Caitlyn Jenner is known for being an Olympic Gold Medalist and reality television star. However, Jenner is now calling out Disney after being fired from the Hulu series The Kardashians.
Jenner claims this is because she was not “woke enough” for the studio. Additionally, Jenner called out Disney CEO Bob Iger in her tweet which was first written in response to Richard Grenell on X.
Here’s what she wrote:
“I wonder if that’s why they fired me from my family’s reality show when it switched over to Hulu (@Disney), from E!. I must not be woke enough. Too bad… I remember when Bob Iger was a young, hard working, valet, carrying my bags, for me right after I won the Olympics”
Jenner added the following tweet about how Disney dropped Jenner for reasons that were “purely political.”
“My ‘About Bruce’ specials on E! Were the highest rated in the franchise of KUWTK. Disney dropping me was purely political. I wasn’t woke enough for them, and Bob had no sense of loyalty after I gave them highest rated 2 HOUR 20/20 special on ABC, and massive boost to their ESPY ratings YoY when I spoke.”
Jenner then corrected their post to say it wasn’t the “most watched in the KUWTK franchise. The highest in 3 years for the show, to nearly 5M viewers for just part 1 of ‘About Bruce‘ with massive growth in the key demo.”

Nevertheless, the reasons for Caitlyn Jenner being fired from The Kardashians are unclear. Jenner has made it clear in the past that she is estranged from Kim Kardashian and her family other than Kylie and Kendall Jenner. As such, it’s possible that had more to do with the situation than Disney being upset with Jenner’s politics.
