Bristol Palin on deadbeat dad Levi Johnston having another baby: “I’m upset about it”


For what it’s worth, In Touch Weekly scored an exclusive interview with Bristol Palin. They have Bristol’s reaction to her ex and baby daddy, Levi Johnston, fathering yet another child just three years after his first oops baby. Bristol of course says that Levi isn’t visiting their son, Tripp, while Levi has repeatedly claimed that Bristol and her mother are blocking his attempts to see the child. I think it’s probably true that the Palins tried to cut Levi out of Tripp’s life, and I think that Levi just gave up, stopped paying child support and stopped trying to see Tripp. That’s not how Bristol sees it, though. It was just a couple of years ago that she reunited with Levi and announced their re-engagement on the cover of US Weekly. Now he’s got a new girlfriend and a new baby on the way when he can’t be bothered to maintain contact with his first kid.

Here’s what Bristol told In Touch:

Her reaction to hearing that Levi’s girlfriend is pregnant
“I said, ‘No Way, shut up!'”

On her feelings about it
“I think it’s a little bit of everything and a lot of confusion. I’m upset about it.”

On Levi’s parenting
“He’s seen Tripp twice in the past four months. He once went an entire year without seeing him at all.

“I wish Levi would be like, ‘Hey Bristol, can I have Tripp for the weekend? I would be so willing and glad to do that. He continues to lie.”

On Tripp’s relationship with his dad
“Levi is a stranger to Tripp. He doesn’t understand that Levi is his dad.

“I don’t want him to go to elementary school with 10 half-siblings. That would really affect him.”

On Levi’s new kid
“I hope that this child is raised with two parents. He needs to step up to the plate and be there. I thought he had learned his lesson the first time.”

[From In Touch, print edition, April 23, 2012]

Well I hope that Bristol is telling the truth and that she’s making sure Levi has access to Tripp. As we mentioned yesterday, Levi and his newish pregnant girlfriend, Sunny Oglesby, went on The Insider to explain her pregnancy. Levi’s quote on how he knocked up another one is priceless so I’ll repeat it again “There was a time we went to the cabin and forgot the birth control pills and, you know, about a month later we found out we were having a baby.” Uh derp. In that interview, Sunny defended Levi as a dad, so I’m hoping she’ll be instrumental in making sure he visits Tripp. Maybe Levi will realize what he’s missing out in his oldest kid’s life once he has another baby. Or not. He’s not the brightest or the most responsible.

    They’re all derps as far as I’m concerned, but her face looks great, who cares how she got it.

  2. SleepyJane says:

    Hers is one of the best post-op faces I’ve ever seen. I wish I had her surgeons name and number.

  3. Franny says:

    She looks really good now. That is about all I have to add to this story.

  4. TheOriginalKitten says:

    Wow, she’s had a lot of work done huh? I hope she isn’t actually surprised about this. Dude is dumb as a bag of rocks.

  5. Agnes says:

    hello, alaska cat face. bristol and her family are liars and manipulators, and levi seems like a douche, so i’m pretty sure that they all deserve one another. 🙂

  6. marie says:

    and I’m upset that I actually read this, but you guys are right, she does look good..

  7. lucy2 says:

    He needs to stop going camping, every time he does he has another kid.
    I thought she moved to Los Angeles or Arizona? If you move your kid a thousand miles away, it is tough for the dad to visit every weekend. Though I doubt he tries at all.
    This sounds like she’s back in Alaska though – guess all the reality show stardom and college didn’t work out.

    • the original bellaluna says:

      I think her story changed from buying a house in AZ to not wanting Tripp to grow up in H-wood to missing her family.

  8. Jennifer12 says:

    What she said was right, true and sad: who wants to go to school with a bunch of half siblings when you barely know your dad nor any of his conquests? If Levi wanted to see his son, he would. He could go to court, he could petition- he doesn’t care. He has eked out a living doing Playgirl shoots and interviews, so he has some money and could pay his child support or push to see Tripp. He doesn’t. He believes he has star potential and is trying to ride the anti-Palin train to easy money and fame. What a tool.

  9. Baylor says:

    So, here’s a question:

    If in a year or so this new girl goes crying to the press about how Levi is a deadbeat, what will his supporters say then?

    • SleepyJane says:

      All in due time…all in due time.

    • keats says:

      ‘Who?’

    • Leticia says:

      Baylor, in their minds the blame will still be placed with Sarah Palin.

    • lucy2 says:

      He has supporters?

      • Baylor says:

        Sadly, yes he has supporters.

        True, if this new girl comes out crying later they will say the Palins paid her or influenced her somehow.

        Notice Bristol hasn’t said she will keep the two children apart. Don’t know why people are assuming she will. I would think it would be easy enough to do once Levi is gone from that other girls life as well.

        BTW, last we heard/saw his sister Mercedes, she was posing for Playboy. We haven’t heard a peep from her about this new development. Guess if she isn’t bashing the Palins then she keeps her mouth shut. Too bad b/c I would think she would love to go on and on about planning a shower for this girl and how much they all love her and how she loves them unlike Bristol…..etc, etc.

  10. jc126 says:

    For one thing, I have my doubts that Bristol made it easy for him to see their kid; she was living in AZ and CA within the recent past. Also, I don’t trust anything out of a Palin’s mouth. I am sure they make it hard for him to do even in Alaska.
    Second, the only things she has a right to be upset about it is the lack of child support (and I’ve never heard of a 20 year old having to pay SO much support a month, holy crap) and, if she’s telling the truth about visitation which I doubt, not seeing the kid.
    Otherwise, it’s none of her business what her ex does.

  11. Violet says:

    Bristol has had a lot of cosmetic work done, but her surgeon is excellent because she looks much better than she did before all the work. I wonder if she’s happy or appalled that she looks more like her mother now?

    Tripp probably will have more half-siblings by the time he starts school, and they’ll probably all be by different mothers. Not that it really matters, the kid is going to need therapy anyway, given the family he was born into.

  12. OXA says:

    Bristol is a Palin so if her lips are moving……
    She moved states away making it difficult for him to see his son and I believe it was all planned to make it next to impossible to share custody. Also she left Calif so she did not have to share custody or pay him child support in and equal opportunity state.

  13. Neelyo says:

    If she’s upset about it nobody will know because she can’t move her face anymore.

  14. anti-icon says:

    If she thought being a single mom was hard, it appears that co-parenting is IMPOSSIBLE for this child-woman. I personally believe Levi would have a relationship with his son IF Bristol (these names, eyeroll) would be cooperative and kind. For the sake of innocent little Tripp (again, eyeroll at these names). Women all over this great big country of ours have to swallow their anger/pride and work cooperatively with the father of their children, FOR THE SAKE OF THE CHILD. Why can’t these two people do it????? Because of the attitude/entitlement of Palin…and how she herself was raised. Fighters. That’s all they know.

    • person3514 says:

      Please don’t hate Bristol! It is the best race in the world to attend, in a lovely state, that makes lovely moonshine. Bristol Palin wishes she were half as great as Bristol, TN and the bump and run!

      I like nascar to much. Sorry =P

  15. Jo 'Mama' Besser says:

    I don’t know how Beta-Daddy even brushes his teeth each week without falling into a seizure due to the act’s intellectual demands. Do not pass ‘vasectomy’, do not collect fourteen unwed mothers. ‘

    ‘All your birth control are belong to us.’ That’s still true.

    And Face-Palin,

    Listen melonhead, those half-siblings are the boy’s family, too. Or have you decided that this new baby who’s still in utero isn’t good enough for your banal dancing ass? I know your blitzkrieg strategy when you get stuck with something you feel like doing is skip town and drop out of school, but that half-sibling is more your baby’s business than yours. Look, you’re the one who mated with an idiot and spite disguised as parental concern doesn’t change that.

    A couple of brain damaged reprobates, that pair. Levi, I want a one thousand word essay from you detailing the differences between dropping out, butting out and pulling out. This knowledge will be of the greatest importance to you in the coming years at all of your future hearings. Bristol, baby: define ‘canard’–and no cheating off your PR lackey.

    LEARN!!!!!

    • anti-icon says:

      LOL. Preach it, Jo Mamma. (No one could have said it better!)

      • Jo 'Mama' Besser says:

        Well, I did study the Alexander Technique of Anonymously Shaming R-Listers Through Didactic Pissiness.

        And I learned it well.

  16. WOM says:

    By the way, Sunny Oglesby is not a “teacher. ” She works at a pre-school so I suspect she has (at the most) an Early Childhood Education diploma. I’m not knocking her career choice, I am just churlish that she’s being presented as being on par with people who have four-year education degrees.

  17. Meanchick says:

    Bristol Palin judging? Really? She picked him. She went back to him a couple of times. If she is anything like mommy, she likes d**k, a LOT! Also, she was never going to attend ASU. I an ASU student and when the rumors started, a lot of students were pissed. ASU Cronkite is a competitive school and there are enough rich brats who don’t belong there already! Our Dean sent out an email saying that this girl would NOT be attending ASU.

  18. KellyinSeattle says:

    Well, whatever drama the two evoked, the baby is adorable.

  19. the original bellaluna says:

    I may be wrong, but didn’t he get another girl pregnant in between Bristol and this chick? I seem to recall reading something about that awhile back.

    Anyway, at their ages, they should know that missing a pill means you double up the next day; missing two means you double up two days in a row and use another form of birth control for the next 7 days or until your next cycle.

    There ARE other forms of BC, you ijiots.
    Foam; gel; condoms…

    And how long were they in that cabin, anyway?

    He is a huge douche. Someone take his “Daddy” card away, please.
