Kellie Maloney has once again shared her thoughts about Bruce Jenner’s decision to become a woman. The boxing promoter has encouraged the former athlete to focus not on his fame but on his transition.

According to Mirror UK, Kellie Maloney has “warned” Bruce Jenner about putting his focus on his transition into becoming a woman rather on his reality show. The 62-year-old, who was born Francis “Frank” Maloney, urged Jenner to “stop worrying about being a reality TV star and think about himself.” “He needs to concentrate on his transition fully,” she said.

Kellie Maloney’s advice reportedly came after Bruce Jenner’s step children, Kim Kardashian and her sisters Chloe and Kourtney, including Kendall and Kylie Jenner, admitted their shock after learning of their father’s transition. The boxing promoter also shared her sympathies for Bruce, stating she understood that what he’s “going through is hard.” But she also added a few more advice about how the former Olympian should have been more open to his family about his transition to becoming a woman.

Speaking about her transition, Maloney recalled keeping her two daughters in the loop about the step-by-step process she had to go through. Her teenage children were reportedly fully informed and Kellie thought Bruce Jenner should do the same.

Kellie Maloney had also previously acknowledged Bruce Jenner’s suffering in light of his transition to become a woman. According to UK’s OK magazine, the transgender said in a statement to The Daily Star that Bruce Jenner is clearly suffering. One can reportedly see the pain and the stress on his face.

Maloney even went so far as to blame the Kardashian family for using Bruce’s transition for fame and publicity and as a marketing ploy to earn more money. Kellie Maloney said that instead of Bruce Jenner receiving the full support and love of his family, his transition has instead been turned into a media circus, which the Kardashians use “for their own benefit as well.”

However, despite all the suffering, Kellie Maloney only has one important reminder for Bruce Jenner about his transition to become a woman. Per Mirror UK, she told Bruce back in February to remain “positive” and “just go for it.”
