Caitlyn Jenner’s got a brand new job to add to her resume.
The former Olympic decathlete is now a Fox News contributor and commentator.
Jenner just inked a deal with the conservative news network, and made her commentator debut on Thursday, March 31, on Sean Hannity’s program.
Fox said she’ll offer commentary and analysis across various Fox News Media platforms.

“Caitlyn’s story is an inspiration to us all,” said Suzanne Scott, Fox News Media CEO. “She is a trailblazer in the LGBTQ+ community and her illustrious career spans a variety of fields that will be a tremendous asset for our audience.”
Jenner took to social media to express her excitement and gratitude for the opportunity.
“I am humbled by this unique opportunity to speak directly to Fox News’ millions of viewers about a range of issues that are important to the American people,” she wrote on Instagram.

Many people in the comments section scoffed at Jenner’s announcement, and even more went berserk on Twitter.
One person commented on her IG post writing, “Humble and fox can't go together, we all know that.😂😂😂😂.”
Not Everyone Was Excited About Caitlyn's Announcement
“Why go on a station that mocks trans and the entire LGBTQ community daily?🧐 I don’t understand. Desperate to be seen and heard,” another asked.
Another critic added, “They literally mock trans people EVERY day on Fox. …is anyone else confused by this post?.. 🤦🏻♂️.”
Someone also noted that this is the lowest Jenner could’ve gone.
Over on Twitter, hundreds more had the same feelings toward Fox News’ announcement and “Caitlyn Jenner” began trending.
One impassioned LGBTQIA+ community member tweeted, “As a transwoman I must say… F**k you Caitlyn Jenner! That’s all.”
Someone retweeted this and commented, “Honestly I couldn’t agree any more , F**k you Caitlyn Jenner.
“Literally no one cares what this woman thinks. Caitlyn Jenner isn’t the spokesperson for trans people, we can’t stand her ass,” one user tweeted.
“You’re joking right? Having Caitlyn jenner BE A SPOKES PERSON FOR ABC? WHEN SHE LITERALLY DOESN’T SUPPORT LGBTQ MARRIAGE,” one infuriated person tweeted.
While there was a lot of uproar about her new job at Fox News, some people on the other side of the aisle were excited by the news.
Some People Congratulated Caitlyn
“They need to have you on Fox More Often! Enjoyed you on Hannity 👍👏,” and “EPIC!!! NICE!!! LUV IT!!! GO CAITLYN!! GO JENNER RACING!! GO FOX!!! ❤🤍💙❤🤍💙❤🤍💙❤🤍💙,” are praises Jenner received.
Prior to becoming a Fox commentator and contributor, Jenner was running for the Governor of California and getting denied service at the Beverly Hills Hotel.
The Blast reported on the latter most recently.
Back in December, the former “Kepping Up with the Kardashians” star stopped by the swanky A-list hotel to grab some grub.
However, her ripped jeans were not up to par with the strictly enforced dress code.
Jenner claims she was turned down service because her jeans had a small rip in them, which is part of the aesthetic she was going for. The jeans were manufactured to look distressed.
She posted a photo of her jeans with the caption, “@bevhillshotel f*** your horrible service for not letting me. Have lunch with this tiny rip in my jeans. Shame on you. Disgusting. I have been a patron for decades. No longer. @dorchestercollection.”
It’s true, the Kardashian-Jenner family members are avid diners at the Beverly Hills Hotel. Kourtney frequents the establishment out of anyone in her family, or at least that’s how she makes it appear on Instagram.
The “I Am Cait” star was attempting to dine at The Polo Longue in the hotel.
According to their website, there is a strict dress code enforced.
“At the Polo Lounge, we encourage you to dress for the occasion, so we ask that you refrain from wearing casual hats, ripped denim, crop tops, nightwear, swimwear and men’s sleeveless shirts. After 4pm, we do not permit shorts, flip-flops (including Birkenstocks) or sportswear (including tracksuits). Children under 10 are exempt,” their website states.
