Reality show co-star Kye Massey ALSO thinks the confrontation in the bar between Bristol Palin and a "liberal hater" was staged.

Courtesy of TMZ:

Palin got into it with a guy named Stephen Hanks at a bar on the Sunset Strip Thursday night. Hanks told us it was NOT a setup, but we're told Massey doesn't buy it. 

According to our sources, Massey -- who is starring with Bristol in a reality show for the BIO Channel -- feels it was a little too convenient that so many cameras were there to catch the confrontation. 

Our sources say Massey feels the producers of the show were behind it all, but that Bristol had NO part in it. We're told Kyle feels that Bristol would never have agreed to something like that and that Bristol has been nothing but genuine and honest with Kyle so far. 

According to our sources, Massey is not happy with the direction the show has taken. We're told Massey feels the show is now "sleazy" and thought he was signing on for a scripted show ... and not a reality show. 

Well this is what I have been saying since it first happened.

 I am well aware that reality shows are completely phony and that all of the conflicts are staged for the camera. That's why I don't watch the damn things!

Besides my daughter has worked on a few reality shows as well and I have heard what kinds of things the producers fake in an attempt to make them interesting. And yes, the participants are almost always in on the plan.  Especially since it often requires more than one take to get it right.

Of course Massey is foolish to believe this about Bristol: Kyle feels that Bristol would never have agreed to something like that and that Bristol has been nothing but genuine and honest with Kyle so far. 

Yeah buddy there is an ex-hockey player in Wasilla who used to feel that EXACT same way.

Here, go ahead and watch it again and tell me if you don't agree that Kyle and I are right.

Bristol can be a nasty piece of work, that is for sure. But she does NOT get into people's faces like that unless she has protection.  And if that guy were an unknown person she would have no idea whether or not he might hit or injure her.And there is nobody close enough to stop him if he did.

Bristol is like her mother, she either sends others to do her dirty work, or makes nasty comments from the safety of Facebook or text messsages.

I know, I've seen them.

    In other words, Kyle & Bristol's producers realized they f-ed up and no one's buying the "confrontation" was spontaneous, so they sent Kyle out to do damage control and at least try and make Bristol look innocent and sympathetic.

    Kyle's statement is just the latest scripted moment in this whole scripted "drama."

    Seems as though EVERYTHING a Palin touches turns out badly. Kyle should have been aware of this episode if it is going to be shown on the show. Bristles looks awful in that photo with Kyle, by the way.

    This is a SMASHING review of The Rogue!
    ---
    In the case of Sarah Palin, the portrait is one of narcissism disguised as selfless public service, serious multigenerational family dysfunction disguised as family honor and values, and self-deceiving religious conviction as a call to political power.

    McGinniss begins his book with an explanation of how he came to live next door to the Palin family. Trying to find a place to rent for several months while he conducted his research, he planned to get a temporary place in Anchorage. As luck would have it, a property owner in Wasilla (not among the Palin supporters) who was acquainted with McGinniss from a previous visit to the area contacted him about the availability of the property next door to Palin on Lake Lucille. It had previously been inhabited by a halfway house run amok in which the basement had been temporarily converted to a meth lab.

    Within the confines of the halfway house were men who had served prison time for a variety of crimes, not exactly the kind of next door neighbors one would choose, though the Palins seemed to get along with them just fine. Later, when McGinniss had moved in to the vacant house, Sarah Palin, now in the glare of the national public spotlight day after day, took to her Facebook page to claim McGinniss was peering over the fence into her young daughter's bedroom, something she had not previously complained about when the next door neighbors may have had such a history. McGinniss thoroughly discredits this claim in his book.

    The ploy of Palin's claim on Facebook worked to perfection as she endeared herself even more deeply to her national audience with the aid of Fox News' Glenn Beck as well as the mainstream media. But, while the national audience was being whipped into a frenzy, Wasillans were rolling their eyes and concluding, "that's just the Palins."

    The Rogue is the story of an ordinary person with average intelligence, motivated by a narcissistic vision, empowered by family bullies willing to dispose of personal integrity, who achieves a meteoric rise in popularity due to a naive and bone-headed political calculation by her political party's presidential nominee. Packaged with outward beauty and possessing the "Mean Girl" experience to know how to use it, the portrait of Sarah Palin is one to admire from a distance. The closer you get, the feeling is not one of attraction but one of revulsion, if not pity.

    The polarization which marks the life of Sarah Palin as she performs on the national stage is not narrowed by this book. It will add to that polarization, not by fabrication or biased authorship, but by McGinniss lifting the veil behind which both the Palin supporters and her opponents view her performance presently. Those who oppose her now will oppose her more. Those who support her now will continue to build a Palin apologetic that will serve their own self-deception further. Some of the supporters will quietly move to the other side because rationality will require it. Some will remain in her camp but would be relieved if she would simply "go away" from the spotlight. Others will stand firm in their support because of their admiration of her style, rather than her substance. Still others will stand firm in their support of her because she represents a blended ideology of religion and political power that does not normally reach this level of notoriety before it dies under the weight of human ethics and the undeniability of American pluralism.

    HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

    'MeAgain' has more posts!

    In answer to the question of whether Sarah is running:

    'If I knew the answer to that question, I would definitely share it. The only stuff I've heard about will she/won't she is that she wanted Todd to hold off on registering for a race because she felt if people saw Todd wasn't going to be there at such a crucial time for candidates, then people might assume she wasn't running.

    Todd didn't think she should drag it out like this--he felt it might alienate the small base they have left. (it is NOT care or concern which drives him to think that way, it's the worry that the biggest well will run dry...he certainly enjoys his PAC funded debit card) She thinks if she shows up on fox occasionally and spouts a talking point or two, she is still "in the game".

    For all the times she mentions this and other blogs, picks apart Joe and other writers...for as much as she mentions the most mundane things...she NEVER mentions running for president. (insofar as I have been told by my source and have observed for myself via the portion of her emails that I've seen)

    It's the proverbial "elephant in the room".

    I don't know, when Bristol was having fun with her rainbow and unicorn friends in the magical world of Juneau, she was blunt and not afraid of life. She always defended her family, even if they were whores or has sex with prostitutes or were horrible Governors or whatnot.

    Bristol is having too much fun not being afraid of life and being blunt and hanging out with her Juneau friends and having manicures with Tripp and Aunt Willow and whatnot to worry about the haters. People should just mind their own business when Bristol is out shooting her reality tv show and whatnot. Bristol is a private person who isn't afraid to go out with no makeup and her facial reconstructive dental work.

    Sorry Kyle, I just don’y buy it that Bri$tol was unaware of the set up at the bar.

    Remember, this is Bri$tol “Big Middle Finger to America” Palin, who gave her classless, undignified, uncalled for retort on national television during DWTS.

    I do not believe that she has the presence of mind, the quickness of mind to confront someone and use polite terminology in her accusations. I believe Bri$tol automatically and naturally gravitates towards vulgar and cruel expressions. She gave herself away, of being in on this silly bar display, when she used the words homosexual and African American.

    Isn’t it interesting though, that when Bri$tol repeated the heckler’s reference to her mother $arah, Bri$tol used his term: whore. Now what does THAT tell you ?!?

    There's so much that points to it NOT being staged though. Bristol's facebook comments both public and private. Bristol doesn't bring on drama. And I doubt a staging would have included the line about Rice.

    Trust me I've seen too much to believe Bristol would approve of something like this.

    Bristol was hurt at the man's ignorance and immaturity. Like she was hurt at the Johnston's same behavior.

    When they first told us she was going to LA to make a (un)Reality Show, we were told it was for a charity. Any word on who that charity is?

    Kyle must be totally stupid to now see through that fake grifter and see the greed oozing out of every pore. Nothing about her is real and honest. Ever. It's a genetic impossibility for her to tell the truth.

    One of the other (un)Reality shows..one of the "Housewife of" group had a husband commit suicide recently and he had told his friends how it destroyed their marriage and their lives...that every minute of the show was scripted and planned out to the last detail. I feel absolutely sure this show is exactly the same and that scene in the bar was completely and totally set up. Nothing about it had any appearance of "reality".

    Seems Sarah's admonition to Bristol to do something to make sure that show wasn't a flop is being taken seriously. I don't think this little episode is going to save the show.

    _____

    Hey, nobody is more sorry than I am that the National Enquirer snagged a copy of THE ROGUE before publication and trumpeted a few “sensational” stories from it.

    That led the New York Times to break their agreement to run a review the day before the Sept. 20 publication, and instead run it on Sept. 15.

    That one review was blistering. Maybe the worst I’ve ever had, going back twelve books and forty-two years. (Don’t have time to pull out my scrapbooks and check.)

    But National Enquirer + that one review gave MSM an excuse to dismiss THE ROGUE, rather than consider my criticisms of mainstream lack of coverage of the real Sarah Palin.

    Suckups to power such as Howie Kurtz of Daily Beast and CNN pontificated on panel shows a week ago that THE ROGUE was not worth reading. Not that he’d read it.

    By the time I started doing interviews last week, the MSM had its meme: THE ROGUE is tabloid trash that relies on anonymous sources who tell salacious stories about Sarah.

    Nobody pointed out that if all the items National Enquirer turned into headlines were put together, they would take up only about three pages in a 320-page book.

    All in all, it made for a long week as Piers Morgan, the women of The View, Joy Behar, Martin Bashir, etc. etc. came at me with fangs bared.

    That was fine. I’ve been dealing with hostile interviewers since 1969, when many in the MSM of the time attacked me for having had the gall to write disparaging things about the man who was then President: Richard Nixon.

    I was slightly annoyed that the cowardly lion Keith Olbermann, after bashing my book and me on the Bill Maher show–even while admitting that he hadn’t read it–canceled my scheduled appearance with him last week, apparently afraid to confront me face to face.

    Rachel Maddow and Terry Gross of Fresh Air wouldn’t even schedule me.

    “Morning Joe” also canceled.

    I must have committed a truly egregious crime in order to turn MSNBC hosts into clones of those at Fox News.

    What do they have in common?

    Fear of Sarah Palin.

    Even though she holds no office, nor ever will again, MSM cowers in anticipation of her lash.

    And they don’t like being told they didn’t do their job in 2008 and haven’t done it since, having made no effort to see the grotesque face that lies behind the snazzy mask.

    I got behind the mask. I did find the real Sarah Palin.

    But it’s a whole lot easier to try to kill the messenger than it is to read the message.

    Nonetheless, ebb is turning to flow as reviewers beyond the beltway/NYTimes axis read the book.

    This, for example, from Toronto.

    And from Seattle, today, we have this.

    Two more weeks of publicity coming up.

    Unfortunately, given threats I’ve recently received, I’ve been advised not to announce in advance where I’ll be appearing, or when.

    The attempts at intimidation go on, from the bilious slurs of Breitbart to the crazed rantings of a blogger soliciting donations to SarahPAC for “Todd’s legal defense fund” to pay his lawyers after he gets arrested for assaulting me so badly that I am hospitalized because of the injuries he will inflict.

    I’m serious. There are people out there spewing stuff like that.

    Especially after Tucson, they can’t be ignored.

    But if you’d like to get a longer view and larger perspective, please read this Sam Tanenhaus story
    in last Sunday’s NYTimes Sunday Review section. (Note, although Mr. Tanenhaus is the editor in chief of the New York Times Book Review, this piece ran on the front page of the separate Sunday Review section, which treats matters and people of cultural, social and political importance, going well beyond books and authors.)

    “The Political Provocateur?”

    To that, I gladly plead guilty.

    A 5/24/2010 profile in The New Yorker titled "Rage Machine" profiles Breitbart and states that Stephen Bannon provides/provided free
    office space to Breitbart. So Breitbart is a complete ass who has a monetary interest in pushing Palin and Bannon--probably even more so than some who don't get free office rent.

    of course it was staged and of course for the reason you mentioned( he might become violent) brisdull was obviously in on it.

    2 things are happening here...
    first they didn't get the play and positive attention they hoped for and secondly but most important and as i commented earlier in an ironic post...once this comes out that it was staged people are going to ask "what type of a girl would agree to calling her mother a fuckin whore just to get attention?"

    and THATS the damage this guy is now trying to control as more and more people must be behind the scene emailing and letting those involved with this scam know how bad it makes brisdull look.

    What gives it away for me is that Bristol controlled her itchy trigger finger. She was perfectly fine a year ago to 'give the finger' on network TV to all of us who weren't jamming the phone lines to vote for her inspired strip/dancing. And now she's in a bar arguing (not vehemently, either, just talking) with a drunk guy, a big drunk guy, and she touches him several times, but never gives him the finger. Totally planned. This show will tank...and maybe, at last, no Palin will ever be hired as entertainment again.

    O/T, but I just had to share this people who will also laugh out loud when they read it. This is from Vicki at C4P:

    "Given what is happening, you have to believe one of two things. Either Governor Palin is DEFINITELY running, or she is one of the most narcissistic human beings on the planet. Seriously, who would knowingly let people spend this much of their own time and money organizing a campaign for her/him, only to glibly say 'no go'? And to what end? I just cannot see any value in stringing people along like this. The theory that she's 'selling her brand' is just absurd. There would be some really angry folks."

    This is exactly why I can't decide what will be more fun to watch at C4P: if Sarah doesn't run and the rending of garments and tearing of hair begins; or if she does run and then gets her ass kicked by real Real Americans.

    And folks, I know she's been an opportunistic, obnoxious little turd, but after having read Joe's book, I have a lot of empathy for her. She really is very young, yet, and has time for self-awareness.

    I cried when I read about Track, Bristol, and Willow, all under 10, scrounging around an empty fridge and pantry for food,while Mama Grizz enjoyed her skinny latte after a morning workout, unconcerned that her kids were hungry. Sharing a bag of Ramen for dinner. (My kid eats that as an occasional snack, not a meal!)Yeah, that last week before dad was back from the slope and able to get groceries sure was a desperate time for those neglected kids. Not like Grandma Heath would be much help: she was another neglectful mother.

    The girls didn't even have a dresser to put their clothes. It was all piled up on the ground. Geez, with Sarah getting a gov paycheck and Todd pulling a nice mgmt salary on the slope, they had enough money for a Walmart dresser, at least.

    Just sad. No wonder those kids acted out. I'm not surprised by the girls' promiscuity, either.

    I cannot figured out either why. Remember in the beginning Levi said in an interview that he knew something that would take Sarah down for good?

    Then there was the fake re-engagement on the cover of People. I think the Palins tricked him into signing something so he could get to see his son and that's still why he can't say what it is. Hell hath no fury like a Sarah/Bristol's wrath. They got Todd and Levi both by the balls.

    Did I miss it or wasn't Gryphen supposed to fill in the blanks?

    Bristol is making kajillions but yet the LSM reports that Levi is not paying child support of $1,700 a month. How can he? Much less chase Bristol around the lower 48 to get to see his son.

    I don't care for the Dr. Phil show but at least he read out loud the stipulations in the child support agreement that the parents were not to disparage the other parent especially in public. Bristol has taken every single opportunity she can find (because it makes her $$) to publicly call Levi names, belittle him etc. She is becoming a man-hater just like Mommy. The very worst thing of all is that she is CONSCIOUSLY doing it.

    Yeah Sarah/Bristol has Levi's balls in a vice and Willow has her dad's ball in a vice reportedly. Bristol got an on-line high school degree really? Appears on tabloid front cover in cap & gown with baby. 16 yr. old gay-bashing Willow is having a great time in L.A. not going to school.

    I hope Bristol's show FAILS big time. Even worse than Limbaugh, Fox & the GOP hopes Obama and America fails at ANY cost to millions of hard working citizens.

    I will NEVER forgive Sarah Palin for bringing HATRED and DISRESPECT to our country. She single-handedly made the KKK popular again.

    Too bad Joe McGinniss is taking such hard hits from the MSM. Sarah was right about one thing - they truly ARE lamestream and covering their asses for not vetting Sarah Palin. What cowards they are now! I don't care about the in-fighting over who's book got leaked and all that bullshit. It's BULLSHIT!

    The lamestream media is just that - afraid of Sarah Palin and she knows it! I'm very disappointed in Olberman & others. That is the only card she has left to play.

    Think about it. It's her last card to play and the LSM does what she says because they have egg on their face and have turned into cowards. REading McGinnis's post on his blog - now THAT made me just about cry. He is the ONLY person to visibly be out in the public and he's the one getting ALL the hits for it. Put your petty concerns aside. The Queen of Turd and Lies must be stopped - whatever it takes for all our sakes. Take action and don't stop taking action if you agree that Sarah needs to be taken down for good - just like that caribou on her reality TV show.

    OH MY God..I did not realize that she had used Octomom as her idol until I saw that picture. Do you think she took a pictured of her to the plastic surgeon...I mean orthodontist...and asked to look just like her?

    They have kindred souls...grifters through and through, so guess it's only right they look like twins.

    Really really sad!

    The juxtaposition of the two posts is stunning: the First Couple, a portrait of intelligence and class...and the Wasilla Hillbilly First Daughter...

  126. The guy who hates Sarah was probably there at the invitation of the show producers, but I'm not so sure that Bristol knew what was coming. I find the argument that since the guy was drunk, he may have been more extreme than expected, credible. In other words, Kyle might be right.

  129. lol at the trolls. Making me laugh this morning. And anon@6:30, the Cali comment made me laugh. I'm a Californian, and an Alaskan, and an Arizonan (born in CA, lived frequently in all three states). I hadn't really noticed that my tendency to use "Cali" started after the last time I lived in AZ. lol.

    The tipoff to me that it's staged is the fact that she knew exactly who to go up to, despite the fact that he was not in her sight when he first yelled out. She didn't even bother to look around first - she went like a laser beam for the guy.

    Totally staged.

    I'm sure since when drisdull was on DWTS everyone had to sign those non disiscloure forms, that Kyle and his brother and everyone that works on this show has to also. So Kyle will never tell the truth. Some christians!, can't let the truth come out ever. Who is Kyle trying to hoodwink? it has always been a reality show even before DWTS , Brisdull and Levi were shopping one, (no go) then it became a show with the Massey Bros. Ppl should just boo her until she goes back home for good.

    So let me get this straight: the reality show producers are using set-ups like this to frame Sarah as the poor victimized mother of poor little Bristol riding the bull in the most boring way possible? (Just an aside, but drunken Bristol sex must be the biggest snooze on the planet - ugh!) This show is really in trouble. Geez. It will go the way of the hairstylist show: here and gone. Blip.

    Just noticed the fist emblem on Kyle's vest/shirt. Is that the Black Power emblem? Is it something that Sarah would have a 10 minute rant about if a progressive, Obama supporters wore it?

    I do not question his right to wear it. I question him being given a pass by Mommy Dearest and just who Bristol is palling around with.

    I don't think the confrontation was staged, but what I do believe is that Bristol showed her and her families true colors by asking if he was gay. It was one of the first things out of her mouth and she was using it to make a judgement about him. Obviously if he's gay, he wouldn't find Sarah attractive and be one of her followers. To me that says gays are discussed negatively in their household. I'm surprized I didn't hear a lot of others expressing the same view point.

    The idea of Bristol having her own TV show is laughable. She has no talent, no charm and she doesn't even look like Bristol Palin any more.

    The only way that she (and the producers) can call attention to the lame show that they are trying to put together is with shameless publicity stunts.

    The other part of the show that is truly sad is what we see of Tripp, being dragged along with his mother, pacifier in his mouth and an unhappy expression on his face. Oh, the trolls will say what a great mother Bristol is. We can see how well Bristol was parented, and having no good example to follow, she is making the same mistake of exploiting her child. In fact, if it wasn't for Tripp, Bristol would be just kid, acting out and looking for attention. What a waste.

    Bristol was told that her reality show wasn't even going to make it to air. They literally had NO usable footage. Mama placed a call, and producers rallied around to try to film one "interesting" scene, which would then be used to essentially re-pitch the show to the higher-ups. But with Bristol coming off as a homophobic idiot, it's not exactly winning over the execs, since so many of them are gay.

    This show will never make it to air.

    I can always tell when Gryphen picks a topic that gets under the Palins' thin skin. The trolls come out. "Bristol handled it with grace and maturity." Saying that the guy hated Sarah Palin because he was a homosexual is neither mature nor graceful. It is the response of a girl who wanted to win to give the middle finger to America. We know what she and Willow wrote on the Facebook in response to a kid who didn't like "Sarah Palin's Alaska." They called him a fag, oh, and he's fat, too. (Bristol shouldn't be throwing that insult around).

    Wonder how Bristol feels about the fact that the only interest anyone has in her is as her mother's daughter, her boyfriend's ex, or as her child's mother. Otherwise, she's just a pudgy 20-year-old with little visible personalty, no education, no real job or job skills, nothing but parasitic or dysfunctional family relationships. Oh, and that chin. That's all there is to Bristol, poor dull girl. She might just be the least interesting young woman on the planet. The lights are on but nobody's home. Which might be a little bit pathetic if she wasn't such a lazy, vengeful, nasty piece of work. Hollywood doesn't keep losers liker her around very long. She's got nothing special, just the reality trash-of-the-week spot, famously short-lived.

    Bristol really is her mother's daughter: when handed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, she gets busy with all the perks and entitlements but puts forth the least possible effort to actually do anything other than present herself as she-who-will-be-adored. Neither one has any concept, or ever even bothered to try to understand, about how competitive and cut throat the celebrity business is for those without real talent, work ethic, or incredible youthful beauty. They will both by lucky to make Kathy Griffin's D-list by this time next year.

    Oz Mudflats has a really funny take on this whole episode.

    He addresses it from a different angle, saying that no bartender would allow this to happen.

    Worth reading.

    Exactly!!

    She somehow know who to talk to when she is spinning around & riding a bull in a dark bar in a room full of people? Also, the lights were on her, so the crowd would have just been a huge black void.

    She's got a totally Octomom look going on.

    YIKES!!

    If she would just lose the fake hair & fake hair color, that would help.

    I don't know what would help the rest of her, though.

  144. @11:17 "I will NEVER forgive Sarah Palin for bringing HATRED and DISRESPECT to our country. She single-handedly made the KKK popular again."

    I sure do agree with you there. It's the absolute worst thing that came out of Sarah's appearance on the national stage.

    -----

    See, the thing is Bri$tol DID NOT ask the heckler if he was gay. She asked him if he was a "homosexual".

    Do you seriously believe that Bri$tol, in a state of anger and confrontation, would use the term "homosexual"?

    Don't you think that more derogatory terms would have automatically come from Bri$tol's mouth if this scenario had been happenstance?

    That's why I think it was STAGED. Bri$tol used terminology that is not a natural part of her vocabulary.
