Caitlyn Jenner recently made headlines when she seemingly pleaded for Elon Musk’s legal backing to fight Disney after being dropped from “The Kardashians.” However, it turns out that the reality star is not actually pursuing legal action against the entertainment giant. Sources with direct knowledge of the situation have confirmed that Caitlyn has no plans to sue Disney and was merely shining a light on her experience with the studio by commenting on Musk’s original post.
In her comment under Elon Musk’s post, Caitlyn mentioned that Hulu, a Disney subsidiary, never included her in her family’s show, “Keeping Up With The Kardashians,” when it switched from E!. This statement sparked speculation that she was serious about suing Disney over discrimination. However, it now appears that the comment was more of a reflection on her disappointment with the situation rather than a concrete plan for legal action.
While Caitlyn currently has no intentions of taking Elon Musk up on his offer to provide legal support, sources reveal that she may revisit the idea if any bombshell information emerges from the Kardashians’ reality show on Hulu that undermines her. It’s important to note that Caitlyn was a mainstay on the original E! series for almost all of its 20 seasons, but did not appear in the revamped version when it moved over to Hulu in 2022.
This is not the first time Caitlyn has expressed her frustration over being excluded from the Disney-backed show. Last month, when political consultant Richard Grenell criticized the network for its “partisan” stance, Caitlyn replied, questioning whether her lack of “wokeness” was the reason for her dismissal. She also made a tongue-in-cheek comment about Bob Iger, referencing their past interactions when he was a valet carrying her bags after her Olympic victory.
Elon Musk’s involvement in this conversation stems from his funding of former “Mandalorian” actress Gina Carano’s lawsuit against Disney+. Carano claims that she was wrongfully terminated from her job after expressing her political views on social media. Musk’s offer to provide legal support to those who feel discriminated against by Disney or its subsidiaries has sparked interest and debate within the industry.
Contrary to initial speculation, there is no pending court date between Caitlyn Jenner and Disney at the moment. While Caitlyn may not have found a place in “The Kardashians” on Hulu, she has embarked on a new venture as a Fox News contributor for FOX. Despite the disappointment in her reality TV career, Caitlyn seems to be enjoying her role as a commentator.
Caitlyn Jenner’s plea for legal backing against Disney should be taken with a grain of salt. While her comments may have initially suggested a legal battle, sources close to the situation clarify that she currently has no plans to sue. However, the possibility of revisiting the idea in the future remains open. As the entertainment industry continues to grapple with issues of discrimination and representation, the conversation sparked by Elon Musk’s offer to support those who feel discriminated against continues to gain attention. For Caitlyn, her focus has shifted from reality TV to her new role as a contributor for FOX, where she is finding fulfillment in her work.
