Well this is awkward.
Caitlyn Jenner appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! last night, and took the opportunity to put the TV host in the hot seat over jokes he made about her transition. The Olympian also discussed her struggle with gender identity and how it's given her purpose.
"When you deal with this issue, every story is a different story. Every journey is a different story. I am not a spokesperson for the trans community. I’m only really a spokesperson for my journey and then take my platform, which I have, and see if I can make a difference in the world," she explained.
The reality star said that as a person of faith, she often wonders why God put her through this.
"Why has gender and my identity been an issue in my life since I was this big? And I just go to the point where fortunately I had raised ten wonderful children. Kris [Jenner] and I, we had gone our separate ways — not because of gender issues, but because of other things. And there I was back in Malibu all by myself, and so I slowly went through, told all my children, because it had been just hammered all over the media for the longest time. In fact, guys like you, making some jokes…†she said.
Kimmel then took a moment to apologize.
"Right, but we didn’t know what was happening. We thought you were just vain. … We didn’t know what was going on. I’m sorry about that, by the way," he quipped.
The 66-year-old let him off the hook pretty easily. "No, it’s quite alright. Now he’s gonna apologize! I accept your apology. I don’t know if you saw when I was on Jimmy Fallon, I gave him a real hard time," she joked.
All is well that ends well we guess!
