Caitlyn Jenner's 93-year-old mother, Esther Jenner, said Kris Jenner was "hyper-controlling" and made her daughter look "unassertive and spineless." 

In an interview with Daily Mail, Esther admitted that she still struggled to use the correct pronouns for her daughter. Defending her child, 70, she said that she still can't watch 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians': "I wasn’t fond of that program, there was no plot, and why it was such a hit I’ll never know, and I guess it still is."

Talking about Caitlyn's former wife, Kris, 64, she said "She [Kris] made him look like a milk-toast man! [meaning unassertive and spineless]." Although tensions with momager Kris, 64, still remain, Esther claimed that her daughter's relationship with the Kardashian-Jenner clan was "good but slow-moving."

Esther has always been supportive of Caitlyn ever since her transition began in 2017 from Bruce, a masculine Olympic athlete, to a female reality star. "It’s nothing she asked for, it’s a condition and it starts in the mother’s womb," she said.

Now all the concerned mother can hope for is that Caitlyn's competitors in 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here' would understand how difficult the road to becoming a woman was for her daughter. 

"The thing I know about Caitlyn, and I know her well, is that she has a lot of determination. How do you think she ever won that gold medal in decathlon?" she said. "When your child becomes, oh golly, world-famous, it’s very difficult for a mother to put them in that category, he’s not a celebrity to me, he’s my kid. It’s just very difficult, but I’m no different than any other mother, I love my kids."

It did not mean that Esther was a fan of the reality show that Caitlyn had become a part of. He said that watching the show was a "torture," especially since she would be unable to talk to her daughter every day on the phone. She also wished that the reality star would stick to spending her time playing golf rather than participating in any more shows. 

"That’s not entertainment to me, to see somebody frightened. I think she could spend a lot more pleasant times on the golf course!" she said. "I’ve tried not to think of Caitlyn being over there [in Australia]. It’s three weeks… a long time to go without hearing from her. When she’s in the States she calls me almost every day, so I’ve got to live without hearing her."
