EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: Sarah Palin’s Father Says He Didn’t Attack Levi
April 16, 2009
The drama around Sarah Palin’s family seems to know no boundaries.
The Alaska governor’s father Chuck Heath was quoted by a weekly magazine attacking Levi Johnston, 19, the father of 18-year-old Bristol Palin’s baby. But now Heath, in an exclusive interview with RadarOnline.com, says he never made those comments and has only complimentary things to say about Levi.
“I have a good relationship [with Levi],” Heath said Thursday afternoon. “Levi was a good guy, we got along really well, we have our dogs and hunting in common. I encouraged him to go back to school and get his GED.”
Heath was quoted in an earlier published report lambasting Johnston’s recent TV appearances saying: “I don’t agree with what he’s doing right now. It’s not right. He’s broke, so he’s trying to capitalize on this. I wish he’d take some of this money he’s making and buy some diapers with it.” Johnston has publicly complained that the Palins are limiting his access to his baby Tripp with the governor’s daughter.
