Brody Jenner Issues Statement Defending Kaitlynn Carter Following Her Pictures with Miley Cyrus
After Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth announced their split, the singer was photographed kissing Kaitlynn Carter. Kaitlynn’s ex, Brody Jenner, is defending her.

Brody Jenner is not here for the negativity his ex, Kaitlynn Carter, has faced of late, particularly tied to her recent hangouts with Miley Cyrus.

He wrote:
