Bristol Palin's Future Mother-In-Law Arrested
Filed under: Celeb Kids
Sarah Palin's ex-Vice Presidential campaign is edging ever-closer to a Jerry Springer episode -- her daughter Bristol's future mother-in-law has been picked up for drugs.The Internets were abuzz during Palin's campaign with talk of the governor's then 17-year-old daughter's surprise pregnancy, but seemed generally supportive of Bristol and her 18-year-old beau, Levi. She bravely chose to have the baby, while he quit high school to get a job and support the fam -- and thus potential political disaster was reimagined as courageous young people taking a stab at the American Dream.
But it seems Levi's mom isn't the upstanding citizen her son appears to be. Sherry Johnston has been arrested on drug charges -- but not "sorry officer I smoke a doobie from time to time" drug charges. According to reports, grandma-to-be is on the hook for six felony counts, including "second-degree misconduct involving a controlled substance," which is what they hit you with for manufacturing and distributing narcotics. Ouch.
The baby is due on Saturday, so it seems Sherry will be able to hold her grandson before she's tossed in the slammer (assuming she's not strung out). No word from the Palin's on how this affects their opinion of the future in-laws, but it can't be good.

Bristol Palin's Reality Show Bombs
Practically no one watched Bristol Palin show when it premiered on Lifetime and the numbers are in. Only a measly 726,000 people tuned in. And it wasn't coincidence, viewers actually turned it off. The show that came on right before Bristols was Dance Moms and it had over 1.1 million. One thing that might have hurt Bristols numbers, is the fact that another show about unwed teen mothers was on at the exact same time on MTV.

Ann said...Bristol is brave and Levi is upstanding? No, no, no. Bristol was a druggie and a party animal, got pregnant, and is now a high school drop out. The brave thing to do would have been to defy her mother's ridiculous ideas, get an abortion and finish school.
Levi is a self defined fucking redneck (his words in case self defined isn't clear enough). Another druggie, party goer who dropped out of school. Exactly what is "upstanding" about this boy? Quitting school? Oh, please.
I am sick of people defending them as pure as the driven snow, brave, etc. They're irresponsible and they should be in school, not breeding. "All families have issues" Maybe so but they don't make us think they are holier than thou because of it. Sheesh.

Nikki said...Thank you - you said pretty much everything I wanted to say, only clearer.
And if the Palins' and Levi's family really cared, they would have him finish high school and offer financial support until both of them graduated from high school.
God knows the Palins' can afford it. Maybe education really isn't important to Sarah Palin though. Maybe she really doesn't care about her grandson's father being a high-school drop out.
Personally, I don't look down on people w/out high school diplomas, but please, if you want to move forward in this life (financially), it kind of is necessary.
