Kendall Jenner recently spoke to Us Weekly about Bruce Jenner's transition to become a woman.

While making an appearance at Justin Bieber's recent Comedy Central roast, Kendall told the publication that she will always love her dad regardless of his transition.

"I love my dad. He's always been there for me and my sisters," the 19-year-old model shared of her father. "He's a wonderful man. And just because he's changing shoes now, so to speak, doesn't make him less wonderful. I will always love my dad, whether he's a man or a woman."

According to Us Weekly, Kendall and the rest of her siblings are extremely overprotective of their father as he transitions.

"They just want him to live the way he wants," said an Us Weekly source.

Page Six reports that Bruce is set to have a sit-down interview with Diane Sawyer where he discusses his journey to become a woman.

The Olympic champion will also address his transition on an upcoming episode of "Keeping up With the Kardashians," Us Weekly adds. In the upcoming episode, viewers will allegedly see Bruce confronting his children on his decision.

Things get a "little emotional" during the conversation that Us Weekly reports initially took place on Jan. 19.

But despite being initially emotional about her father's decision, Kendall revealed that what really bothers her are critics claiming she and her family do not work hard.

"When people say we don't work hard. That's just the biggest lie ever," Kendall told Us Weekly. "All of our family members are super dedicated to their work, and we all know how to commit ourselves to our jobs. It's a great quality to have, I think. A good work ethic goes a long way."

Page Six reports that Kendall is the first of the Jenner-Kardashian family to directly speak out about Bruce Jenner's transition.
