I’m A Celeb viewers divided over Caitlyn Jenner’s comments about relationship with step-daughter Khloé

The pair aren't on speaking terms

Caitlyn Jenner left I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! viewers divided when she opened up about her transition and revealed she hasn’t spoken to step-daughter Khloé in years.

During last night’s (28.11.19) episode, American reality star Caitlyn said Khloé – whose parents are Caitlyn’s ex Kris Jenner and lawyer Robert Kardashian – hasn’t spoken to her in five or six years.

In a candid chat with her campmates, Caitlyn looked sad as she said she “practically raised” Khloé but the pair haven’t been on speaking terms for some time.

Caitlyn explained, as she told her campmates what it was like coming out as trans to her children: “The only one that was really… and I still even to today can’t figure it out, was Khloé. Khloé, for some reason, was [bleeped] off about something through this whole process. Honestly, it’s been five, six years and I really haven’t talked to her since.”

Ian Wright asked: “Caitlyn, do you think she’s more thinking about herself, she’s not thinking about you?”

Caitlyn said: “I don’t know what it is and that’s all I can say. We never… and Khloé and I were really close. I raised Khloé since she was five years old. I don’t know what her issues are. I really don’t.”

A number of viewers took to Twitter to slam Khloé for not speaking to Caitlyn, with one writing: “So mad how Khloé is always preaching about good energy and forgiveness but hasn’t talked to Caitlyn in 5-6 years? #ImACeleb #imacelebrity.”

Another said: “Regardless of what’s went on or been said, Khloe Kardashian should grow up at the end of the day, time’s precious with family, why waste it over something that just needs to be accepted that Caitlyn is who she is? #ImACeleb.”

A third tweeted: “I’m not surprised that out of all Caitlyn’s kids, Khloé was the one that took her transition the worst #imaceleb.”

A fourth wrote: “So sad to hear that @Caitlyn_Jenner and Khloé have struggled to repair their relationship. Loving Caitlyn, she’s so true to herself and really isn’t that much different to Bruce in personality, just appearance. She is definitely my winner.”

But others were annoyed at Caitlyn painting Khloé in a bad light and blasted her for not telling the full story, as they pointed out that Khloé not speaking to her had nothing to do with her transition.

“Here we have Caitlyn playing victim again,” someone tweeted, adding: “Khloé stopped talking to her because of the way Caitlyn treated her mother in that book of lies #ImACeleb.”

So sad to hear that Caitlyn and Khloé have struggled to repair their relationship.

Another said: “Khloé isn’t a transphobe and if you’ve followedthe Kardashians/Jenners for a while, you’d know that she has her reasons to be mad at Caitlyn and it’s nothing to do with her transition. #ImACeleb.”

“Caitlyn is trying to make Khloé out to be a bad person the same way she did with Kris in her book,” said a third.
