Kathie Lee Gifford admits she’s sill coming to grips with Caitlyn Jenner’s transition
Kathie Lee Gifford has yet to meet Caitlyn Jenner but Bruce Jenner she thought she knew quite well.
It turns out that like the rest of the world, she did not.
Gifford, a co-host of NBC’s The Today Show, says Jenner’s transition from male to female came a complete surprise to her.
‘I never saw that coming at all. No no. Not in 35 or so years of being dear friends – we went around the world together as families,’ Gifford said this week on Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live.
Before Jenner’s widely-seen interview with ABC’s Diane Sawyer aired in May, Gifford says they spoke on the telephone after not having spoken in awhile. She and her husband, retired NFL great Frank Gifford, are godparents to Jenner’s two youngest daughters.
‘It was weird because it’s still Bruce’s voice but it’s coming out of Caitlyn’s mouth now,’ she said.
‘I don’t have gaydar at all so I’m certainly not going to have transgendergar – I just don’t. People are people to me.’
Of Jenner quickly becoming a fashion icon and world fascination Gifford said: ”I think it’s much easier to get used to it when you don’t know her as a person and I don’t know her. I’ll look forward to knowing her but it’s bizarre.
‘ … It’s a lot for people (who know her) to digest and I think they’re all trying really hard to and they’re trying to be loving. Bruce was one of the most loveable, adorable, sweetest guys in the world – that is all still there in Caitlyn. Let’s be honest, you’ve gotta come to grips with it somehow.’
