Despite an opposing statement from ABC, Kris Jenner is standing by the fact she was misrepresented on the network's 20/20 special Bruce Jenner: The Interview.

During Bruce Jenner's sit-down talk with Diane Sawyer, the journalist revealed both Chrystie Scott and Linda Thompson -- two of Bruce's three ex-wives -- had made beautiful comments about the 65-year-old former Olympian's gender transition.
While Scott and Thompson expressed their admiration and wished Bruce all the best on his journey to become a woman, his most recent ex-wife Kris allegedly just told ABC "no comment" after months of silence.
Kris, 59, took to Twitter after the special aired to note how Bruce is her "hero." She was then called out on social media for her alleged lack of genuine support during this tough time for Bruce, whom she was married to for over 22 years.
"No one asked me to comment ....and I'm sitting with Bruce now watching this show...," Kris tweeted Friday night.

However, ABC News released a statement to People in response to Kris' claim she hadn't been contacted.
"ABC News sent an email to her publicity team more than once," ABC News insisted. "They called and said no comment."
But the Kardashian/Jenner matriarch is not letting this go. In attempt to clarify her stance on the subject, the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star released a statement of her own.
"Kris does not have official representation but a message was left at her office and she was asked for fact checking. Kris said she was unable to respond because she had not seen the special. She did not say, 'No comment,'" a spokesperson for Kris told the magazine.
Kris and Bruce wed in 1991 but separated in October 2013. Their divorce was finalized this past December.
