There’s a new Bruce Jenner in town and yes, he’s completely male. Mark Behar who used to work for the Kardashian family as a bodyguard has announced that he has changed his name to Bruce Jenner.
The Palm Beach actor said he wanted people to continue to associate the name with the Olympic medals Caitlyn Jenner won when she was known by it.
The new Jenner said he is against people thinking the medals were won by Caitlyn Jenner [the actual person who won them].
He said: “This name once stood for America, and I just want to keep it alive.”
“I’ve been seeing so many idols and athletes and icons die because of stupid stuff like drugs, die because of age … We’re losing icons. We’re losing names. We’re losing people faster than we ever have.”
Someone should have mentioned that names aren’t just erased from medals just because they die.
He fought against Caitlyn, who publicly revealed her transition on the cover of Vanity Fair in 2015, in a charity boxing match in the episode.
Apparently having no idea that gender and sexual orientation are not linked, Bruce Jenner went on: “I am not anti-gay and I have no problem with him changing his sex, but the way he did it, in my mind it was not proper. It was all for hype.”
