10:15 "it's a difficult thing to comprehend... but we don't have to understand something in order to accept it and be kind about it" - exactly. Good for her :-)

[@jacquelinepaul9731]

The more I see and listen of this lady (and ive watched lots of interviews) the more impressed I am...such a class act..articulate..compassionate..reasoned...and still gorgeous !!.

[@TheDetroitCast]

Glad you liked Linda. This was just part of our interview with her. Here's the link to the entire thing: detroitcast.com/interview/linda-thompson-author-little-thing-called-life/

[@yumifuentes4381]

Jacqueline Paul I agree one hundred percent

[@yumifuentes4381]

This woman is so amazing. I love Broady. His son with Linda. So in love. He’s gorgeous

[@stephenhopkins9541]

Jenner is a dead beat dad. Linda is a great lady.

[@ernarc23]

She sounds like a nice lady. Very compassionate. What a shock it must have been.

[@vickygoodrich4761]

You are some kind of special lady. Your children couldn't be blessed more to have a mother like you. You obviously done a wonderful job parenting them all by yourself. Im.sure you look and them and feel proud and you most certainly should. What a wonderful lady, mother and most of all human being. You inspire me!

[@BedfordFalls7]

I think Linda is quite a Lady. She has so much warmth and class. She doesn't criticize Bruce. She tells the truth about everything. She is a beautiful person. More people like her are needed in this world. I wish Bruce and Linda could have worked, but Bruce is who he is. I love her. Wish the Best for her and her family. Bruce also.

[@GreatRhyno]

Melinda Smith aww me too ,thinking the same thing

[@nevilleherd4334]

She’s all class a beautiful woman inside and out from New Zealand 🇳🇿

[@GuessMyName234]

Have you not read the book?

[@terriduesler9460]

Linda appears to be an extremely old soul. Very loving and accepting...Quite a compassionate and forgiving person, even though he shucked his fatherly duties...amazing!

[@dirtfacewithmikeandjay5324]

Hi Terri. Glad you enjoyed this part of our talk with Linda. You can hear that entire interview and other interesting ones here: detroitcast.com/interview/linda-thompson-author-little-thing-called-life/

[@GreatRhyno]

terri duesler i was thinking the same ,so if she knew all this how could Kris not know she claims she knew nothing her life was a lie ,kartrashions ugh, love Caitlin, thank you Linda very nice

[@peacetoall1201]

Linda is a transgender herself ... can you not see that? "She" was born male ... "she" has a male skeleton and skull.

[@trissloan2340]

Ms. Thompson is a class act, first rate. She did not accept alimony and held Bruce's secret for decades; not revealing it until after Caitlyn did. Also, the Memphis Mafia all say she was genuine, best thing that happened to Elvis. I like she says, " I am not sexually attracted to women."❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🐝🐞💐💐💐💐🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻💐

[@blakelaurie7865]

Such a classy woman, mad respect for Linda!

[@dirtfacewithmikeandjay5324]

[@debrarowley4447]

Life can take some strange and complex turns. I admire Thompson and Jenner -- they are both great people.

[@loridee1182]

I admire her, she is a perfect lady.

[@debbiestrom6842]

Great Interview Linda! Your perspective and class shines thru for your boys. I just think Bruce may of had issues in his Childhood that effectively caused some of this stuff. I wish him as much clarity as he can Get. ALL the kids need a strong dad fugure period, too bad he is not feeling it.

[@dadyarusski4594]

Linda gave a very warm interview. Very interesting,

[@dirtfacewithmikeandjay5324]

Glad you liked the interview, Deidre. This was only one part of it. You can hear the rest here: detroitcast.com/interview/linda-thompson-author-little-thing-called-life/

[@jamesk8s1]

HIGHLY EVOLVED SOUL

[@Nadeshiroo]

To Linda I am a Tennessee girl also and I am proud of having you as Miss Tennessee I am so sorry for all that went wrong in your life I have had a good life but also a tragic life and I won't to say thank you for being a role model for me which I am a little younger lol it I have always thought you were different thank you for always having a positive attitude and seeming as tone always gappy

[@candacekesting1786]

wonderful person !

[@annamariafacchiano1688]

great lady!!!

[@Mademoiselle_Co_]

Forgiveness is admirable and honorable of this woman, continuing to support him was her upholding her duties of her love for him, but he was wrong to involve her in his mixed up life knowing he had those extreme issues. Wicked intentions- Jenner's desires to transition whilst married to a Christian woman as he was deceptively taking female hormones as she is bearing his children was wicked of him. For him to even marry her was evil of him knowing what his intentions were with total disregard for her and their children's future. As far as transgenders, I don't care what they want to do as long as it doesn't violate others, as any segment of society, be what you want, be respectful of other peoples lives and futures.

[@aprilgant2891]

Classy and intelligent!

[@kimberlymason7080]

wow, she is amazing!

[@melmo923]

They went to the wrong therapist. What a tragic story!

[@moodyblues8781]

I wish Linda could have had her 2 children with Elvis... lol How lovely!!!

[@parisdupree8940]

I feel bad for Linda! First she is with Elvis and spends years taking care of him then she finally finds love with Bruce Jenner and he wants to be a woman!

[@ahr3676]

She really played the part well pre -transition

[@Chrisoula17]

I'm still having a hard time with his transition. He was so masculine. There was nothing feminine about him in the Olympics.

[@kareno6222]

Smart and sensitive lady

[@lindamoore3729]

Linda, that had too be crazy!

[@annetteelliott1494]

❤

[@millieabrams9967]

Linda is a classy lady! Read or listen to her book!

[@diannecorreia2512]

Rather hear about her and Elvis

[@robbiedean9916]

How do you go from being with Elvis the worlds greatest singers, to the world's greatest sportsman, and who did you run with to know or meet them, all bc of being Miss Tennessee. Who else do you know ?

[@KJ-xc6qs]

So Bruce married Kris while he was on female hormones, and had 36B breasts. 🤔🙄

[@ompaloompa4970]

It's really sickening that he tramatized Linda with his craziness wanting to be a woman.😵 I would have made Bruce pay for life long counseling for Linda after that.

[@SnowWhite-lk2zc]

And then went of to have kids with another woman and hurting her the same 🤢then wins woman of the year 🤢bruh what's wrong with this world

[@janalynn1390]

He was taking female hormone shots so wouldn't that have a contributing factor. He also said he was never attracted to men. This is very disturbing.

[@gretchenmreminting2887]

Yep, I SOo... understood Linda's admiration 4 Bruce!!;

[@nGUNNARp]

so he has 2 kids under 4 years old and then tells his wife about it....so no matter what you say about him/her, they're a liar and a piece of shit for keeping something like that from someone, essentially tricking them into having your children.

[@bonniemagpie9960]

Linda is Gemini ♊ born during the year of The Tiger 🐅 as was Marilyn Monroe. A malignant entity got into Bruce when he was a child.

[@neildickson5394]

A lovely, compassionate woman. If only the whole world could be as mature and open to love as her. The only comment I have an issue with is Elvis. He may not have been gay, but I think he certainly experimented. Especially with Nick Adams, well known actor, and forner hustler.

[@annkristinpowell2296]

Love and peace,if anyone can wish another that will we all have the much better.And be more big some human.

[@moodyblues8781]

I never knew all this about not being there for the kids and Linda.... Bruce sure talked a Big talk on The Kardashians show!!! He bragged many times about raising the girls as his own.. Blah! Blah! BS!!!

[@dirtfacewithmikeandjay5324]

Hi. Glad you enjoyed this part of our talk with Linda. You can hear that entire interview and other interesting ones here: detroitcast.com/interview/linda-thompson-author-little-thing-called-life/

[@seliaortiz3809]

he should have never lied to these wonderful women news says he wants to go back maybe fake

[@amrose4214]

She put up with alot esp men in her life having to deal with Elvis on drugs and then had to leave him when it became too much. Bruce struggles of wanting to be a woman then keeping that secret for long time. It probably a weird twist of fate that he stayed in that man body for so long to have kids till well they all grown up cause uh may be female in the brain but the body is still kind of male. Not really important weither Kris knew earlier on the 3rd date probably just well Bruce made the decision to hold off for whatever reasons maybe they wanted more kids, his image as athlete most important to him, maybe he loved Kris alot sounds like as Bruce he was good person, but Caityln who knows.
