Candis Cayne has revealed she is no longer friends with 'cult member' Caitlyn Jenner due to the Republican star's conservative beliefs.
Transgender actress and activist Cayne, 52, who starred alongside 74-year-old Jenner on reality series, I Am Cait in 2015, told The Messenger: 'We just don't really talk anymore because I can't separate my friendship with her and her belief system anymore.'
Jenner is considered a polarizing figure in the LGBTQ+ community for espousing conservative views on a wide variety of topics, including gender identity. The Fox News contributor has publicly supported Donald Trump in the past and said she believed he had done 'good things' during his presidency.
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 get that is if you lean left' but their attempts were unsuccessful - with Cayne calling her ex friend 'a cult member, a Fox News cult member.'
Cayne said: 'It's sad because I've 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 anybody that can't understand the other side.'
Jenner's spokesman told PageSix: 'Caitlyn is proud of her ongoing contract as a Fox News contributor — the only network to employ an openly trans contributor.
'She reaches the largest cable news audience, bringing a level headed perspective, on protecting women’s sports.'
Jenner has waded into the controversy surrounding transgender female athletes competing against biological females - such as Pennsylvania swimmer Lia Thomas who won the the women's NCAA Championships in 2022.
Florida Gov Ron DeSantis, a Republican, proclaimed that Emma Weyant, who took home silver, was the real winner, and Jenner concurred, tweeting: '[Emma] is the rightful winner! It’s not transphobic or anti-trans, it’s COMMON SENSE!'
Jenner won the Olympic gold medal as a man in the decathlon in 1976. She came out as transgender in 2015.
A native of Mount Kisco, New York, Jenner graduated from Graceland College in Iowa, having attended on a football scholarship, but an injury prompted a return to track and field.
Jenner took up the decathlon and only one year later qualified for the 1972 Olympic team, placing third at the trials and tenth at the Munich Games.
Jenner is the parent and step-parent of 10 children, including Kim Kardashian and her sisters, Kylie and Kendall Jenner, with whom she appeared on E! Network's long-running reality TV show Keeping Up with The Kardashians, which wrapped up last year.
Just months before coming out as transgender and appearing on Vanity Fair's iconic cover in 2015, Jenner was involved in a multi-vehicle crash in California that killed 70-year-old Kim Howe and injured several other people.
The Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office declined to file criminal charges against Jenner because of insufficient evidence. She later reached separate settlements with the victims of the collision.
Jenner made headlines in recent years with her ties to Trump.
Jenner supported Trump in 2016 but later criticized his administration’s reversal of a directive on transgender access to public school bathrooms.
She also split with Trump after he said transgender people would not be allowed to serve in the US military.
In 2021 she refused to say that Trump lost the election, instead praising the ex-president as a ‘disrupter.’
Jenner appeared on ABC’s The View, where one of the daytime talk show’s co-hosts, Joy Behar, asked Jenner if she would acknowledge that President Joe Biden defeated Trump.
Behar said: 'You say that you’re a Republican, and I'm just wondering because a lot of Republicans in this country believe that Donald Trump won the election and not Joe Biden.
'Are you one of those people, one of those Republicans?'
Jenner refused to answer the question, stating that she's 'not going to get into that' because the 'election is over with.'
'I think Donald Trump did do some good things,' Jenner said in the segment.
'What I liked about Donald Trump is that he was a disrupter.'
Behar then repeated her question, saying: 'But did he win? Did he win the election?'
Jenner replied: 'He was a disrupter when he was president. I want to do the same thing.
'I want to go in and be a thoughtful disrupter in Sacramento.'
She added: 'We need to change the system. I want to change that system for the positive. I'm in it for the people.'
In 2021 she ran for Governor of California - she was set to challenge governor Gavin Newsom amid his recall election, but was trounced, winning just 1% of votes cast for replacement candidates.
After Jenner dropped out of the California race, she was hired by Fox News as a contributor.
