Caitlyn Jenner is catching flak from her daughter Kylie for using a Middle East combat zone in a pathetic attempt to grab headlines, sources tell GLOBE.
The 75-year-old jetted into Tel Aviv on June 12 for the city’s annual gay pride celebration — but ended up endangering her life when Israel’s conflict with Iran escalated and rockets began raining down.
The Olympic gold medalist made sure everyone knew she was in the middle of the action — she was pictured drinking a glass of wine in a bunker as missiles flew overhead, and even appeared on Israeli television to announce that her 27-year-old makeup mogul daughter was worried that she had put herself in such danger.

“I spoke with my daughter Kylie, and she urged me to stay safe,” Caitlyn told viewers on an Israeli television station, per Newsweek. “I reassured her, don’t worry, I’ll keep myself safe, and they’ll take care of me.”
In what insiders say was another brazen attempt to grab headlines, Caitlyn posted a taunt on social media, writing “Bye bye terrorists” as she fled the conflict, crossing into Jordan by land.
Sources say Kylie is “furious” over the dumb publicity stunt.
“Caitlyn will do anything to be in the headlines again,” a source says. “She may think she’s being brave by making these dramatic statements, but she’s not scoring any points with her family.
“To say they are not impressed is an understatement — they’re rolling their eyes at this pathetic attention-seeking,” says an insider. “They are seriously worried she’s going to get herself hurt trying to stay relevant.”

As readers know, Caitlyn has been desperate to stay in the spotlight since she was booted from the family’s reality empire after trashing ex-wife Kris Jenner in her 2017 memoir, The Secrets of My Life.
“It’s pretty clear Caitlyn will do just about anything to cling to fame, but this is a new low even for her. She’s risking getting herself killed just to get likes!” says a source.
“Her daughters are happy she’s safe but they’re really fed up with her antics. If she thinks she’s getting a hero’s welcome home, she’s sorely mistaken.”
