After last week’s InTouch cover featuring a doctored photo of Bruce Jenner wearing make-up, it seems Kris Jenner is hell-bent on making her ex-husband deny the rampant sex change allegations. Bruce and Kris recently ended their 23-year marriage, but Kris is still intent on quashing the sex change rumors that started after Bruce began sporting nail polish and longer hair. According to a source close to the family, “Kris has been pressuring Bruce to issue a statement about ongoing sex change rumors, and she wants it to be a very strong denial.”

The source added, “She believes that putting out a statement would stop these ongoing rumors, and doesn’t understand why Bruce won’t do it.” When the InTouch cover was made public, Kris wanted Bruce to publicly deny the claims. However, Bruce Jenner was not willing to speak to the press. The source claims, “Whenever the subject comes up, Bruce just shuts her down. This is extremely sensitive for Bruce, and it’s his choice not to address it.” Following the release of the InTouch cover story, Kris Jenner banned the publication from appearing in future Kardashian events effectively denying them access to her family.

Kris and the rest of the Kardashians are currently gearing up for the new season of Keeping up with the Kardashians, and according to reports, the new storyline will feature Kylie’s alleged plastic surgery. A source close to Kylie said, “Kylie is one of the most insecure people I’ve ever met. The problem is, her family backs her. Rather than make her feel like she’s beautiful, Kris allows this to keep happening.”

Kylie herself denied the rumors that she had plastic surgery done. In an interview with Cosmopolitan for their February issue, Kylie says, “You guys have watched me grow up since I was 9. My face is going to get different. Now, I know how to do my makeup, contour and everything. I’m not against surgery. I’d never say no, but I don’t desire it right now.”
