The Kardashian and Jenner families have all expressed their strong support for Bruce Jenner on social media after he publicly revealed he's transgender on Friday night, but people are skeptical of matriarch Kris Jenner's apparent approval.

Celebrity gossip writer Perez Hilton tweeted that Kris noticeably declined comment when both Chrystie and Linda gave extremely supportive statements.
However, shortly after the interview aired and Bruce began receiving overwhelming praise for his courage and honesty, Kris took to Twitter for that comment everyone's been waiting for.
"Not only was I able to call him my husband for 25 years and father of my children, I am now able to call him my hero," tweeted Kris, who wed Bruce in 1991 but separated from him in October 2013 before filing for divorce.
"F-ck you Perez no one asked me to comment ....and I'm sitting with Bruce now watching this show so let's keep it real...LOL...."
Bruce did in fact watch the interview with his entire family, according to Kim Kardashian.
But Perez wasn't the only person who seemed to criticize Kris' sincerity. Burt Jenner -- whom Bruce had with Chrystie while they were married from 1972 to 1981 -- tweeted only a couple hours after Kris, and his statement appeared to be taking a direct shot at her.
"Having a hard time not putting a few people on blast who were not supporters before hand, but want to act like they were all along," Burt wrote in a since-deleted post.
But on a more positive note, most of Bruce's children and stepchildren wrote beautiful messages on social media.
"World's Greatest Athlete. Just finished watching the #BruceJennerInterview with the family. Bruzer, I'm soooo proud of you! Dads really are heros," Khloe Kardashian tweeted Friday with heart emoticons along with an Instagram photo featuring a younger Bruce competing in the Olympics with the word "Brave" written across his chest.
Bruce admitted during his televised interview that Khloe was taking his gender-transition news the hardest, so it probably meant a lot to him to see her in good spirits.
Even Rob Kardashian surfaced after basically hiding from publicity for months if not years.

"You have always been a role model to me and now more than ever, I look up to you. LOVE YOU!! !!" Rob tweeted.
Kim, whom Bruce revealed has been the most supportive of his transformation, testified to Bruce's courage.
"Love is the courage to live the truest, best version of yourself," Kim tweeted. "Bruce is love. I love you Bruce. #ProudDaughter. Your honesty has opened the doors for others to be courageous and live an authentic life! #respect #hero #family."
Added Kourtney Kardashian: "Couldn't be a more proud daughter. With courage and bravery, let's change the world. I am honored to stand by Bruce's side and support him."
On Saturday, Kourtney followed up her post by writing, "Elated by the overwhelming support for Bruce's bravery&courage to be himself.Woke up with a smile on my face knowing this will change lives."
Kendall Jenner's post was short but to the point.
"I love you. So very proud of you, my hero," Kendall tweeted Friday night.
And Kylie Jenner's comments were a little more involved.

Brandon Jenner -- Bruce's son with Linda whom he wed in 1981 and separated from in 1986 -- spoke for a while about his father during Bruce Jenner: The Interview. In addition, he posted a photo on Instagram in which he was sitting on his dad's shoulders as a happy little boy.
