'Man, I'm glad I got out when I did': Kim Kardashian's ex-husband Kris Humphries posts mean tweet after Bruce Jenner's transition interview - then 'sincerely' apologises
Kim Kardashian's ex-husband Kris Humphries has 'sincerely' apologised for a cruel tweet about Bruce Jenner's transition interview, saying he 'fully supports' the former Olympian.
The NBA athlete had shared: 'Man, I'm glad I got out when I did,' on Twitter on Friday after the show aired, along with the hashtag: #Gottadoyou.'
But Kris took to the social networking site on Saturday morning to explain that he didn't mean the message the way it sounded.

'Fully support Bruce': Kris Humphries has apologised for a cruel tweet about his ex-wife Kim Kardashian's stepfather Bruce Jenner, after the Olympian revealed he is a woman. Kris and Bruce are seen here at the rehearsal dinner for Kris and Kim's wedding in 2011
'I have and always will support Bruce hence #Gottadoyou. Now recognize I was too vague and sincerely apologize for the way this came across,' he wrote.
Clarifying his feelings further, Kris added: '#FullySupportBruce.'
Kris, who suggested that he left Kim rather than the other way around, had received backlash for his comment about Bruce's interview with Diane Sawyer.

Ex factor: Kris, pictured with Kim in October 2011, was married to the reality TV star for just 72 days before she filed divorce
The 29-year-old basketball player was married to the reality star for just 72 days in 2011 before she filed divorce.
Their wedding preparations and the ceremony itself aired on E! in a two-part TV special in early October, just weeks before Kim ended it.
Kris filed his response to her petition, requesting an annulment or a decree of legal separation rather than divorce on the grounds of fraud, claiming their wedding had been used as a publicity stunt to promote the Kardashian family brand.

It wasn't until June 2013 that the former couple reached a divorce settlement.
Kris' comment about Jenner is in stark contrast to how Kim's current husband Kanye West reacted.
In a touching story, Jenner told Diane Sawyer the rapper helped his wife reach an understanding about her stepfather's gender identity.
He said: ‘Kim told me a story. She goes, “You know what really turned me around on thinking about this?” I said, “What?” She goes, “Kanye.” I went, “Oh, okay.”’

Jenner continued: ‘He says to Kim, “Look, I can be married to the most beautiful woman in the world, and I am. I can have the most beautiful little daughter in the world, and I have that. But I’m nothing if I can’t be me. If I can’t be true to myself, they don’t mean anything.”’
Bruce also revealed during the interview that Kim caught him wearing a dress years ago.
The former decathlete said it became a 'big secret,' which they never discussed again until transition rumours recently surfaced.
It took Kim some time to adjust to the idea, but with Kanye's help she has become Jenner's trusted confidante.
Jenner added: ‘Since then, Kimberly has been, by far, the most accepting, and the easiest to talk to about it.’
