Bruce made headlines over the weekend after his brave and emotional interview with the presenter, where he described his long struggle in identifying as a woman.

‘Man, I’m glad I got out when I did. #Gottadoyou’

Kris, who was previously married to Bruce’s daughter Kim, faced an online backlash from fans who slammed the basketball player for his reaction and ‘disgusting’ tweet.
Now Kris has attempted to clarify his original comment, saying that the tweet was ‘vague’ and that Jenner has his full support:
I have and always will support Bruce hence #Gottadoyou. Now recognize I was too vague and sincerely apologize for the way this came across.
