Bruce Jenner Interview Reactions: Kris Jenner Calls Bruce Jenner a ‘Hero’ Following Diane Sawyer Tell-All
After Bruce Jenner's candid interview on Friday night with Diane Sawyer regarding his transition from male to female, his most recent ex-wife Kris Jenner tweeted her support for the Olympian athlete, People reports.
Check out Kris' tweet below.
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.

However, during the Bruce Jenner ABC aired special, Sawyer suggested that Kris was not in support of Bruce's transition since she had "no comment" for ABC reporters when asked to share her opinion on Bruce's decision.
Celebrity gossip blogger Perez Hilton suggested the same idea when he tweeted, "Kris Jenner has no comment for ABC news and the #BruceJenner interview. His other two ex-wives give supportive statements."
Kris did not take kindly to Hilton's tweet and immediately slammed the gossip blogger for suggesting that she is against Bruce's transition, Us Weekly reports. Kris replied, "@PerezHilton f*ck you Perez no one asked me to comment ....and I'm sitting with Bruce now watching this show so let's keep it real...LOL."
Hilton did not reply back to Kris' tweet. Though Kris' support for Bruce Jenner's transition is in question, other members of the Kardashian family tweeted their support following his interview. Kylie Jenner, Kendall Jenner, Kim Kardashian, Rob Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian and Kourtney Kardashian all described Bruce's interview and decision to transition as "brave" and "courageous."
