We know Caitlyn Jenner’s public transition to womanhood was difficult for Kris Jenner.
And we know there was some animosity between the two during their divorce.
But now Caitlyn reveals to AOL’s Makers that her then-wife tried to suppress her transgender nature while they were married.
The I Am Cait star says Kris forbade her to dress as a woman at home.
“The rules, kind of, for Kris and I were don’t dress up, certainly around the house,” said Caitlyn.
She reveals that Kris instructed her to “do that” while traveling.
“‘If you really feel the need to do that, when you’re on the road take stuff and do that,"” Kris would say, according to Cait.
And that’s exactly what Caitlyn did.
For years, she says.
“I’d go on the road for speaking engagements, take a bunch of stuff, dress up at the hotel, walk around, do whatever I wanted to do, just to feel a little bit better about myself,” she said.
“And I kind of dealt with it that way.”
The transgender icon also discloses that for a time, Kris indulged Caitlyn and the couple would dress up together.
“Kris and I had dressed up a few times at the beginning but then she didn’t want anymore part of that and I respected that and kind of kept it away,” Cait added. “But it was always there.”
“But a lot of times, too, when you have somebody in your life that’s diminishing that, you can deal with it, but it gets tougher and tougher and tougher with time.”
Earlier this year, author Ian Halperin wrote that during their marriage, Kris had tried to “cure” Caitlyn (then Bruce) of being transgendered with religious therapy.
But we take that with a grain of salt, because the dubious scribe also claimed that Caitlyn was hooking up with Lamar Odom.
