Kris also denied claims that ABC News reached out to her for the 20/20 piece, for which Jenner’s other ex-wives gave supportive statements, though an ABC News source tells ET that they made multiple requests to Kris Jenner for interviews and statements.

"No one asked me to comment," Kris replied to a tweet from Perez Hilton. "I'm sitting with Bruce now watching this show so let's keep it real."


As Jenner has not yet said that a new name or pronouns should be used, ETonline will follow GLAAD guidelines and continue to refer to him by his current name and male pronouns.
