Caitlyn Jenner was reportedly removed from her son Brandon Jenner’s new reality show after being included on the show without her knowledge.
TMZ reports Caitlyn, 74, appears on an episode of her son’s new UnchainedTV show At Home With The Jenners, enjoying a family dinner with David Foster. Her son Brandon also teased an appearance from his father in previous episodes.
But Caitlyn was unaware she would be included in the show and was upset when she found out she would appear in a scene and be referenced in promotional content.
Caitlyn’s main concern was reportedly her job as a contributor at Fox News – she is in the middle of contract negotiations with the network and fears that appearing on a reality show on a separate network would be a breach of contract.
The star hopes to continue working with Fox as the presidential elections and the Olympics quickly approach.

Lawyers for Caitlyn threatened the production company with legal action if they did not immediately remove her from the series.
Insiders say that not only have her future appearances been removed, but she has also been erased from episodes she already appeared in. The show has only aired three episodes so far.
Although Caitlyn wants nothing but the best for her son’s new show, she’s furious at how haphazardly it’s all been organized in hopes of marketing it, TMZ reports.
She reportedly has no plans to join a reality show on another network because it could seriously conflict with her job at Fox.
Insiders claim Caitlyn called her son and informed him of her anger over the matter. She has since been removed from the show.
Caitlyn joined Fox News in 2022 as a paid commentator.
The network said Jenner, a transgender woman, will provide commentary and analysis across various Fox News Media platforms.

“Caitlyn’s story is an inspiration to us all,” said Suzanne Scott, CEO of Fox News Media. “She is a pioneer in the LGBTQ+ community and her illustrious career spans a variety of fields that will be a tremendous asset to our audiences.”
Jenner wrote on her Instagram page at the time: “I am humbled by this unique opportunity to speak directly to @foxnews millions of viewers about a range of issues important to the American people.”
Jenner is considered a polarizing figure in the LGBTQ community for espousing conservative views on a wide range of topics, including gender identity.
She ran an unsuccessful campaign for governor of California in 2021 as a Republican. She was defeated by incumbent Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, and finished 13th in the recall election.
The star has publicly supported Donald Trump in the past, saying she believed he had done “good things” during his presidency.

Her conservative views reportedly led to the end of her friendship with transgender activist and actress Candis Cayne.
Candis told The messenger: “We just don’t really talk anymore because I can’t separate my friendship with her and her belief system anymore.”
Cayne said she and a group of women “really tried to show her the light, and how important our cause was, and the only way you can do that is by leaning left,” but their efforts were unsuccessful — with Cayne’s ex-boyfriend called ‘a cult member, a cult member of Fox News.’
Cayne said, “It’s sad because I had so many fun times and experiences with her. I wish she would see the light. I just don’t want to spend time with someone who doesn’t understand the other side.”
Jenner’s spokesperson said this Page six: “Caitlyn is proud of her ongoing contract as an employee of Fox News – the only network to employ an openly transgender employee.
“She reaches the largest cable news audience and brings a down-to-earth perspective on protecting women’s sports.”
