Caitlyn Jenner has remained defiant after being called out for using the R-word on social media in a negative context.

It comes after Jenner yesterday had an accidental viral tweet, proudly declaring she was happy to use the word - while also misspelling it as “RETARTED.”

Jenner doubled down after tweet, which has been viewed more than 16 million times, opened her up to much mockery on the platform.

Not only did the reality TV star scold Page Six for focusing on her when there are bigger issues happening around the world, but she also used the R-word again in her take-down.

“It’s RETARDED that the Biden admin frees up another $10 BILLION to IRAN! And losers at @PageSix go on to lecture me about how offensive the word is,” she wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

“GET THE HELL OVER IT. How about focusing on how dangerous and RETARDED freeing up $10 BILLION to Iran is.”

The former Keeping Up With the Kardashians star then claimed she was denied a right of reply as the outlet published the story four minutes before they reached out to her for comment via email.

However, the 74-year-old was more outraged that the publication opted to cover her comment instead of the real news about US President Joe Biden’s latest funding of Iran.

“Shame on you @PageSix and writer @nickhautman for lying and even more shame for not covering any context in the UNFREEZING ANOTHER 10 BILLION $ for IRAN!” she wrote in a follow-up tweet.

It was just yesterday Jenner was called out for using the R-word in response to Donald Trump Jr. complaining that the word is not used as commonly now as it was back in years ago.

“I know you’re not allowed to use the R-word that was a big part of our vernacular growing up if you’re my age, but there has to be exceptions, right???” Trump Jr. wrote on X as he also fired up about Biden’s new cash injection.

“Because this is f&$king re$?&;ed! How much do the democrats hate the world? Do they ever learn?”

Jenner then proudly responded, “I’ll say it RETARTED [sic]!”

After X users pointed out the glaring typo, the former I Am Cait star corrected herself.

“Excuse me… RETARDED,” she wrote, before adding, “Omg I immediately respelled it properly in the comments. epic ironic fail, I get it.”

Despite her correction, users still roasted Jenner for the typo.

“Learn how to spell it first, maybe?” one user wrote, while another commented, “The jokes really do write themselves.”

“Uh-oh Caitlyn is thirsty for love & attention. She’s posting non stop & trying to be as controversial as she can,” wrote yet another.

There were some critics on Jenner’s side, who praised her for rising above.

“Love how you just rolled with it! Very funny,” commented one, while another said, “It takes balls to admit when you’re wrong.”

A third commented: “I like people who can laugh at themselves. The world needs more people with that ability.”
