A load of cry babies on the Internet weren’t too happy with Ricky Gervais’ jokes at the expense of Caitlyn Jenner at the Golden Globes last week, insisting he was being transphobic despite the fact he really wasn’t.

Well Caitlyn kept quiet about the whole thing until a press conference yesterday where someone asked her what she made of the whole thing.
She responded:
On Ricky, I think what I’m going to do is call the Golden Globes and see if they need a new host for next year. And we’ll solve that problem.
No doubt she’ll have Hollywood’s finest joke writers working on a few Ricky Gervais gags if that goes ahead.
Ricky Gervais, of course, replied in typical troll fashion:
18.5 Million Americans watched my monologue at The Globes last night so I'm disappointed NBC haven't got more complaints. I'm slipping.

If jokes caused the easily offended to bleed internally, I'd do more stand up. pic.twitter.com/ScuOKExtwv

I made a joke about Caitlyn Jenner killing someone in her car. I'm #TransportPhobic.

Please, please, please let her host The @goldenglobes. Just don't let her drive.

As Ricky points out, any publicity is good publicity – especially if you’re a comedian with a penchant for getting controversial.
Still, this is even worse than the reaction he got for those Fappening Tweets he dropped last year.
