Linda Thompson claimed that apart from Caitlyn Jenner, who received a courage award for her brave transition from male to female, the former Olympian’s ten kids deserve some praise and respect as well. The ten kids are from Caitlyn Jenner’s three former wives, including the Kardashian daughters: Kim, Khloe and Kourtney.

Caitlyn’s second wife Linda took to her Instagram account to share how proud she is of her sons, Brody and Brandon, as well as all the other children of Caitlyn. She shared that all of them deserve the same respect given to Caitlyn. She even said the other ex-wives of Caitlyn, Kris Jenner and Chrystie Crownover deserve some praise as well. "While Caitlyn deserves commendation for her courage & position to help others in the [LGBT] community, may it not go unrecognized that there are 10 kids, 3 ex wives, & other friends & family who are adjusting to their new reality & a new visage," Thompson wrote. "My love & respect to especially these 10 who have demonstrated their integrity, strength & empathy,” she added.

Despite already receiving her award, controversy continues to hound Caitlyn and the decision to give her the Arthur Ashe Courage Award at the 2015 ESPYs. Comedian D.L. Hughley was accused of bullying the reality star when he talked and posted about Caitlyn not looking “beautiful” at all like people have been saying. He also said in so many words that Caitlyn certainly did not deserve the award. He told TMZ while Arthur Ashe was recognized for his efforts to fight AIDS with dignity and honor, all Caitlyn did was put on a dress. For him, the two are incomparable.

The comedian also said that the media keeps saying Caitlyn is beautiful and Serena Williams looked like a man and for him, everything is just “weird,” and “ridiculous.” He lauded Serena for being one of the most “beautiful things” he has ever seen on a tennis court while “Bruce Jenner,” noticeably stating Caitlyn’s former name, just looks like all of his PE teachers. He even posted a picture of Caitlyn side by side with Mrs. Doubtfire, played by the late Robin Williams in 1993. He dared everyone not to say the semblance between the two is uncanny.

Many were unhappy with his bullying and decided to unfollow him on his social media accounts. People claimed they do not understand why he is being a bully.
