Bruce Jenner Sex Change:

Russell Brand jumped to defend Bruce Jenner from all the sex change rumors as he called the level of scrutiny surrounding the former Olympian as a form of bullying.

In a video blog posted on YouTube, the comedian said. "This is bullying. Stop. Stop. Bruce Jenner is a human being."

"This is not disassociated from the more violent terrors and horrors of the world. This climate of bullying, and judgment and cruelty is violence of its own nature. It contributes to the climate. All of these things are real, like ripples in a lake. Like when you can see heat disrupting the air on a hot day.

There are connections, there are things that we don't quite see, that we don't quite sense but there. Connection between all of us. If we feel these waves of hatred, it's not good for us," he said.

He said now that racism and homophobia are not tolerated in everyday lexicon, transphobia seemed to have taken their place.

"It's such a celebration of the worst aspects of human values,' Russell said. "What this does is it sanctions people being judgmental and cruel toward transgender folks."

Bruce Jenner's sex change rumors have been going on since last year. In Touch magazine even ran a cover story of the former Olympian's alleged confession about his life as a woman.

The cover story angered Kris Jenner so much that she vowed to cut all ties with the magazine, said NY Daily News.

"They won't get any 'real' quotes from the family, and will be banned from Kardashian-Jenner red carpets, events, premieres and fashion events," the source said. "Kris is a powerhouse - you'd better believe she'll stick to it."

Rusell Brand continued in his video message that all the bullying on Bruce Jenner's sex change rumors could even drive him to suicide.
