Report: E! Docuseries Will Capture Bruce Jenner's Transition to Woman

Olympic gold medalist-turned-reality TV family patriarch Bruce Jenner for more than a year has been transitioning to a woman, with the journey to be shared via an E! docuseries.

Our sister site Variety reported on the E! series earlier this week, and now multiple reports confirm the presumed subject matter.



“Bruce is transitioning to a woman,” a source close to the Jenner/Kardashian family told People.

“He is finally happy and his family is accepting of what he’s doing…. The series will air when he is ready to be open about his transition” — perhaps as early as May, TMZ reports.



According to Variety, E!’s publicity team will be meeting with GLAAD to discuss how to properly handle the sensitive subject matter. “It’s in the very beginning stages, but it’s a go,” an insider tells the trade.

Among the moments already captured on video, TMZ says, is Jenner’s formal announcement to the family, most of whom have been supportive.

This is what happens when those Kardashians get the better of you. It eventually gets to you.

P.S. As an Armenian-American, I am ashamed to have the same nationality as the Kardashians.

So was Bruce secretly gay all these years?

I stand by my belief that the Kardashians are to blame for making him go the transgender route.

In my opinion, he let them get the better of him.

Good for him......hope he finds the peace and happiness he is looking for......I have watched and enjoy all the Kardashian shows, merchandise, etc....always felt bad for bruce.....

Vahan, how can you say that? The Kardashian family are to blame for what? How do you know what goes on behind closed doors?

Mace Dolex, being transgendered has nothing to do w/ a person's sexual orientation.

Exactly. You're either transgendered...or you're not. Implying that someone was forced into the lifestyle is insane.

Fair enough. I'll end the argument here.

P.S. Please do not take my posts to imply that I hate transgenders, let alone anyone of the LGBT community. I do not hate any of those people.

As a 50 year old gay guy, I can tell you that I've never had the desire to be a woman nor to transition to a woman. Happy being a guy.

Diane Sawyer Will Interview Bruce Jenner about Transitioning
by Liz Raftery
Feb 3, 2015


Bruce Jenner will sit down for an interview with ABC News' Diane Sawyer about transitioning to live life as a woman, BuzzFeed reports.

Jenner, 65, has been sporting longer hair, fuller lips and manicured nails in recent months. It was reported last week that his transition will be chronicled on a docu-series that's set to air on E!

All of his children and stepchildren are said to be supportive of the decision to transition, according to reports.





It's somewhat surprising that Sawyer and ABC have landed the interview, since E! (the network that broadcasts Keeping Up with the Kardashians) is owned by NBC Universal. The interview with Sawyer will air in May, according to the New York Post.

Jenner married Kris Kardashian in 1991, and the two finalized their divorce in December.

My mistake, but I'm just curious to know and hopefully the interview can elaborate more on Bruce's decision to do this, hey more power to him, it's his life and he can do what he pleases but I just want to know what was the final straw that led to this?

Bruce Jenner's Mom is "More Proud of Him Than Ever"
2/4/15
by The Associated Press


With speculation flying, Bruce Jenner's mother opened up Wednesday about his gender journey.

Esther Jenner, 88, has been besieged by calls from the media in recent days, but the widow in Lewiston, Idaho, isn't interested in fueling gossip.



Instead, in a wide-ranging, nearly hour-long phone interview, she praised her Olympian son for his courage, stopping short of some details that have been floated by unnamed sources online and in tabloids.

Bruce Jenner, who won gold as a decathlete in the 1976 Summer Games, has not publicly spoken about transitioning to a woman. His appearance has gradually become more traditionally feminine.



A publicist for the 65-year-old Jenner would not comment about his mother's remarks. Nor would E! Entertainment on word that Jenner will appear in a reality series about his journey.

Here are some highlights from Esther Jenner's conversation with The Associated Press:









Have you spoken to Bruce recently about his transition?

It was brief and I said I was proud of him and that I'll always love him. I never thought I could be more proud of Bruce when he reached his goal in 1976, but I'm more proud of him now.

It takes a lot of courage to do what he's doing.





He has opened up in terms of his gender identity, which he is now owning, as opposed to hiding like so many transgender people have to do?

Is that right?

That's absolutely right. He said, "Mom, I'm still the same person." He said, "I'm still going to race cars, I'm still going to fly airplanes and I'm going to get my helicopter license."





How did it feel for him to come to you and explain?

When I first learned about it, yes, of course it was a surprise.





In a lot of cases, families really suffer from that kind of announcement.

The family is close and very supportive of Bruce and we're supportive of each other.





Was it a shock?

It was a shock. It's hard to wrap your mind around it.





How did he explain it to you?

He said, "I want to be honest about my identity and I know this is coming out in the press." He started by saying, "We need to have a long, serious talk."

I am at peace with what he is and what he's doing.

Kinda unrelated, but he was in a car accident just now.
