During a20/20interview in 2015 with Diane Sawyer, Jenner came out as transgender, and made her public debut as a woman on the cover ofVanity Fairshortly after.
Caitlyn would only talk about the transition to the family on camera at first, according to Khloé, who speculated: “Maybe he felt like we couldn’t get as upset or something.”
She also said her initial reaction to the news was wanting to ask Jenner to “just stop lying to us about things,” adding, “Just lay it on the table, what are we doing? What’s happening? Even then he didn’t tell us … we didn’t know when he was going to start fully dressing as Caitlyn.”
In the season 12 premiere ofKeeping Up with the Kardashiansin 2016, Jenner responded to his stepdaughter’s interview with Stern through angry texts. After the conversation, Kardashian called her mother,claiming that she was donewith Caitlyn.

Kardashian and Jenner had an intense heart-to-heart conversation during a season 13 episode ofKeeping Up with the Kardashians, during which Kardashian revealed she has “a ton of opinions and feelings about Cait. But before Caitlyn, there was Bruce, and Bruce was in my life for like 24 years.”
Over a glass of wine in Kardashian’s home, Jenner admitted: “I just really feel like over the last year and a half we certainly have grown apart. Day after day, after month after month, nobody calls, nobody checks in. Just, ‘Hey, how are you doing?’ You can’t help but sit there and think, ‘Okay, is it because I transitioned? They don’t like me anymore?’ I want to know what I did wrong, what I didn’t do wrong, what I did right, and move forward.”
But at the time, Kardashian said Jenner didn’t think she necessarily “did anything wrong” during her transition.
“‘Cause, I don’t know, if just because you didn’t do something the way maybe I would have preferred that makes it wrong. In this family, we deal with things very quickly. We don’t have time to really process a lot of things because we’re always on to the next,” Kardashian said. “For me, at the time, I just wasn’t at a place in my life where I really could invest in new relationships.”
Kardashian added, “For me, you’re all I remember — Bruce was. So not having you in my life, it’s a huge blow because I’m like okay, my second dad, this guy that I’ve grown up with, that raised me, was taken away from me. No one really let me have that.”
Then, in her bookSecrets of My Life, which was released in April 2017, Jenner claims that ex-wife Kris knew more about her gender identity crisis than she’s publicly admitted. The claim caused further tension between Khloé and Caitlyn.
And in a2017 interviewwithGood Morning Britain,Caitlyn said she’s proud of the book but “unfortunately, the Kardashians, and particularly Kris, didn’t react that way,” adding, “I went overboard to be nice, to be friendly, to be open, but also tell my story and my side of the story. Since the book came out, I’ve never talked to Kris again. Kim, I haven’t talked to in six, nine months, whatever it is.”

“No, I don’t think that affects anything with Caitlyn. [Things are] just as they are,” the mom of one said.
2019
Kardashian said she was “fine with Caitlyn” during an episode of Laura Wasser’sDivorce Suckspodcastin May 2019. “I saw Caitlyn recently, trying to think when, but yeah when I see Caitlyn it’s fine. I think we’ve really come a long way. Itwas a struggle for all of us… not because she was transitioning. I think from just how it was all handled.”
Kardashian continued, “But I also think, when your emotions die down, you’re able to really look at everything and be like, ‘We’re all humans and we’re all trying to figure this out.’ ”
However, when sister Kylie set up adinner for Caitlyn at Nobu in Malibuin October, which she documented on her Instagram Story, Khloé was not there. Instead, she said she had been “shooting a commercial all day.”
During a November episode ofI’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!, Caitlyn spoke with her castmates about living life in the Kardashian-Jenner family’s spotlight and explained that she came out to all of her children first, starting with her son Brandon.
Then theI Am Caitstar claimed that her relationship with Khloé, 35, has been strained ever since. “The only one that was really — and I still, even to today, can’t quite figure it out — was Khloé,” she shared. “Khloé for some reason was pissed off about something through this whole process. Honestly, it’s been five, six years and I really haven’t talked to her since.”
Jenner added, “I don’t know what it is, and that’s all I can say. And Khloé and I were really close. I raised Khloé since she was 5 years old. I don’t know what her issues are, I really don’t know.”
