Ian Halperin, the author of “Kardashian Dynasty: The Controversial Rise of America’s Royal Family,” claims multiple sources have told him Caitlyn Jenner wants to de-transition, but Jenner’s rep says that isn’t true.
The Wrap reports Halperin has heard from sources close to the Kardashian family that Jenner wants her old life back.
“One source confirmed to me Caitlyn has made whispers of ‘sex change regret,’ hinting she might go back to being Bruce Jenner,” Halperin told The Wrap.
Halperin also claims Jenner’s friend told him Jenner might de-transition in the near future.
“It hasn’t been easy for Caitlyn, it’s been very hard. She’s thrilled she has raised awareness about how transgender people have long been discriminated against but I think there’s a chance she’ll de-transition in the next couple years,” the friend told Halperin.
“I don’t think it would surprise anybody in her inner circle. It has been much harder than she anticipated. My heart goes out to her and I know her true friends will be there to support her on whatever path she chooses,” the friend continued.
Halperin also says Jenner is still interested in women and is looking for the right one. Jenner has spoken about her interest in dating men on her series “I Am Cait.” The biography makes other claims such as the 66-year-old reality show star’s ex-wife Kris Jenner knowing about then-Bruce’s desire to transition and forcing him into religious conversion therapy.
Jenner’s representative told the New York Daily News these reports were false.
“Not worth commenting on such an idiotic report,” the rep told the New York Daily News on Thursday. “Of course it’s not true.”
