Caitlyn Jenner reached out to Elon Musk for legal help on X after claiming that Disney and Bob Iger discriminated against her.

Jenner was a key star back in the day on Keeping Up with the Kardashians since the series kicked off in 2007 with almost 20 seasons of the hit reality-show.

Gubernatorial candidate Caitlyn Jenner speaks to reporters after a Town Hall meeting in Pasadena, California, August 28, 2021, as she campaigns to replace California Gov. Gavin Newsom in the upcoming special recall election. - Jenner addressed about 35 supporters during the Town Hall ahead of the recall election, which will be held on September 14, 2021. The election asks voters to respond two questions: whether Newsom, a Democratic, should be recalled from the office of governor, and who should succeed Newsom if he is recalled. Forty-six candidates, including nine Democrats and 24 Republicans, are looking to take Newsom's place as the governmental leader of California.

Yet, the former Olympian was not involved when it came to the newly reworked show The Kardashians for Hulu that started in 2022.

On Wednesday, the reality star responded to a viral post from Elon Musk offering legal support to anyone who had been discriminated against by Disney or other companies under the media giant including Marvel, ESPN, and Hulu.

Jenner wrote: “Hulu (Disney subsidiary) never put me on my family’s show — I had been on since day 1 — when it switched from E!”

Musk has not addressed the response from Jenner.

Back in January, Jenner made some similar comments when a conservative political consultant Richard Grenell criticized Disney for being “partisan” in a post on X. In her response to Grenell, the reality star also took aim at CEO Bob Iger.

“I wonder if that’s why they fired me from my family’s reality show when it switched over to Hulu (@Disney), from E!. I must not be woke enough,” Jenner said. “Too bad… I remember when Bob Iger was a young, hard working, valet, carrying my bags, for me right after I won the Olympics.”

Jenner also claimed that Iger had “no sense of loyalty” to her after a 20/20 special about her transition on ABC.

Back in December 2022, Jenner also interacted with Musk on X that she feared for his life during the Hunter Biden-laptop controversy.

Musk’s recent comments against Iger and Disney came right after he claimed that an anonymous source sent him a list of Disney’s inclusion standards. He called the document “mandatory, institutionalized racism and sexism.”

Just this week, Gina Carano and her attorneys announced that Musk’s X Corporation will fund her lawsuit against Disney.

The actor is suing the company for wrongful termination after she was fired from “The Mandalorian” in February 2021 for seemingly comparing Republicans to Jewish people who were persecuted during the Holocaust.
