9 Ways Kim Kardashian is Bruce’s Biggest Supporter

For anyone who believes that everything about the Kardashians is fake from their reality show to their various other assets, it is clear to see that despite the overall façade of the family the love and support that they have for each other is undeniably genuine.

A few months ago, rumors began to spread that former Olympic champion and reality star dad, Bruce Jenner, was transitioning into a woman. Initially, the close-knit Kardashian-Jenner family played coy when confronted about the subject by the media. However in January, the usually cool, calm, and collected Kim Kardashian was caught off guard when asked about her stepfather’s alleged transition and admitted that he was that happiest that she had ever seen him.

In the recent E! News Special, About Bruce, viewers see Bruce talking to Kim about this interaction with the media. He begins by saying she is his “darling little daughter out defending me.” She admits that when she gave that statement she was caught off guard but also realized that it was a pivotal point in addressing the rumors. “This was the moment that I’m either going to lie—I cant lie because it’s going to come out,” Kim said. She later added that in addition to revealing that Bruce was happier than ever she also stated, “… when and if he ever wants to address the rumors that’s his story to tell, not mine.”

In his interview with Diane Sawyer, Bruce identified Kim as being the “most accepting” of his transition. We have so much respect for how Kim has responded to Bruce’s transition. Here are nine ways that she is Bruce’s biggest supporter!

1.  She kept his secret for over a decade after she walked into the garage and saw him dressed in women’s clothing.

2. Kim is always showing Bruce love on Twitter.


3. She is the first person to defend him and show her support when his transition is mentioned in interviews.

4. She let him know how super impressed she was by his pedicure skills.

5. Kim acted as the mediator and peacekeeper when all of the Kardashian-Jenner girls and Bruce got together to discuss Bruce’s transitioning.


6. When Bruce asked her to be the family spokesperson for the Diane Sawyer interview she agreed to be there for him.


7. She gives Bruce the best fashion advice…

8. And she didn’t completely kill him for stealing one of her outfits.

9. She loves and supports him unconditionally.  

We love how Kim “keeps up” with and supports Bruce!

She realizes that her last name is Trusty and does that make her trusty? Yes, yes it does. She cares way more about the goings on of Kylie Jenner, One Direction, and the rest of the celebrity population way more than the average person should. So as opposed to becoming a professional paparazzo, she does this while she studies Broadcast Journalism at the University of South Carolina.
