Rolling Stone revealed Kim Kardashian as its latest cover star today with a busty, nautical-themed photo shot by Terry Richardson. While the entire cover story has yet to go live, the magazine released excerpts from the piece—the most notable of which pertains to Caitlyn Jenner's transition. Kim says she first saw her then-step-father Bruce wearing women's clothing 12 years ago in a garage and held onto the secret until she came out earlier this year.
Here's the excerpt in full:
"I was shaking," Kardashian says. "I didn't know if I'd just found out his deepest, darkest secret, and he was going to come after me." Jenner called her on the phone a half hour later, and said, "One day, I'll talk to you about this. Until then, don't tell a soul." Eight years later, he said, "Let's have that talk." Before Kim's wedding to West, Kardashian talked to Kanye about it. "I wasn't sure if Bruce was going to be comfortable walking me down the aisle," she says. "He had just had his trachea shaved, so I knew something was going on." She was afraid of what West might think, but West calmed her concerns. "[Kanye] obviously moves to his own drum," she says. "He lives his life the way he wants, a really authentic life, and he was like, 'If you can't be authentic and you can't live your life, what do you have?' "
Look out for the issue on stands this Friday.
