Apparently, Kim Kardashian isn’t the only one in the family that can break the Internet. Social media blew up this weekend when Bruce Jenner’s interview with Diane Sawyer aired. In fact, Jenner’s interview was so popular and powerful that it actually broke social media records. A new record of over 970,000 tweets from 403,000 unique Twitter users weighed in about Jenner, making it the most social Friday telecast to date (minus sporting events). Yet another gold for Jenner. Trending hashtags included #BruceJenner, #BruceJennerABC, #love and many more. For those of you who have been hiding under a rock, the touching interview revealed that Jenner is transgender. If you haven’t watched it yet, I highly recommend taking the time to do so. It’s a great reminder that everyone should be allowed to be who they are without judgement. Although there were some negative tweets (I’m looking at you, Kris Humphries), most of the responses were supportive. Here are some of the social media highlights:
There was an outpour of support from media outlets to celebrities too:
What Jenner did not only took a lot of courage, but opened doors, allowed people to understand what transgender means and to be more accepting of others. Congrats, Bruzer!
Awesome as usual! 🙂
