Laverne Cox Shares Her First Meeting With Caitlyn Jenner


The Orange Is The New Black actress and Caitlyn Jenner have been sharing positive dialogue with each other ever since Jenner came out as transgender. The thing is, they never actually met until this past weekend when Jenner invited Cox to her private screening of her show “I am Cait.”

While visiting The Late Late Show with James Corden, Cox shared her thoughts on Jenner as well as her transgender transition when she was growing up.

She went on to say “When I think about transitioning in my 20s as a black, transgender woman who was working class and struggling to make it in New York City, it’s completely different from Caitlyn’s very public experience.”

She also shared that she thought Jenner was a  “sweet woman who loves her family.” Cox was very expressive as she stated she was thankful that she didn’t have to deal with the paparazzi like Jenner does. She doesn’t want that kind of life!
