Steve Harvey on Bruce Jenner Being Transgender: 'I Have No Concept of What That Means'
Bruce Jenner is drawing praise from celebrities across the Internet for his interview with Diane Sawyer, but at least one person is less than impressed with the former Olympian's journey with gender identity.
While most are applauding Jenner for being brave, Steve Harvey has a different perspective. “Everybody says it’s the bravest things they’ve seen, that’s the politically correct thing to say,” the Emmy-winning talk show host told HipHollywood.com regarding the interview, which was seen by 17 million people. “I can’t wrap my mind around it at all, zero. I have no concept of what that means. Nothing negative, he has every right to live his life the way he wants to, but I can’t come in the house and make that announcement to my wife, to my children, nothing.”
As for whether he would ask Jenner on his show to discuss the transition, Harvey said, “Yeah, but [Diane] covered it all,” said Harvey, whose show was nominated for a Daytime Emmy. “My wife told me I couldn’t do the interview. She said your faces are too expressive.”
