Dr. Phil stopped by Jimmy Kimmel on Wednesday, April 22, where the two discussed Bruce Jenner's upcoming special with Diane Sawyer, and his gender transition from male to female. "I was wondering if it breaks your heart that Bruce Jenner is going to speak to Diane Sawyer on Friday night instead of coming to your show," Kimmel asked the talk show host.
"It would be boring to talk to me about that," Dr. Phil replied. "First off, I would say, 'Look. If it's what you want to do... do it! What the hell's it matter what anybody else thinks?' That would be my point." While the audience applauded his open response, Dr. Phil figured the remaining hour and 59 minutes would be devoted to why the former Olympian waited this long to transition.
"You're almost 80, what's the point?" Dr. Phil noted. "This is a theoretical exercise, right? I don't know. He's kind of past prime for like... right?"
Kimmel then noted Jenner's illustrious history as an Olympic decathlon gold medalist. "I wouldn't put anything past him," Kimmel said. "I mean, he may be a champion in the bed as well!"
Despite his earlier words, Dr. Phil said he's personally met the Keeping Up With the Kardashians patriarch. "I'll tell you what," he said. "He's a hell of a nice guy." The conversation around Jenner continues to escalate ahead of his buzzed-about sit-down interview with ABC News veteran Sawyer.
CBS' Inside Edition spoke to Jenner's high school sweetheart this week about the news of his transition. "I would never have thought that in a million years, knowing him from high school," his prom date and old girlfriend Michelle Rosenthal noted. "The Bruce I remember was happy-go-lucky. Nice guy, friendly with everybody, popular. The few times I’ve seen him on [KUWTK], he just didn’t look happy." Jenner's two-hour interview with Sawyer will air this Friday, April 24, at 9 p.m. ET.
I should care, why? I find the whole thing as interesting as ice melting.
Wow, what a “Doctor” this guy is.
Q: “Doctor Phil, I want to pluck out my eyeballs and live in a hole in the ground, because I feel I am really a mole on the inside...”
A: “Look. If it’s what you want to do... do it! What the hell’s it matter what anybody else thinks?”
Doesn’t he have to go to Thialand for the Full Monty?
Trust me, you really don’t want to know the details of all that.
Isn’t the estrogen is what’s causing that in the first place...
What a sad, pathetic slide into depression and mental illness. It’s horrible and just criminal that the only help he gets from medical professionals is affirmation that his choice is valid (pfffft!) and schedules for hormonal treatments and surgeries. Just once, it would be refreshing for some doctor to stand up and say, “No, this is not a good idea. This is not normal, no matter what everyone else says, and you need help.” But those days are long gone, I suppose.
menopausal???
He’s got more than just an estrogen issue....lots more!
Maybe Bruce is self-identifying as a woman so he can win some Olympic medals now in the women's events.
Living with the Kardashian women can do this to a man.
I am finding the entire world very strange. But, our culture in particular seems to be getting stranger at a more rapid pace than we've previously experienced.
If I was going to turn myself into a chick, I would buy better boobs.
I had a friend who at 50 got breast reduction. Surgery. She said if she was going to pay all that money, she wanted them to look like she was a twenty year old. And they look great.
Why can’t Bruce so that’s? Instead he looks like an old khazikstan milk woman.
Go take a hot dog out of the fridge. Put it in the microwave for about six minutes. Then let your imagination finish the picture.
Maybe Bruce wants to be a cougar.
It took 32 posts for the obvious to be stated.
No doubt that living in the freak tent at the circus had a lot to do with bringing out his mental defect.
My first reaction is total revulsion to this but after I consider how tortured his soul must be to think he can find peace or joy in this kind of self mutilation , I feel nothing but pity for him.
Such a sad and sorry soul
