Jenner ‘doesn’t understand what being a woman is about’

Makes Statement0 Comments

McGowan pens an open letter on Facebook about Jenner’s acceptance speech for Glamour’s Woman of the Year award:

Caitlyn Jenner you do not understand what being a woman is about at all. You want to be a woman and stand with us – well learn us. We are more than deciding what to wear. We are more than the stereotypes foisted upon us by people like you. You’re a woman now? Well f***ing learn that we have had a VERY different experience than your life of male privilege.

May face manslaughter charge

Makes Statement0 Comments

Detectives will present evidence to the prosecution that could lead to a misdemeanor manslaughter charge against Jenner. Because there’s “nothing really egregious” in the case, the L.A. County Sheriff’s Dept. says there’s a “50/50” chance that she will be charged. A misdemeanor manslaughter charge usually carries a one-year jail sentence.

West praises Jenner

Makes Statement0 Comments

West and Kardashian meet with Jenner for the first time following her transition on E!’s I Am Cait. West:

One of the strongest things that have happened in our existence as human beings that are controlled by perception. You couldn’t have been up against more: Like, your daughter is a supermodel, you’re a celebrity, you have every type of thing, and it was still like, ‘f— everybody, this is who I am.’

ET releases surveillance camera images of Jenner’s crash. The images, shot from two angles by security cameras on a passing public bus, appear to show Jenner’s Cadillac Escalade, which was towing a trailer carrying an off-road vehicle, hitting both a white Lexus, driven by Howe, and a black Prius. Howe collides with a black Hummer, and dies in the crash. Jenner’s attorney:

As part of a reasonable investigation, we have seen parts of an MTA bus video, and when all of the photographic and video evidence of this tragic accident, and all available witness information, is made available to us, we will be in a better position to make fair comments.
