James Smith on October 29th, 2001 accepted an award on
behalf of his late wife Police Officer Moira Smith for the Glamour Magazine
‘Woman of the Year Award’. James wrote in his post. “Moira was
killed on
September 11th, 2001 while rescuing thousands from the World Trade Center.
James was offended that the Olympian — whom he referred to
as Bruce Jenner — was among the 2015 award recipients.
James noted that he would be returning his wife’s award,
calling it a “slap in the face to the memory of our Hero.” Also because he found
it insulting to Moira Smith’s memory, and the memory of other heroic women who
have earned this award
Jenner herself has not spoken out about the controversy, but
it’s not the first she’s faced in recent days.
A spokeswoman for Glamour told the New York Post in a
statement: “We were proud to honor his wife … in 2001, and we stand by our
decision to honor Caitlyn Jenner. Glamour’s Women of the Year Awards recognize
women with a variety of backgrounds and experiences.
