Levi Johnston is badmouthing former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.
The 19-year-old budding model drops some new shocking bombshells:
1 She wanted to adopt Bristol’s baby.
In her quest to be vice-president, Palin, 45, wanted to keep daughter Bristol’s pregnancy a secret. So she and husband Todd offered to adopt the baby.
“She was nagging — she wouldn’t give up,” Levi writes. I think Sarah didn’t want people to know that her 17-year-old daughter was going to have a kid.”
2 She complained that being Governor was “too hard”.
After losing her vice-presidential bid, “she walked around the house pouting”, Levi writes. “She started talking about how nice it would
be to quit and write a book or do a show and make ‘triple the money’. It was, to her,
‘not as hard’.”
3 She used to retaliate against John McCain.
During the election, she belittled her running mate. “She would say things like ‘I brought everything to the table’ and ‘The majority of people were out there voting because of me’!” Levi claims. “She definitely thought she was running for president.”
4 She and Todd never slept together.
Levi says the couple, who eloped in 1988, “wouldn’t go anywhere together unless the cameras were out. In all the time Bristol and I were together, I’ve never seen them sleep in the same bedroom”.
5 She never hunts or fishes.
“She says she goes hunting and lives off animal meat — I’ve never seen it,” says Levi. “I’ve never seen her touch a fishing pole. She had a gun in her bedroom and one day she asked me to show her how to shoot it. I asked her what kind of gun it was, and she said she didn’t know, because it was in a box under her bed.”
A source close to Palin says, “Go through and you will see that he has already said the exact opposite in another publication.”
Sarah Palin
Sarah Louise Palin was born in February 1964 in Idaho is an American politician and commentator. Palin was a member of the Wasilla, Alaska, city council before becoming the state’s first female Governor in 2006.
In 2008, Republican presidential candidate John McCain chose Palin as his running mate, making her the first Alaskan on the national ticket of a major party and the first female vice-presidential nominee of the Republican Party.
Palin is a mother to five children, one of whom has been the center of controversy ever since the 2008 election. Palin’s teen daughter Bristol announced she was pregnant with then-boyfriend Levi Johnston. Since their first grandchild, Tripp, was born, the Palin family has been in a war of words with Johnston.
The former politician has most recently written her memoir, Going Rogue, that has sold more than two million copies. Since January 2010, she has also provided political commentary and hosted a television show, Sarah Palin’s Alaska.
Sarah Palin’s Alaska
Season finale of Sarah Palin’s Alaska is said to be the show’s last episode, Entertainment Weekly reports.
The former Alaska Governor’s TLC reality series averaged 3.2 million viewers per week, with its first episode delivering the network’s best-ever launch ratings.
Coming under fire for her wildlife exploits, including caribou hunting and fishing too close to bears, Palin’s Alaska also showcased the politician’s children and husband, Todd.
The Palin family also hosted Kate Gosselin and her brood of eight for an ill-fated camping trip shown on the series.
