Caitlyn Jenner says Kanye has been 'most kind and loving' to her but she could only see his meltdown helplessly
After weeks of drama that surrounded the Kardashian-Jenner family due to Kanye West’s presidential bid and public meltdowns, Caitlyn Jenner has finally broken her silence. During her appearance on ‘Good Morning Britain’, the 70-year-old said she has not met or spoken to West in recent times, but added that the rapper has always been a “kind and loving human being”.
In the August 3 episode of the show, Caitlyn was speaking to her ‘I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!’ co-star Kate Garraway from her Malibu home. When Garraway asker her about West’s White House run, the television personality said: “Well, honestly I don't know. Since all of this has come down, I have just kind of watched it just like everybody else. I haven't had a chance [to speak to him], he is living up in Wyoming most of the time.”
She continued: “I just wish him the best. I made that as a joke about being his VP when he announced that. But I hope for the best for him. He's a really good guy. The only thing I can talk about is really how he treated me through everything and he has been the most kind, loving human being and so good to me throughout the years and especially going through everything I've been going through in the last five years. He's been such a good friend. He has been extremely supportive. Kanye has got a big heart... he's a good person.”
However, when Caitlyn was asked about the situation in the US, she declined to respond and said, “'I don't even want to discuss or talk about politics anymore." Caitlyn also talked about her coronavirus lockdown experience and admitted that she “snuck out” of London in March. “When this whole thing came down, I was actually in London when the quarantine started. Boy, this was a long time ago now, [I] snuck out, I had to leave two days early. I came back to here, to the US, I had no idea what we were going to be going through, it's just been so difficult on so many people,” she said. “This is honestly one of the first things I've done since this whole thing started. It's been tough, tough on a lot of people.”
Later in the show, the retired Olympic gold medal-winning decathlete said that she is spending “a lot of time on the golf course. My house has never been cleaner and my property has never been in better shape, because that is what I do… I am very good at keeping myself busy. That's been good. But I just like working and I just like doing things.”
Caitlyn also responded to the Covid-19 in the US and said: “I am the eternal optimist, I can handle anything. I haven't had fears for myself, the mask thing kind of drove me crazy for the longest time. Now I wear it if I'm at a public place or going into Starbucks. Because I don't want them to close the damn Starbucks again if I go in without a mask, I want the coffee shop to stay open… it's difficult for everybody, you want to do the best.”
“You certainly don't want to transmit the disease, I've been tested a couple of times and always tested negative, just because of things I've had to do. It's a different world, I want to go back to the old world!... I think here in the US, a lot of it is political. We have an election coming up, it seems everything right now is politics, politics, politics,” she added.
