Sarah Palin mad at her daughter’s baby daddy
Oh snap, it looks like Levi Johnston has messed with the wrong baby mama mama.
Johnston, in an episode of the Tyra Banks Show set to air Monday, April 6, puts out some dirty, sexy laundry about his romance with former fiancee Bristol Palin.
His mom, Sherry, and sister Mercede, also get their 15 minutes of fame on the talk show.
According to clips, Johnston, 18, implies Bristol’s mama, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, probably knew he was getting it on til the break of dawn with then 17-year-old Bristol.
Johnston lived under the same roof with Bristol Palin and her family. Yeah, that couldn’t end well.
See Celebrity Worship blog entry here.
Now the governor’s family is ticked at tacky Levi and his tasteless mother.
“Bristol did not even know Levi was going on the show. We’re disappointed that Levi and his family, in a quest for fame, attention, and fortune, are engaging in flat-out lies, gross exaggeration, and even distortion of their relationship,” a statement from a Palin family representative posted on People.comsays.
“Bristol’s focus will remain on raising Tripp, completing her education, and advocating abstinence,” the statement continues. “It is unfortunate that Levi finds it more appealing to exploit his previous relationship with Bristol than to contribute to the well being of the child.”
Bristol Palin and Johnston broke up earlier this year, just months after Tripp was born.

What a scumbag family. I’m surprised they didn’t go on Maury Povich to contest the paternity of the baby. Oh wait, if it was determined that the baby wasn’t his, then they wouldn’t be able to milk their 15 minutes of fame, or the Palin family’s money anymore.By gotusome

Please….it still takes two to tango. One has had their shot at the limelight so why shouldn’t the other have their turn. It probably would have been over a long now if it hadn’t been for keeping up appearences. Seems to me that the baby’s mama mama’s family should have been more important than her career. Women want a career and a family. One is going to suffer, usually the later. Once you decide to have numerous children, then YOU should raise them, nuture and guide them. They are your resonsibility and not someone elses. The father should be able to have his say even if it doesn’t paint the whole picture lily white.By jolly roger

Sarah Palin was asking for this. This isn’t the first time two horny teenagers added up to one baby. Why would she let them sleep under the same roof? Oh and were was his mother?By who cares

The state of Alaska should collect all the money he gets from his “bragging” about getting an underage girl preggo and then dumping her. He doesn’t have a job so how else will he support his child. America shoulod not glamorize teen sex and should demand he take responsibility for paying for his fun in the sun. No wonder he isn’t still with her. He is still immature and his druggie mom is trying to get more money for her pills.By Rich

If the guy wants to air his dirty laundry, so be it. I doubt he’ll add more than what we already know anyway. As for the young mother speaking on abstinence - mistake! Kids always point out stuff like this saying, “Who are you to tell me when you’ve done it!” We’ll see an increase in teen pregnancy and everyone will want to blame our new president/administration rather than the teenage mothers running around talking about it all - good, bad or indifferent.By MoneyistheGOPsGOD

You Palin fans are Idiots. You already elected GWB who almost single handidly ruined the country. As for Bristol Palin…Many in alaska believe that she is also the mother of Sarah Palins retarded baby. Investigate it. Bristol was absent from school for 8 months with “mono”. Gov. Palin didnt announce she was pregnant until about 2 weeks before the baby was born.By Wenis

Glad to see Bristol is “advocating abstinence” - It’s easy to take the moral high road but a lot harder to actually live you life that way - maybe republicans should make their motto “do as i say - not as i do”By Floyd the Barber

Bristol & Palin family’s hypocrisy make me chortle. These Alaskan hillbillies remind me of my ex. When we were dating she became pregnant twice and both times chose the abortion route. But once we were hitched, this “born again” phony became very anti-abortion due to her strict evangelical beliefs. You see, by then she felt it was okay about deciding what’s right and wrong for you and others. Typical republican/ religious right phony baloney!By Who really cares?

So let’s think about this…who cares? The only reason this is coming out is because Sarah ran for VP. This happens everyday and for anyone to say it is only Republicans that do this need to think again. Obviously we hear about children that are 13 getting pregnant, that’s horrible! She was 17, yes she should have not been sleeping under the same roof as her boyfriend but it was going to happen one way or another. So until all of you complaining can sit back and say that there kids listen to everything that they have to say stop! I’m a parent and I wish that everything I told my child to do, he would do, right! Come on, this happens everyday in Butler County and world wide. Face the facts and look around. To all of you who have kids and are laughing at the fact that this has happened to a family in the news, get your children tested and don’t believe everything they tell you. I was a teenager at 1 time and I held off on having sex, and that is not because my family brought me up that way it was because I didn’t want to.By Robert

This whole thing is sad on so many levels. First this isnt the first teenage pregnancy and it wont be the last. I am a mother of a teenage girl and work full time her father does too and guess what we still manage to pay attention and communicate with her on a daily basis go figure! Funny how mom could have a political podeum on Abstinence and so forth but leaves out mothering,communication and education!. No way in the world we could consider this our world leader and for everyone to constantly place Obama in this crap is ridiculous! This country has been in the crapper for eight years and now suddenly a black man gets in office and with in six months we are suddenly worse? Are you kidding me? We are finnally beginning to see the bullshit Bush left us in and capping it off for a better start and everyone acts as if Obama did this.Funny when everything is in the shitter and the baby mama’s happen to be white we can find reasoning or understanding but when its black teens its everyday crap and no one thinks its news worthy its just commical. All of you guys are sad!!!!!!!
