E OnlineCaitlyn Jenner has responded to Ricky Gervais’ Golden Globes joke and I don’t think she was very impressed…
The British comedian caused controversy with his gag about Caitlyn – who was formerly Bruce Jenner before undergoing gender reassignment surgery – saying she ‘didn’t do a lot for women drivers’.
His joke was in reference to the crash she was involved with back in February 2015 which claimed the life of a woman.
PAUL DRINKWATER/NBC/APQuizzed about Ricky’s comment during a chat as part of the Television Critics Tour in Pasadena California, she admitted that she already had plans for her revenge.
She said: “On Ricky, I think what I’m gonna do call the Golden Globes and see if they need a new host for next year. And we’ll solve that problem.”
After his joke at the awards last Sunday many people took to Twitter to criticise Gervais’ comments.

Ricky Gervais is back as Golden Globes host, and it took about 3.2 seconds for a bigoted trash joke. Deadnaming Caitlyn Jenner. ???

And after his latest response to Jenner’s comeback, I can’t imagine he’s on her Christmas card list this year…
At last. She always brakes too late. https://t.co/COlZnqYVZZ
