"Me not being mature enough or something". That certainly does not sound like somebody who is convinced that this is the reason he cannot be with his child or get married.
And why does this young man only have an ultrasound picture of his child? That makes absolutely no sense whatsoever! Is he not allowed to have a picture of his own kid? Is that because the picture would not match the GVS video?
This poor guy sounds like his heart has been ripped out and he just emotionally drained. I truly believe that Levi is just an unsuspecting dupe in this whole affair. I have no idea what he knows, or what he is not allowed to know, but I definitely feel that there is much he is kept in the dark about.

Good Morning America talks to a clearly heartbroken Levi Johnston.

Hi Gryphen,
ReplyDeleteI really wish he would accept your invitation to contact you! I believe you could help him get through this ordeal.
that was so sad! it's really odd that the only pic he has is the ultra sound, doesn't every new parent has a wallet pic of the just-born infant? or in this case a cell=phone pic from the delivery room?
ReplyDeletetoo weird.
-have a wallet pic-
ReplyDeletewas he banned from attending the birth (which i think occurred at the end of january, not december)?
I am starting to feel really sorry for Levi. I think this poor boy has been kept out of the loop of the Trig deception.
ReplyDeleteI am almost convinced that he was probably not even the father of Trig. Of course, I think that Bristol is Trig's birth mother.
Levi thought Bristol was leaving Wasilla because SP did not want them together when actually she left Wasilla to cover-up her pregnancy with Trig and to keep him out of the loop.
I am curious though about those ultrasound pictures. Why would he carry those around and not an actual picture? What's up with that?
Remember in the SP biography "The Trailblazer" it was something in there about one of SP's kids seeing an ultrasound picture of Trig and she having to explain it away.
Is it possible that Levi is carrying around an ultrasound picture of Trig because he can't carry Trig's picture around with him? Still doesn't account for him not having a picture of Tripp but I am just saying.....
Does anyone know what gym Levi works out at? Where the reporter says Levi's heading....Gryphen, that's where you could run into Levi and have a chat....
ReplyDeleteLet me see if I understand...No job, for quite some time, and a nice newer ride with gas to operate, and a gym membership?????????????
ReplyDeleteHe must be getting paid handsomely by someone to talk the talk, and take the walk!
Levi learned his dad skills from his Dad. Where is he?
ReplyDeleteHe didn't look that sad, I love the New GINONROUS Red Truck of his...
ReplyDeleteunemployed, going to the gym in a nice new red truck...life can't suck that bad, just sayin'!
Levi does seem so sad and heartbroken. It is depressing to watch him in the clip. I'm impressed that you see that (and aren't being snarky, like alot of people would be).
ReplyDeleteLevi sure could use someone stable to talk to, considering all that's going on in his life, with his parents divorcing, mother charged with several felonies, a new son, conflicts with the son's mother, etc.
GINORMOUS! hah! that's what I get for writing in caps.
ReplyDeleteI felt for him in that clip. I do not think this was in anyway his doing. I just wish that Gino would step the hell out of both of their lives and let them live it. If she would do that maybe Levi and Bristol could make a go of it. But until the day Bristol turns woman enough to tell her mother to step off she will not have a life to her own.
ReplyDeleteI've stated this before on other blogs but my comments were "moderated" out.
ReplyDeleteGoogle some photos of Todd Palin and Levi Johnston.
Either Bristol found a man that resembled her father very strongly or there is some truth to the rumor that the Palin/Johnston family tie might perhaps be stronger than we know.
There was a rumor that Todd had been seeing Sherry Johnston while Sarah was away at college and that Levi was perhaps created by that dalliance.
He is the same age as Track Palin and some have speculated that Todd had the two women pregnant at the same time and chose to marry Sarah....
Just gossip, but gossip that really hasn't been explored before because others thought that it was not worth investigating.
Could be the reason that the Palins tried so desperately to keep Bristol from dating Levi a few years ago.
Take it for what you will; just something else to think about and at this point w/speculation ranging from Willow being Trig's mother to Bristol being mother of both Trig and Tripp, and to Sarah being mother or Trig but with irresponsible "wild ride" story hanging over her head, some might believe anything at this point.
Does anyone know the make and model of that truck? Or what year model it is? Seems like an awfully expensive ride for an 18-19 year old to be "driving to the gym" in... just sayin...
ReplyDeleteAKPetmom:
ReplyDeleteWow! just wow, my head did explode over that!
Usually there is a grain of truth behind "gossip", saying its "gossip" is a way of dismissing or discrediting the source....I would like to hear this one expanded on.
Re: What was written 2 post above this one...
ReplyDeleteCould someone with a tinypic or other pic account (which can remain anonymous) put together pics of comparison for us? P-U-H-L-E-E-Z?
AKPetMom,
ReplyDeleteNothing is impossible in a small town. I have an aunt and a couple of uncles that have the same mom as my dad and the same dad as my mom. Yea, it's confusing.
To every small town rumor there is usually some truth.
Would having a baby by your sibling increase the baby's chances of being born with DS?
I am not sure and just wondered.
View pics of Levi's truck here:
ReplyDeletehttp://picasaweb.google.com/Lyramia/LeviJohnston?feat=directlink
From the video, these are screen caps.
Here's the numbers:
ReplyDeleteSP/TP married 8/88 or 9/88
Track born 4/20/89
Levi born 5/3/90--one whole year after Track and almost 2 years after Palins were married.
(I got the birth dates from the Alaska court records, so they are likely correct.)
Still, there's probably more going on between the Palins and Johnstons than is visible from the surface.
LisanTX,
ReplyDeleteDid I hear somewhere that Levi and Sadi had an older brother that passed away?
Does anybody know anything about him? How old would he be now if he did exist?
Thanks for the truck pics, Ennealogic! :-)
ReplyDeleteLooks like some mighty fine wheels, all right.
anyone who wants to compare todd and levi, i made you a pic:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.flickr.com/photos/35027999@N05/3361779740/
BUT remember lisanTX above, her dates are correct.
still, todd could have had an affair early in his marriage.
Well there was that rumor that Trig could be Sherry Johnston's, maybe fathered by Todd or maybe Track. It was rumored Track had an oxycontin problem, we know Sherry does. The Down's was more likely in an older woman but now impossible in a younger. Now Sherry just happens to mention in her interview that she had a hysterectomy, but how would we know that was the truth and not just another red herring. Everyone started to dismiss Sherry as the mom of Trig after that. But how do you know. Sure would explain the "little brother" comment and "family love" of Mercede.
ReplyDeleteI meant to say Down Syndrome was not impossible in a younger woman, just less likely.
ReplyDeleteLisaTX, where are your links to proof of birthday dates for Track and Levi. Proof speaks louder than gossip any time. No offense meant just find many trolls out here want to keep confusing the issues.
ReplyDeleteand here's a slightly creepy composite with a grown-up todd (and SP) thrown in too.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.flickr.com/photos/35027999@N05/3361804888/
i think the real question is: who did bristol inherit the "tiny chin" she told greta VS she passed on to little tripp from? we can see SP and todd are well-endowed in the jaw department.
i don't think levi looks that much like todd (or like bristol on that note), but what does sherry's ex husband look like?
Yea, I remember Sherry mentioning her hysterectomy. I thought that it could be another red herring also but I then I thought that her stating this could have been her way of letting us know that Trig was definitely not hers baby.
ReplyDelete@AKPetMom: Wow! I had to duct tape my head after your post, after it exploded again! I kept thinking about who Levi looks like and whoop, there it is! He DOES look like the First Dud!!!
ReplyDeleteand if track palin was levi's half-brother he'd look like it, right? decide for yourself:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.flickr.com/photos/35027999@N05/3361937060/
all this from a rumor, but it's isort of nteresting. if anyone has a pic of keith johnston (levi's dad) let me know and i'll throw it in -just put its locale in a comment at flickr.
okay..now I am so creeped out...poor Levi...he seems pretty mixed up...sad really...WHY doesn't he have a photo of the babe- HIS babe ( either one tripp or trig? ) isn't he allowed to ? I keep thinking of watching him kiss the baby at the Convention - he did seem to care....
ReplyDeleteWHO does he have to talk to ? not his mom...not bristol....poor guy..
at some point the truth will slip out regardless of the gifts he has been given..
( and yeah small town....I would not be shocked at all there might be some incest issues- it is the number one state in the country with incestal rape cases....kind of worrisome...the creepy thing is that Levi does kind of look like Todd...)
Thanks also to Luna for the additional (& very interesting comparative) pics! :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat if Levi's Dad looks like track?
ReplyDeleteIMO if some people are going to try to suggest that Levi doesn't have a picture of his own kid then there's really not much hope for those people ever finding anything out about the Palin game. I mean come on folks, has he never had a chance to take a picture of his kid when he had the kid?
ReplyDeleteThis young redneck sewer mouthed punk has you goofs in his pocket. He's got pictures and that makes him part of the game. Get with the program!
Oh, and the truck, it's a ford 1/2 ton and it could be as old as 2000. It's probably a wornout company truck that a kid can get for about 4k if it's got lots of Alaska road miles on it. The first thing a redneck kid blows his paycheck on when he gets back from a month's work where he made 4 or 5k with OT hours, or more. A tradesman can gross 15k easily in the oil fields in a month so a kid apprentice can easily make half of that. The truck's the important thing to these brats cause mommy pays all the rest of the bills.
ReplyDeleteSo Don,
ReplyDeleteWhat are you really trying to say?
Don G...I agree with you to a point. To be honest, there are now so many pictures on the internet of Tripp, even those of Levi holding the baby, he could just right click on and cut out and put on his visor, jeez..
ReplyDeleteAnyway, more important would be the DATE of this ultrasound, and how many weeks gestation the baby was when it was taken. That's immediately what popped into my head. Usually you have an unltrasound at around 20 weeks, in a normal low risk pregnancy. That ultrasound could hold the key to any answers....

ReplyDeleteI doubt a hysterectomy would cause so much pain you would get addicted to Oxy.
ReplyDeleteI like oxy when I have had it, makes the world seem very calm.
It is not weird to mention the surgery if that was her excuse, but I don't think it's a very good one!
When you look at Track and Levi together, they both have deep set eyes with a prominent brow, very much the same.
ReplyDeleteLevi looked like a "deer in the headlights", Sarah and Todd have had a talking with him and he knows he has to "tow the line". He AND Mercede have had a good grilling from the Palins and my guess is that he knows he may be completely denied any relationship with his son if he breathes a word of what he really knows and his mother could land in jail, house be foreclosed upon, etc.
ReplyDeleteWhat he does not seem to understand is that he could fight back with a good publicist, tell all, write a book, do the talk show circuit, make some real money and fight the Palins. The question is....does he want to spend the rest of his life under their thumb or does he want to live his life?
Sounds like he had a real hand in the naming of the baby too...NOT!!!
ReplyDeleteFor the anon who asked me what I'm trying to say: I'm saying that Levi is lying for the Palin cause. If he wanted to have a picture of his son he would have one. Get real anon. If he didn't want to have a picture of his son then he's a liar again because he claims that his son is the most important thing in the world. Get with the program.
ReplyDeleteIf he says he doesn't have a picture of his son then her either is lying and he doesn't have it with him or he won't show it- Or - He doesn't care enough to have a picture. Your choice.
That's what I'm sayin.
But what's really getting interesting is that if the Star rag really did interview Mercede and they have proof with a picture or a recording, then Mercede has been had for saying that she didn't talk to the Star, she was overheard on a plane.
ReplyDeleteCredibility: The Star or Mercede. Maybe the jig's up for Mercede already!
If the people who want Sarah's head on a pike aren't members of teamsarah they should be. All you have to do is suffer the indignity of lying about how much you like her to get to be a member and then read what they are talking about. Even add a little bit from time to time if you're careful of what you say.
ReplyDeleteHere's a real good thread they have going on how they are all worried about what Levi is going to say.
http://www.teamsarah.org/forum/topics/levi-johnston-on-good-morning
Enjoy!
Is the Star article available on-line? Won't they say how they got the information? Mercedes did write to a facebook friend. When was that and was it not about the same message? This is muddled and it won't matter.
ReplyDeleteHere is what Star wrote on March 11, 2009:
ReplyDeleteNow Levi's sister Mercede is telling all exclusively to Star and the picture she paints of life in Wasilla, Alaska is not a pretty one. Bristol, 18, has virtually cut Levi out of the life of their two-month-old son Tripp
For more photos and details, including the hate-filled text message Bristol sent Levi
exclusive photos of the baby boy, pick up the March 23 issue of Star, on stands now!
http://www.starmagazine.com/news/15341
Is there a more current article?
Remember the Bristol Palin/Greta Van Susteren interview in mid-February? In the midst of that interview several seemingly camera-phone pictures were framed in the background, also seemingly of Levi holding a newborn Tripp (funny thing, Levi looked in those pictures EXACTLY like he does in this interview).
ReplyDeleteThose fuzzy pictures either had to be taken with Bristol's camera-phone, Levi's camera-phone, or someone else's, to which Levi would have access for long enough to send himself a copy of the picture.
You have to think, with all those hundreds and hundreds of gifts that had been sent to Bristol and Levi last fall, that they exchanged enough of them to get Levi a camera-phone if he didn't already have one.
Maybe that's how he got his spiffy new truck... (Yeah, Don G., he probably bought it USED!)
I suspect Levi was just trying to be pathetic for this latest interview (I guess I'm agreeing with Don G. on this one)
I really don't see that Levi is all "sad" in this interview. I would also like to know who arranged the interview. Did the reporters just happen to catch up with him in his truck? The reporters don't look really comfortable to me. Levi is mumbling. He makes little eye contact, no energy. Evasive is the best word to describe his behavior. For all the world he looks like he really wants no part of all of this. Now we have two very staged, very uncomfortable interviews. What the media is being fed cannot be the real or whole story. I also agree wholeheartedly with previous posters, that if the Palins or Johnstons want privacy, then reject the interview opportunities, or say no comment.
ReplyDeleteI didn't see sadness either...just trying to "think" of what NOT to say, and watch how his eyes dart around...! Mumbled, evasive, and Sadie "I didn't say it" with a smirk
ReplyDelete(look @ me!)
I do think the reporter's chased him down...but he has obviously be coached on what NOT to say and seemed like he was desperately trying to remember that.
Also, he probably got his a$$ chewed out for making GVS look like a fool with her Bristol interview.
It was spin & damage control IMO.
Anon @12:39. I have the 3/23 Star Mag, it came out last week...they always have a week ahead print date. Star Mag explicity says Mercede gave an interview. Quoted:
ReplyDelete" But in a world-exclusive interview, Levi's sister, Mercede Johnston tells Star that the unwed teen mother actually broke up with him more than a month ago, is not attending school, and rarely lets her baby daddy see their son. "
I posted some of the main points from this article in an earlier post on this blog. The mag also has a pic of Mercede with the baby, AND one of Levi with the baby. There is also a pic captioned "Three generations of Johnston men- Levi, his dad Keith, and Little Tripp (who is obviously newborn). And I swear I think the picture was taken in the Plain's Wasilla Home...you can see the TV wall unit in the background with a picture of a young man (Track?) in uniform...this is the same background Sarah has used for her Zeigler interview.
And, BTW, Levi looks exactly like a younger version of his father...same shaped head, nose, and goofy smile.
There is no way this was overheard on an airplane...the interview says numerous times that Mercede was interviewed.
Now Star has to come out and defend itself. And if that happens then the jig is definitely up.
ReplyDeleteOh, and Kajo, sorry for the outburst. It's just that I'm a little sensitive about sticking up for native indians when they need to be responsible for their own actions. I'll get over it because I know your intentions are the best!
Not to mention too Kajo, that I would rather see them slaughter a family of Caribou Barbies than kill a wolf or a caribou for no reason other than fun.
ReplyDeleteSo there's a rumor now that Levi is the son of first Dud? Huh! I think someone needs to do a sequel to Deliverance...Instead of canoes, and paddles, have snowmobiles in the boreal forest, starring the Wasilla/Willow hillbillys instead. To paraphrase Larry the Cable Guy, we could call it Squeal or no Squeal. I'm just imagining how the conversation would go, when Dud breaks it to Levi that he is his Dad. Maybe go all Starwars? Levi, I am your Father.
ReplyDeleteIs there a link to Mercede with Levi talking to the ABC reporter? I never found it. I read somewhere a while back that Star Magazine stands by the article.
ReplyDeleteIs Mercede the one to say her conversation was overheard on an airplane? This is getting sticky. No one with clout cares enough to request Star to follow up?
Daisydem, I don't know if Levi is sad, it could be that he makes others feel sad. He is sad, like a sad case. As for the mumbling, he could also be on meds or whatever. As far as I know he isn't even mowing lawns or what they do to earn gas money in Alaska. How much to fill up that truck? I know young twenty something men who would love to have wheels to get to their work. Levi does need to move on with the sad sack act or what it is.
There are millions of rumors. Right now most have nothing to do with the possiblity of the Palin's hoax of a pregnancy. I believe it was a hoax because there is nothing solid to back up the news items about Sarah giving birth to Trigg.
hmm, i went to the store and i meant to look at (but not buy) star to see the "3 johnston generations" shot with keith johnston. but i forgot.
ReplyDeleteit's worth nothing that mercede and levi really look like each other, and look like their mom, so they probably have the same dad -and it's probably keith.
i made the todd, track, levi line-ups for fun, i'd gladly do the same with a keith pic if i had one. just playing with the rumors.
and i don't know how sad levi was in the "candid truck interview," but it made me pretty fucking sad. -no matter what happens to SP's career levi, bristol, and tripp are kinda screwed by it. sherry appears separately screwed by the oxy issues, and damn if all the other johnston and palin kids won't be affected too. and that sucks! drugs, (old) divorces, special needs kids, and high schoolers having babies are hard enough for families not in the media spot-light.
