"The chaos outside was a great contrast to the uplifting atmosphere inside where Caitlyn had just given her speech," B96 Chicago radio announcer Showbiz Shelly narrated.
"I thought she handled the situation with poise. By confronting the protesters in the way she did, she emphasized the themes she talked about in her speech: To be respectful, be brave and stand up for what you believe in."
According to a report from Entertainment Tonight online, insiders behind "I Am Cait" season 2 clarified that the run-in was not staged at all.

"Who did [Chicago House] select to speak on the issues facing trans people and especially trans women in our city?" the protester wrote on their Facebook event page. "Caitlyn Jenner, who lives in a mansion and has a net worth of millions of dollars, while the average trans person has a 41 percent chance of experiencing homelessness and a nearly 50 percent chance of living off less than $10k per year."
