"LIfe's a Tripp" or "How to help build a case for the noncustodial parent to revisit a child custody agreement." Update!

"OMG Tripp! My attempt to make your dad look like a loser backfired, and now everybody thinks I am a hateful bitch!"

Okay well like many of you I am recovering from my reality show hang over. (Not to mention an actual hangover, that resulted from my need to self medicate throughout the program.) 

This morning I have had time to reevaluate what we saw last night, and all I have to say is "When did Bristol start working for Levi's legal team?"

I cannot imagine how ANYBODY could have consciously provided SO much useful data, right there in an easy to access video format, to be used on a reopened custody case. It quite literally boggled my mind.

Not only might Bristol actually be mildly retarded, but apparently so is her entire family, AS WELL AS the producers of her show. I know I should not be surprised, but I have to admit I kind of am a little.

Last night was such an incredibly distasteful example of character assassination, and libelous statements, that I cannot help but believe it made Levi's attorney's legal briefs just a little tighter.

Now I hate reality shows as a rule, but even by the low standards set by that genre last night's two in one episode was a putrid turd of a show. The dialogue was so clearly scripted, and poorly written, that it brought to mind dialogue from a bad 1970's porno. However unlike the porn, where the talking is just to provide a flimsy plot linking sweaty episodes of hippies humping, the screwing in Bristol's unreality show was contained in the actual dialogue itself.

Last night just about every scripted word was designed to trash Levi and make Bristol out to be an abandoned single mother. And of course all of it was bullshit.

Let's focus for a moment on the "Bouncing Bears" meeting supposedly arranged between Levi and Bristol, because I actually know a little about that.

In reality Levi did not even know about the meeting until right before it was supposed to take place. He received a call from Tank Jones, saying that Bristol had offered him money to show up at Bouncy Bears, and be part of her new reality show.

Levi had no idea what it was about, but knew enough to realize that it was a setup, and did not go. (Tank by the way was aggressively encouraging Levi to participate, despite not having a written contract in hand protecting his client, for any of you who still believe that he EVER had Levi's best interests at heart.)

So all of that teasing Tripp about seeing his father was all just a cruel joke played on a little boy, and done simply to push forward the Palin family narrative.

As for the portions where you see Bristol trying to call Levi? That whole "mailbox is full" trick is the same crap that Tank used to pull on me, and anybody else trying to get a hold of him. Not surprisingly the phone that Bristol was calling is the one that Tank got for Levi, preset to reject voice messages.

However Bristol knew full well that the way to get a hold of Levi was through texts, as she demonstrated later by texting him. However the question is WHEN did she text him, and more importantly DID she really did text him? (Since my understanding is that Levi knew NOTHING about this meeting it appears to me that she faked the entire thing.)

Like I said the show has done Levi a great service in providing him with ample evidence to take Bristol, and of course her puppeteer mother, back to court.

However that may not even be the WORST of the legal problems coming the Palin's way.

Late last night I received a link to the Massey brother's legal complaint, which you can find here.

I am not a lawyer but from what I can glean the Masseys have a very strong case.  Here is just a sample:

Beginning July 2011, ATI began to produce the Helping Hands reality series involving BRISTOL, TRIPP, CHRISTOPHER, and KYLE, their family and friends. 

For example, ATI began to film BRISTOL, CHRISTOPHER, and KYLE living in a house, together with BRISTOL and her son, TRIPP. Helping Hands featured scenes of KYLE and CHRISTOPHER going to parenting classes to assist BRISTOL with babysitting her son, TRIPP. 

There were scenes featuring KYLE and CHRISTOPHER taking TRIPP to a photo shoot. 

Defendants arranged for KYLE, BRISTOL, TRIPP, and CHRISTOPHER to travel to Alaska and spend time interacting with the Palin family at their home. BRISTOL, ANGEL, CHRIS, and KYLE agreed to include the Palin family, as participants in the Series at the time the idea was originally pitched to BRISTOL. 

Defendants shot scenes of the Palin family throwing a party for BRISTOL, celebrating her move to Los Angeles,wishing her well, and appreciating KYLE and CHRIS for befriending and supporting their daughter. Defendants shot scenes of BRISTOL and her family camping together all night. Defendants shot scenes of BRISTOL, KYLE, and CHRSTOPHER riding ATV motorcycles, river rafting in Alaska, and visiting BRISTOL' s grandparents in Alaska. 

In one scene, BRISTOL talks about how sad she is that TRIPP does not have a dad, and she cries about not having any help with child care.

So in other words all of those scenes showing Bristol crying to Willow about Levi, were actually scenes that were filmed for the original reality show of Bristol crying to the Massey brothers about  Levi. And those were broadcast (WITHOUT their authorization) last night. So there is no way that the Palins can simply reedit the footage and take that part out, especially since it really seems as if THAT is an important reason for WHY the Palins worked so hard to patchwork this thing together and get it out onto unsuspecting television sets everywhere.

Like I said the Massey's have a strong case, and in my opinion, so does Levi. In fact after all of this time, the decision to put this steaming pile of mooseshit on the air waves may finally be the thing that destroys the Palin's reputation for all time, and keeps them forever exiled from the public consciousness.

Here's hoping.

Update: For those who have not seen the show and want to know what all the fuss is about, you can see the full episodes here.

Update 2: This from Sunny's Facebook page:

3 important Things that were cut out of "Life's a Tripp" last nights episode... 

1) Levi got a call from his manager that day saying "when Bristol calls don't answer your phone. She just wants to argue and fight on camera for her reality show." 

2) Levi was trying to get Tripp all that week and Bristol only said yes the day that she needed Levi for the cameras (bouncing bears) and Levi refuses to help her show out even though there was lots of money offered. A week later she changed her number without telling Levi. 

3) The 15 missed calls I had from Willow earlier that day because I was at WORK! I called her back when i got off of work. 

And nasty texts from Bristol and Willow all day that day. 

I was obviously set up. That is not how our conversation went. She was talking over me the entire time. 

 -Taking care of some business today.

Ah, a little truth shines through the Palin cloud of BS.

Here is more from Sunny on Rumor Fix.

Some details don't quite line up with what I had been told earlier, but I will defer to her version since she was closer to the incident than I was.

Update 3: It looks like Bristol's show lost even MORE viewers last night. This from TV By the Numbers:

 Lifetime's 'Bristol Palin's Life's a Tripp' 10pm: 586,000 viewers, 0.2 adults 18-49 rating; 10:30p 426,000 viewers, 0.2 adults 18-49 rating.

Ooh, that is substantially down from even last week's dismal numbers of  726,000 total viewers.

Gee  I guess trying to create drama by insulting the father of your child on national TV is NOT good for ratings. Who knew? Besides everybody I mean.

Just when you think the Palins CANNOT sink any lower, they simply can't wait to prove you wrong.
