The internet was quick to react to Jenner's tweet and a user said, 'But you don’t really think it’s okay to disagree, read your own Twitter feed'

SAN FRANSISCO, CALIFORNIA: Caitlyn Jenner slammed Mark Zuckerberg's Meta on Tuesday, October 27, for banning her business manager and partner Sophia Hutchins. Though Jenner did not indicate why exactly she was banned, she tweeted that she was awaiting Elon Musk's Twitter to express her opinion freely. 

Jenner tweeted, "I am shamed of you @Meta targeting my biz manager/biz partner / and family for this. Shame on you. Cannot wait for @elonmusk to take over Twitter where all can speak freely." According to The Sun, Sophia, who is also a transgender woman, had once confirmed in July 2018 that she was dating Caitlyn, previously known as Bruce Jenner. However, in November 2020, Sophia claimed their relationship is "not sexual," and hence may have never been romantically involved.

However, according to Hello! Magazine, Sophia claimed, "We were never romantically involved. I don't feel a need to address my sex life, quite frankly, unless I want to." The business manager also stated on 'The Hidden Truth Show' podcast in 2019, "I wouldn't describe it as romantic. I would describe it as we're partners, business partners – I'm the executive director of her foundation." Sophia is currently the manager of Caitlyn and also the CEO of Lumasol, which is a lightweight and fast-absorbing broad-spectrum sunscreen. However, she previously managed the businesses of Jenner and remains the executive director of the Caitlyn Jenner Foundation, which aims to promote equality and combat discrimination by providing grants to organizations that empower and improve the lives of transgender people, including youth, anti-bullying, suicide prevention, healthcare, housing, employment, and related programs.

Elon Musk has been in talks with Twitter to buy one of the most popular social media platforms for a $44 billion deal. He was recently seen at the headquarters of Twitter in San Fransisco on Wednesday, October 28. According to NY Times, Free speech has been one of the main talk points of the billionaire as he decides to buy the platform. He has once tweeted, "By “free speech”, I simply mean that which matches the law. I am against censorship that goes far beyond the law. If people want less free speech, they will ask government to pass laws to that effect. Therefore, going beyond the law is contrary to the will of the people."

'Shut up Bruce' 

The internet was quick to react to Jenner's tweet backing Sophia. A user said, "But you don’t really think it’s okay to disagree….read your own Twitter feed." Another claimed, "Shut up Bruce !!."Another user said, "Greatly respect your support for her." A tweet read, "Caitlyn Jenner: The Candice Owen's of Trans people. " A user then stated, "A bunch of grown adults throwing a tantrum because they're getting downvoted on their favorite forum." Meanwhile, a user tweeted, "Love you Caitlyn." A tweet also read, "What did Meta do? You can't breathe over there unless you're a lefty. Look cross-eyed and it's straight to jail. Much like here."
