How is Bruce Jenner feeling after telling Diane Sawyer—and millions of television viewers—that he is transitioning from male to female? Let Kim Kardashian explain.
When the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star appeared Thursday's Jimmy Kimmel Live! to promote her book, she said Bruce is "doing really well" now that his secret is out. "He is so happy. I think it's a sense of relief from all of the amazing support he's felt. It's a really great thing to come out and be so truthful and to have all of that support, I think just meant the world to him—and our whole family."
During his TV interview, Bruce said Kim has been the "most accepting" of his transition. The Olympian, 65, also told Diane that his stepdaughter gave him style tips, telling him, "You're representing the family. You gotta look really good."
However, Kim's offer to help came with a caveat.
"I said, 'The only thing is, whatever you do, do not steal my glam team. They are mine!' There's too many girls in this family!" Kim, 34, recalled. "I did tell him that, and I said, 'Whatever help you need, you need to look and feel your best, and if you need anything, style-wise, glam-wise, I am here to help you.'"
(Bruce advised Diane that in the context of Friday's interview, he should still be referred to by the male pronouns "he" and "him." At this time, Bruce has not chosen to publicly identify as a woman and so E! News will continue to refer to the athlete as Bruce and use male pronouns, until he indicates otherwise.)
During her Jimmy Kimmel Live! chat, Kim also dished on her coffee table book, Selfish. Jimmy Kimmel flipped to his favorite section, telling her, "You can see the black pages here are the ones where you're naked and in a bra."
"I think girls, to be honest, they take a lot of nude selfies. I think some of them, I'll look back and think, 'God, why would I complain about feeling fat?' I liked the way I looked then," Kim said. "So, it's taught me to be a little easier on myself. And then there's some when right after I had my daughter, a couple months after, I was really feeling myself and feeling back in shape, so I took some lingerie selfies."
Kim even published the photographs that were hacked last year.
"Did you ever figure out how somebody got in?" Jimmy asked.
"I know everything. If I see a photo, I know exactly where I was, what I was doing, what I was wearing, who did my makeup—like, everything! And I had no idea—it sounds really bad and I shouldn't admit this—I have no idea where those photos came from, where I was," the E! reality star confessed. "I sent them to my friends, like, 'You guys, investigate this. What's in the background? Where was I? Do you guys remember this hotel? Anything?' I pinpointed it down. It was 2010, because I had a white BlackBerry that was released at that time. And I don't have iCloud and it's taken on a BlackBerry, so I'm confused how that was a part of the iCloud leak. I'm not going to try to tell on myself, but I just posted it."
