Bruce Jenner, the Kardashians girls’step-father, has a penchant for dressing up in women’s clothing, it was revealed recently.

The claims come from Ellen Pierson, who married Kris Jenner’s ex-husband Robert Kardashian shortly before his death in 2003.

Ellen Pierson claims Bruce Jenner’s first wife Chrystie Crownover – who he was married to for eight years between 1972 and 1980 – made the revelation to her over drinks.

Chrystie Crownover told Ellen Pierson how former track and field athlete Bruce Jenner was a secret cross-dresser and had a penchant for women’s clothing, shoes and lingerie, according to Star magazine.

“Of course Bruce was every woman’s heartthrob when he was that age, right?” Ellen Pierson told the Star.

“But Chrystie said: <<Yeah, until I went on a trip and I came back and he had gone through all my clothes. And I found my bras… He’d clip them together and wear them>>.”

Chrystie Crownover went on to divorce Bruce Jenner. They had two children together.

Bruce Jenner went on to wed Linda Thompson and they had two sons together during their four year marriage – Brandon and Brody.

Kris Jenner, his third wife, apparently has no qualms about Bruce’s penchant for cross-dressing, according to Ellen Pierson.

Ellen Pierson claims Kris Jenner was unfazed by his odd habit and that he continued to cross-dress for years after their 1991 wedding.

But apparently the Kardashian girls were not as accepting.

“Khloe called her dad and she was very upset, crying and screaming about it,” Ellen Pierson said.

The full story appears in this week’s issue of Star magazine.
