Kim Kardashian Breaks Down: ‘KUWTK’ Preview Shows Kim Kardashian Crying, Defending Mom

Kim Kardashian breaks down in a new preview for the Keeping Up With The Kardashians’ Bruce Jenner special (part two airs next week). According to the Huffington Post, the reality star is seen having a talk with her younger sisters, Kylie and Kendall Jenner, when she starts crying. So what made Kim so upset?

Kim was telling the girls about their mother’s reaction to Bruce Jenner’s decision to come out as a woman. Kim says that Kris Jenner has been having a very hard time with this, and that she “cries all the time.”

“I was thinking, ‘Mom this is really hard for her.’ It’s so sad. She cries all the time and it makes me really sad. We should really appreciate all the things she does for us, because she does a lot,” Kim tells Kendall and Kylie.

Kim Kardashian breaks down completely while sticking up for her mom, who has pretty much been ripped by the media since this Bruce Jenner transition thing went public (officially on Diane Sawyer a couple of weeks ago). As previously reported by the Inquisitr, Kris hasn’t said too much about Bruce’s real identity. For several weeks she stayed completely silent on the issue save for one tweet about her ex after the interview aired. Recently, she kept her comments about him short and sweet, wishing him happiness and nothing more. Many have been outraged that Kris hasn’t been more of a support system to Bruce (publicly). She allegedly refused to take part in his interview with Sawyer, and has been keeping her distance from him.

According to People Magazine, Bruce has stood up for his ex-wife even still.

“You know, Kris is a really good woman, and I love her to death. And the love and acceptance I have gotten from Kris is absolutely overwhelming,” he said in an earlier promo for the show.

Kim Kardashian breaks down in support of her mom, but it’s clear that she has really been supporting Bruce as best she can too. He even said that Kimberly was the most accepting, and the two have really bonded since Bruce came out.

Do you think Kim has a point? Should people see this from Kris’ perspective, and understand that she is “shocked” and confused? Or do you think Kris knew all along, and chose to turn a blind eye to avoid everything? Sound off in the comments below.
