Chrystie Scott
was married to Bruce Jenner for nine years. From 1972 to 1981 and is the
mother of his two oldest children, Burt and Casey Jenner, and she was
the first person he ever confided in about his gender identity.
Speaking about his Diane Sawyer interview, Chrystie told George Stephanopoulos on his radio show this morning about her shock when Bruce first told her in the first year of their marriage in the 70's.

"I can't remember the exact words because it was such a
shock to me, but he opened up his heart and confessed, and he had to
share this deep, dark secret. He told me he wanted to be a woman, and
understandably, I didn't know what to say.
It's so hard to wrap your
head around it, particularly because he was
such a manly man. He never indicated anything feminine in
his demeanor."
Speaking about Jenner finally talking about it, Chrystie said;
"I'm sure there are plenty of people that don't have the courage to come
out at all, ever, and they live private, dark tortured lives and that's
tragic.
That's just tragic and the fact that he did share
it with me that first year, I feel like that was actually a gift he
gave to me to trust me with something so intimate."
