In a new clip from Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Kris Jenner is seen breaking down in tears following Bruce Jenner’s announcement that he is transitioning.
Momager Kris has remained tight-lipped on Bruce Jenner’s interview with Diane Sawyer, coming under fire for refusing to comment following the airing of the news in the US.
According to People magazine, the 59-year old claims producers only contacted her office ‘for fact checking,’ but she felt she couldn’t ‘respond’ because she hadn’t seen the show. She has since denied reports from ABC News that she had declined to comment on the night it aired.
In a new clip shared on NBC’s Today show, mum Kris is seen sobbing to daughter Kim, telling the reality TV star:
“I have these memories of this life and I feel sometimes that it didn’t exist.”
The footage is part of a two-part special of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, which will address the Diane Sawyer interview and the Kardashian family reacting to the news. ABC News insisted they reached out to Kris ‘more than once’, adding:
‘ABC News sent an email to her publicity team more than once. They called and said no comment.’
