Whatever happened to Levi Johnston, Bristol Palin’s baby daddy who posed for ‘Playgirl’?
How real guys actually ? . . . Anyone remember #levijohnston? ????#noshade #shirtlessguys #playgirl #menintowels #tastytuesdayA post shared by Jacob Young (@gay_college_daily) on Levi Johnston.
Remember him? He’s the father of failed vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin’s grandson and one-time Playgirl model.As you may recall, Johnston burst into national consciousness in August 2008 when Sarah Palin announced that her 17-year-old daughter, Bristol, was five months pregnant with his child.
Not only that, but the two teenagers, who were high school sweethearts, were engaged to be married! Isn’t that exciting?!The wedding was called off, however, shortly after the election.In the ensuing months, Johnston did a series of high profile TV interviews, during which he talked about feeling used and discarded by the McCain campaign and never missed a chance to trash the Palins.Not only did he call B.S.
on Bristol’s post-pregnancy efforts to promote teen abstinence, but he said he was “pretty sure” Sarah knew her daughter was sexually active when, as Governor of Alaska, she publicly stated that kids should wait until marriage to have sex.Then in a bombshell interview with Vanity Fair in September 2009, Johnston claimed Sarah initially wanted to keep Bristol’s pregnancy a secret and even offered to adopt the baby and raise it as her own.The Palins responded by calling the claims “untrue, malicious, and appalling” and said Johnston was just “attention-seeking and desperate.”Johnston’s popularly reached its apex in November 2009 with a highly-publicized, highly-disappointing appearance in Playgirl, where he was purportedly paid $100,000 for six photos.
