KRIS Jenner has been slammed for the name she called her ex Caitlyn on the family’s new Hulu reality show.
The blunder came seven years after the Olympian’s famous transition.
Fans on Reddit were offended as episode three of The Kardashians saw the momager refer to Caitlyn using her old name, Bruce, which she used before she came out as a trans woman in 2015.
This is known as deadnaming – referring to someone by their birth name when they have changed their name due to a gender transition.
One disappointed viewer shared: “Even in the past tense you should refer to Caitlyn as ‘her’ even when she was still a man.”
Another said: “It really isn’t too hard to understand why deadnaming is problematic and can be harmful.”
A third shared: “I would just say Caitlyn.”
The reference came as Kris, 66, took a trip down memory lane, discussing her time as a flight attendant in New York.
In a confessional, she told the story: “Robert and OJ met me at the airport, because they had just flown back from Montreal where they watched Bruce Jenner win the gold medal, because OJ was doing the commentary.
“How about that f**king story? Isn’t that wild” she remarked.
Caitlyn, 72, publicly came out as a trans woman in April 2015, and adopted the name Caitlin in July 2015.
But it’s not only Kris that has riled viewers of the new Hulu show, which Caitlyn will not be appearing on.
Fans were also disappointed by the behavior from Khloe Kardashian, 37, as episode three aired last night.
The Good American founder was slammed as “disgusting” and “disrespectful” towards her mom.
Kris was asking if Khloe would like to come and see the old apartment where she used to live in New York, but her third eldest daughter had no desire to pretend to be interested.
She cleared her throat before saying, “I’m trying to muster up the ‘I give a f**k energy’, so hold on a second.”
Kris looked completely embarrassed and repeated her daughter’s words under her breath.
“Tell me when you care about me,” Kris said, as she fixed her sleeve.
“I just can’t find any of the f**king cares for your stewardess apartment,” Khloe explained.
She added: “I think you keep forgetting that you told me this story.”
Fans on Reddit slammed her for being disrespectful to her mom.
One wrote: “The way she speaks to Kris is disgusting I would never dream of speaking to my mom the way Khloe (and the others) do.”
A second added: “The ‘looking for f**ks to give’ comments were mean.”
It seems that the mother-daughter pair are giving each other a masterclass on bad manners.
In episode two, Khloe scalded her mom for the way she spoke to their driver.
While parked up, Kris had just asked the driver to leave the vehicle so they could share a private phone conversation with Travis Barker, 46, who was about to reveal his plans to propose to Kourtney Kardashian, 43.
However, after the driver got out of the car, Khloe pointed out that the trunk was still open.
“Close the trunk!” Kris yelled loudly as she rolled her own window down slightly.
“So you’re yelling at a f**king guy?” Khloe asked her mom.
Khloe then intervened and asked the driver more nicely: “Sir, would you close the trunk for a moment? Thank you so much.”

She then turned to her moody mom and said: “It’s not what you say, it’s how you say it.”
Kris curtly replied: “No.”
