Christian Post Report – Earlier this year, it looked as though Bruce Jenner’s planned docu-series for E!, which will chronicle his transition from male to female, was going full steam ahead. Now, Jenner has stopped production and the future of the show is unclear.

“Bruce’s primary goal is to bring awareness to this issue in order to help others [in the transgender community],” said a source to TMZ. “He is not sure that E! and a reality show is the best format to do that.”

The 65-year old former Olympian “wants this to be taken seriously so that [his situation] can have the most positive impact on society’s perception of the transgender community,” the insider added.

Jenner, the former Olympian and former husband of Kris Jenner, matriarch of the Kardashian/Jenner clan, has been heavily targeted by the tabloid press, which has long speculated he’s on the verge of revealing he is transgender. Jenner has not commented on the rumors, but his mother confirmed his gender transition in remarks to the Associated Press last month.

“I am at peace with what he is and what he’s doing,” said Esther Jenner.

Meanwhile, though the docu-series has been put on hold for the moment, ABC News is looking to air its Diane Sawyer interview with Jenner by next month. According to Deadline, plans for that special have changed slightly, in light of Jenner’s recent car accident in which a person was killed and seven injured.

According to Deadline’s sources, the wreck in Malibu will be covered by ABC News when Sawyer interviews Jenner about his transition.
