Bruce Jenner has been all over the news in recent months on the heels of his revelation that he will undergo a gender transition later this year and become a woman. Aside from the fact that Jenner is a former Olympic gold medalist, he is also part of one of the most popular reality shows around, and the reactions of his family have made almost as many headlines as the announcement itself.

The story is so compelling that even the stuff that does not get said makes the news. According to E! Online, Us Weekly has retracted a story that featured several quotes from Kendall Jenner after she denied having ever said any of them.
The quotes in question revolve around Bruce's gender identity. "He's a wonderful man. And just because he's changing shoes now, so to speak, doesn't make him less wonderful," Us Weekly originally reported the 19-year-old having said. "I will always love my dad, whether he's a man or a woman."

Shortly after the story was published, Kendall told ET that the interview never happened and called the quotes "100% false."
She also took to Twitter to express her displeasure with the entire situation:
Shame on US Weekly for making up quotes. I NEVER said those things. I never spoke to them.

how is it legal for someone to "quote" someone and publish it if in fact you never said what was quoted. — Kendall Jenner (@KendallJenner) March 18, 2015
The story has been retracted, and the magazine issued an apology statement, indicating that the accuracy of the story by freelance reporter that conducted the interview may have been verifiable.
Bruce Jenner does have plans to sit down in May with Diane Sawyer and tell the whole story from his point of view.
