Levi Johnston is once again dissing her former future mother-in-law (and grandmother of his son) Sarah Palin. Here’s what the 18-year-old told Vanity Fair:
On Sarah putting her career above her family: “Even before she was nominated [for VP] there wasn’t much parenting in that house. Sarah doesn’t cook, Todd doesn’t cook—the kids would do it all themselves: cook, clean, do the laundry, and get ready for school. Most of the time [my ex] Bristol would help her youngest sister with her homework, and I’d barbecue chicken or steak on the grill.”
On Sarah fighting with her husband, Todd, who slept in a separate room during the Republican National Convention: “There was a lot of talk of divorce in that house … times when Sarah and Todd would mention it and sound pretty serious.”
On Sarah asking her daughter Bristol to keep Bristol’s pregnancy a secret: “She told me that once Bristol had the baby she and Todd would adopt him. That way, she said, Bristol and I didn’t have to worry about anything. Sarah kept mentioning this plan. She was nagging—she wouldn’t give up. She would say, ‘So, are you gonna let me adopt him?’ We both kept telling her we were definitely not going to let her adopt the baby. I think Sarah wanted to make Bristol look good, and she didn’t want people to know that her 17-year-old daughter was going to have a kid.”
On Sarah upholding a fake reputation that she hunts and fishes: “She says she goes hunting and lives off animal meat — I’ve never seen it. 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.”
On Sarah in Alaska following the election: “Sarah was sad for a while. She walked around the house pouting [and] a week or two after she got back she started talking about how nice it would be to quit and write a book or do a show and make ‘triple the money.’ She would blatantly say, ‘I want to just take this money and quit being governor.’ She started to say it frequently, but she didn’t know how to do it. When she came home from work, it seemed like she was more and more stressed out.”
