Since last week’s release of her memoir “Not Afraid of Life,” Bristol Palin has generated a decent amount of buzz. The 20-year-old, who reveals in her book that she first had sex while drunk, clarified on Monday that she was not in fact date raped by baby daddy Levi Johnston.
In an interview with “Good Morning America,” Palin explained that “it felt like” her virginity was stolen from her. But Palin insists this doesn’t mean Johnston forced himself upon her.
“I’m not accusing Levi of date rape or rape at all,” Bristol said of her ex-fiancé. “But I am just looking back with the adult eyes I have now and just thinking that was a foolish decision. I should have never been underage drinking and I should have never gotten myself into a situation like that.”
Palin’s book provides details on her first experience with sexual intercourse, which took place during a camping trip. The “Dancing with the Stars” finalist claims to have woken up alone in a tent the following morning. Considering Palin’s description of “gnat” Johnston, this comes as no surprise. The Candies Foundation spokeswoman claims that Johnston was quite a playboy while they were together and that he “cheated on [her] about as frequently as he sharpened his hockey skates.”
The single mother of a toddler, Palin says she hopes her memoir will encourage females to steer clear of and ditch slimy romantic partners.
“I hope that other women with kind of jerk boyfriends reading the book go ‘you know what? I don’t have to be with this guy,'” Palin said. (Bristol Palin slams McCain family in new memoir)
Palin says Johnston, whose own tell-all memoir is slated for a September release, claimed to have possibly impregnated another woman and told her about it on the same day Us Weekly published a cover story about their 2010 engagement.
“The magazine was released on a Wednesday, and that Wednesday when it went nationwide, Levi comes home, comes to my condo and tells me that a girl might have his baby,” Palin said. “That was definitely like a punch to the stomach … It’s like, okay, I just betrayed my family for you,” Palin explained, adding that her own family didn’t know about the engagement until the celebrity gossip publication story hit newsstands.
