Kendall Jenner, 19, is furious after comments attributed to her were published in US Weekly on Wednesday.
The celebrity news site said they talked to Jenner on Sunday, and quoted statements regarding her famous father's reported gender change.
"How is it legal for someone to 'quote' someone and publish it if in fact you never said what was quoted," Jenner asked on Twitter.
"Shame on US Weekly for making up quotes," she continued. "I NEVER said those things. I never spoke to them."
US Weekly reported interviewing Jenner backstage at the Comedy Central Roast of Justin Bieber. The model and reality star allegedly broke her silence on her father's change in appearance—a story that was picked up by dozens of news sites worldwide.
"I love my dad. He's always been there for me and my sisters," US Weekly quoted Jenner as saying. "He's a wonderful man. And just because he's changing shoes now, so to speak, doesn't make him less wonderful. I will always love my dad, whether he's a man or a woman."
In recent months, Bruce Jenner has been spotted wearing large earrings, painted nails, and longer hair, and rumours persist that he is transitioning from male to female. The 65-year-old has six children from three marriages, and is the stepfather of Kris Jenner's four children with the late Robert Kardashian. Kris filed for divorce in September, and the proceedings are expected to be finalised on March 23.
None of Bruce's children or step-children have commented on his alleged transition, and neither Kris nor Bruce have spoken about his physical changes in interviews. The former Olympic champion is expected to discuss the rumours in an interview with Diane Sawyer to air in May.
