Caitlyn Jenner Supports Noted Transphobe Joe Rogan Who Mocked Her
The Joe Rogan Experience, initially drew criticism and added attention due to rampant misinformation being spread about the ongoing viral pandemic.
The criticism led some, like Neil Young and Joni Mitchell, to pull their music from the platform in protest. The additional attention has also brought out more examinations of the podcast revealing that Rogan had often used racist slurs, called a movie theater in a Black Philadelphia neighborhood a "planet of the apes," and frequently endorsed and spewed transphobic rhetoric.
All of this has caused the likes of Mary L. Trump and Roxane Gay to remove their podcasts from the platform as well.On Friday, Jenner, who received one percent of the vote in 2021's California recall election, tweeted in support of Rogan. "Bye bye Leftover hippies from the 60's boycotting Joe Rogan on Spotify," she wrote. "Nobody will miss you.
Thank you Spotify for standing up for Rogan!" In 2020 on an episode of his podcast, Rogan mocked Jenner for going through gender confirmation surgery. "We're in la la land," he said of her in a July 16, 2020 episode.
