Bruce Jenner’s 20/20 interview justifiably took over social media and news and gossip sites this past weekend. It was one of the most-watched programs of the year (17 million people tuned in), and will likely go down as one of those cultural-milestone moments that people will cite for years to come when we speak of trans-acceptance and tolerance. I’ve been impressed by how the reactions to Bruce – from his family and from random internet people – have been largely positive and accepting. The few prominent people who have said negative things have been slapped down HARD. People like… Kris Humphries.

As you might remember, Kris Humphries was married to Kim Kardashian for a few months back in 2012. I always thought that Kim married Kris just because she was turning 30 and she just wanted to get married to someone, anyone and Kris was the first guy to ask her. It was not a love match and Kris always seemed like a loser (sorry to anyone who thought he would bring down the Kardashians, but he was just a douche who wanted to make Kim “pay” for divorcing him). Anyway, just hours after Bruce Jenner’s interview, Humphries tweeted: “Man, I’m glad I got out when I did. #Gottadoyou.” The reaction must have been immediate and unpleasant, because Kris later tweeted an apology and clarification:

Are you buying it? I am not. I think Kris’s intent was pretty clear in the first tweet. He thought he’d grab a few headlines by tweeting some shade at his ex-wife’s family and he’s such an idiot that he thought people would be on his side. But I’ll give him this: at least he recognized that he was acting like a dumbass and offered support to Bruce.
