Leave it to Geraldo Rivera to attempt to sideline something as courageous and powerful as yesterday's introduction to Caitlyn Jenner.
The 71-year-old Fox News host went on Twitter earlier to send a message to his followers which took aim at the just-unveiled Vanity Fair cover shoot in an undeniably ignorant fashion.
Rivera attempted to throw shade at the moment that will surely go down in history—and not just for the LGBT community—by referencing Kim Kardashian's ex Kris Humphries.
Fortunately, his negative comment only proved how out of touch he is with the situation at hand—as if more proof was needed. And he wasn't the only celebrity to take jabs at yesterday's news. Timbaland posted a meme on Facebook poking fun at Caitlyn's name and Drake Bell tweeted (and then deleted) something in a similar fashion.
Both attempted to clarify their original posts, with Timbaland writing today on social media, "I didnt make the meme that was posted or said publicly what the meme said."
Yesterday, the Caitlyn made her first public appearance as a woman after images from her Annie Leibovitz cover were released by Vanity Fair.
(With the release of her Vanity Fair cover on June 1, Caitlyn has chosen to publicly identify as a woman and E! News will refer to her using female pronouns. In stories published prior to this date, Caitlyn was referred to as Bruce and male pronouns were used.)
During a behind-the-scenes video from the shoot, the 65-year-old Olympian is heard saying, "Bruce always had to tell a lie. He was always living that lie. Every day he always had a secret, from morning till night."
She continued, proudly, "Caitlyn doesn't have any secrets. As soon as the Vanity Fair cover comes out, I'm free."
Earlier this morning, the E! star admitted that she was stunned at how the images turned out.
"I mean these pictures…Vanity Fair, spared nothing doing it right, and the wardrobe, everything involved with it were just...the people were just great. It was, you know, two of the best days of my life. The pictures came out over-the-top great, you know, and I think people's reaction when they see it...I was always worried—you never wanted to look like a guy in drag. You never wanted to look like a guy in a dress, OK?"
