Kylie Jenner: Did She Just Totally Diss Her Dad?

Oh, Kylie Jenner.


Perhaps you ought to stick to nearly-naked selfies near your shower.



The young reality star shared a throwback image on her official app today, one meant to pay tribute to her dad a few days prior to Father’s Day.


But some critics believe Kylie actually insulted Caitlyn Jenner when she meant to pay her respects instead.


The post in question is titled “Throwback Thursday: Daddy’s Girl,” and it includes the following message from Kylie to her famous dad:


“This #TBT is dedicated to my dad in honor of Father’s Day! I love you so much! Thank you for being you. :)”



It’s a very sweet notion, no doubt.


But it’s also a snapshot of Caitlyn back when she was Bruce Jenner, an identity this transgender star has said many times she was uncomfortable and unhappy with.


In April of last year, meanwhile, Kylie also selected an old picture of Bruce in a cropped t-shirt and tight Daisy Dukes to promote his coming-out interview with Diane Sawye.


Mere weeks after Caitlyn’s debut as Caitlyn, Kylie shared a “major throwback” to when she went to the 2003 Finding Nemo premiere with Bruce, Kris Jenner and sister Kendall Jenner.


Is this a big deal?


Is Kylie throwing shade at her father’s new identity? Is she not-so-subtly making it clear that she wishes Caitlyn had never become Caitlyn?


We doubt it.


Remember what Jenner told People Magazine last year of Caitlyn?


“She’s lived an amazing life, and she’s always done amazing things,” the Keeping Up with the Kardashians said in November.


“She’s such a good role model for so many people, and I know she wants to do so much good with what she’s doing.”


This may just be a case of Kylie having some fun with a throwback photo. We doubt she meant anything by it except for what she said:


She loves her dad very much.
