Caitlyn Jenner has taken a lot of flack over the last few months thanks to her coservative political views and her public bashing of Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton. However, serious critics aren’t the pnly ones taking shots at Jenner. Reports say that legendary funnyman Dave Chappelle recently made Jenner the butt of his jokes during a comedy show this weekend.
According to media reports, the incident happened when Chappelle did a stand-up performance at the Hollywood Palladium. Sources say that Chappelle dedicated nearly seven minutes of his show to roasting Jenner. Reportedly, Chappelle joked about growing up as a kid and seeing Bruce Jenner at the Olympics as a “Superman” who was “beating Africans” at track and field back in the ’70s.
Chappelle also joked that he had a clue about Bruce Jenner transitioning into Caitlyn because he ran into Caitlyn’s stepson, Kanye West, at one point and asked him “I said, Kanye … why the long face? And Kanye replied, ‘Man, you’ll see.’ ”
The sources say that the latter joke had the whole venue in tears. However, one person who reportedly wasn’t crying tears of laughter was Kylie Jenner.
Sources say that Kylie and her boyfriend, Tyga, were in the building during Chappelle’s stand-up routine. And although Tyga was laughing at Chappelle’s jokes about Caitlyn, Kylie wasn’t laughing at all. Sources say that the young Jenner remained stone-faced throughout Chappelle’s routine and that she remained looking displeased after the show was done and she was leaving the venue with Tyga.
Well, if the reports are true, then we can understand why Kylie still feels sensitive about what people say in public about her dad. We also wonder what the car ride home was like for Tyga since he allegedly laughed at the Caitlyn jokes.
In any case, Chappelle isn’t the first person to make light of Caitlyn’s transformation and he certainly won’t be the last.
