Caitlyn Jenner Breaks Down In Viral Video: ‘It Was Really, Really Tough On Me’


Caitlyn Jenner breaks down in a video that is sweeping the internet, and the 65-year-old transgender role model showed a lot of emotion as she discussed the tremendous amount of love and support her fans have showed her as she took part in her highly publicized Vanity Fair cover shoot.

According to E! Online, a tearful Caitlyn was quoted as saying the following statement in regards to people understanding and supporting her journey to becoming a transgender woman.

“This is about your life, about who you are, and the last few days have been absolutely amazing. I had never thought that someday I would be able to do this… It’s been great. I hope with my honesty I can make it easier for somebody else down the line.”

It is a well-known fact that Caitlyn Jenner is, in just one month, one of the most talked about names in the world and probably arouses more interest than anyone else in the celebrity world. Hordes of paparazzi follow Caitlyn everywhere she goes, and she has documented this experience of a lifetime in a docu-series titled I Am Cait, which premiered Sunday night.

“I’ve basically been inside this house for three months. I haven’t really left,” Caitlyn said at the time her photoshoot — in which she introduced her new self to the world — was taking place.

Caitlyn says she usually goes out in public wearing a disguise and she also has to cover up in baggy clothes.

“It’s difficult because I can’t go out and be seen by the paparazzi. It was just hell. It was really, really tough on me.”

In the first episodes of I Am Cait, Caitlyn visits her mother as a woman for the first time. Esther Jenner admits that she “has gained a daughter,” but she still needs a lot of time to get used to it all. Kanye West also makes a special cameo along with his wife, Kim Kardashian.

At the end of the episode, Jenner visits the family of a transsexual teen who committed suicide. Caitlyn had a heartfelt conversation with the mother of Kyler Prescott, a transgender teen who was severely bullied by his peers and ended up taking his own life. In honor of Prescott, Caitlyn and his mother traveled to a beachside park, where they released balloons. According to Us Weekly, Caitlyn Jenner also spoke to a few of Kyler’s friends who had also contemplated suicide.

“Seek help,” Caitlyn told the teens. “You just have to get through the day.”
