Bruce Jenner got a very important message out last night to a very large television audience. The reality star’s much-hyped sit-down with Diane Sawyer, during which Jenner said he was a woman , was viewed on Friday evening by 17 million people. It also scored a 5.2 rating among the key advertising demographic of 18-49-year olds, which marks a 400 percent increase over the last new episode of 20/20. The fascinating Q&A featured a number of candid admission from Jenner, foremost among them: He believes he has the “soul” of a woman. It is very possible he gets sexual reassignment surgery down the line (he needs a “va-jay-jay,” as he said Khloe Kardashian would explain it). Kris Jenner and Kim Kardashian both saw him wearing women’s clothing at various points in the past. He has been taking hormones for the past 18 months. He will soon leave the spotlight and re-emerge as a female, replete with a different name (which he did not want to make public last night). Celebrity reaction has been very positive to Jenner’s interview, with stars from across all industries praising Bruce’s honesty, along with his mission to be a role model in the transgender universe. At one point, Jenner said he hopes to help “change the world” in terms of how people in his situation are viewed and received by the public. Here is a look at what Jenner’s family members, along with a number of singers/actors/actresses/talk show hosts, have had to say about the revealing special: View Slideshow: Celebrities Show Support for Bruce Jenner
