Burt, Bruce Jenner's eldest son, 36, tweeted on Saturday, April 25, a day after the sensational Diane Sawyer interview in ABC, to call out those who have tried to piggyback on his recent popularity after months of mockery, according to usatoday.

"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 tweeted.

Who was he referring to? Perezhilton hints that his wife Kris is being implicated, as she hadn't seemed to be too "committed to supporting her husband". Last Friday, she said that ABC had not approached her for a comment, though ABC insisted that she was the one who had declined to speak.

Another interesting tweet was by his daughter Kylie Jenner, who also wanted to condemn people who had made negative comments about her father, according to nydailynews.

"I don't have the time for people who bring and create so much negativity in their life," she wrote. "I can only pray for them!"

Bruce's two-hour interview with Diane Sawyer in ABC had recorded his struggles in the media. Some late night hosts had mocked at the "reality star's gender and appearance". The former Olympic-gold-medal decathlete who is 65, even got some suicidal tendencies after the leak about his tracheal shave.

"That night, I thought, 'It's over.' I was walking up and down this hall back and forth all night long. Heart pounding," Jenner told Sawyer. "I thought, 'Wouldn't the easiest thing to do right now is go in the other room, get a gun. Pain is over. Done. Go to a better place.'"

However, Bruce got over his feelings and openly admitted that he had the Soul Of A Woman. "For all intents and purposes, I am a woman ... I was not genetically born that way, and as of now, I have all the male parts ... But I still identify as female. It's very hard for Bruce Jenner to say that. Why? Because I don't want to disappoint people," he told Sawyer.

"I'm not a girl in guy's body, I hate that, I am a person, it's who I am," he said. "My brain is much more female than it is male. It's hard for people to understand but that's what my soul is."

He has now committed his time to spreading awareness and acceptance about himself, with his family's complete support, including his three former wives. Still, he said, he is not a spokesman for the community.

"I just can't pull the curtain any longer. I've built a nice little life, I just can't - again, Bruce lives a lie. She is not a lie. I just can't do it anymore. I am saying goodbye to people's perception of me and who I am. I'm not saying goodbye to me because this has always been me," he said.

He also came up with another startling confession, according to CNN  ---that he is a Republican!
