Bristol Palin: Teens Moms Should Be Punished For Getting Pregnant!
For a woman who stars on a show called Teen Mom OG, Bristol Palin certainly isn"t very sympathetic to the plight of unwed young mothers.
Or at least that"s the impression we get from her latest comments on the subject.
As The Ashley"s Reality Roundup points out, Bristol went on an Instagram rant this week, and she made what many feel are deeply insensitive comments about teen pregnancy.
Some fans are even citing the remarks as proof that Bristol never should have been cast on the show in the first place.
Take a look:
1. Bristol Under Fire
Many Teen Mom OG fans were not thrilled when Bristol Palin was cast on the show, and they’re citing her latest comments as further evidence that she just doesn’t belong.
2. Blast From the Past
Unlike Cheyenne Floyd, who also joined the cast this season, Bristol was an honest-to-goodness teen mom at one point.
3. The Palins
She welcomed her first child in 2008 … the same year that her mother gained national fame as John McCain’s running mate.
4. Different Strokes
Needless to say, Bristol’s upbringing was quite different from those of the other Teen Moms, most of whom grew up in relative poverty.
5. Check Your Privilege
But despite the fact that her mother was once one of the most famous women in the country, Bristol says she didn’t grow up with a silver spoon in her mouth.
6. Cut off
“People have this assumption that I haven’t struggled with finances but my parents cut me off lonnng long ago, like when I got knocked up 10+ years ago (which good parents should do),”

Sarah Palin on Synagogue Shooting, More Religion is the Solution
Sarah Palin has an answer for stopping mass shootings in America … and it has nothing to do with restricting gun sales or getting more weapons in the hands of law enforcement. We got Sarah Monday at LAX and asked about the…

Sunny Johnston: Levi"s Wife BLASTS Bristol Palin Over Teen Mom OG Comments!
At this point, we think it’s safe to say that the addition of Bristol Palin to the cast of Teen Mom OG hasn’t panned out quite way producers expected.
Bristol was supposed to be a massive ratings magnet, a fact that’s evidenced by the fact that despite being a newcomer, she already gets paid more than any of the other moms.
But thus far, audiences have proven mostly indifferent to Palin.
There are many theories as to why this might be:
Perhaps too much of the show’s target demographic is too young to recall Bristol’s rise to fame during the 2012 presidential election.
Or perhaps they simply don’t care.
Maybe those who said there was no need to tinker with the cast or replace the fired Farrah Abraham were right all along.
Or maybe the show has simply run its course and it’s time to call it quits.
Whatever the case, producers are still hoping that the choice to add Bristol to the cast will eventually pan out — and they’re doing everything they can to make that happen.
On this week’s episode, viewers were re-introduced to Palin’s first infamous baby daddy, Levi Johnston, and drama ensued immediately.
If you’ve been watching the show, you know that Bristol has talked a mountain of trash about Levi in her first few episodes.
Bristol has described her relationship with Levi as “rocky” and accused her ex of not being a “solid” father figure in the life of their 9-year-old son, Tripp.
She even claimed that Levi never watched Tripp overnight until the boy was 4 years old.
Now, Levi’s current wife, Sunny Johnston, is coming to her husband’s defense in a major way.
Johnston says that while Bristol is technically correct in her claim that Tripp never spent the night in his first years, she claims Palin is leaving out one important detail:
The boy never spent the night with Johnston because Palin allegedly wouldn’t let him.
“I asked Levi, he said that right after Tripp was born for a while. And then he wasn’t allowed to have him overnight,” Sunny wrote on Instagram following this week’s episode.
“Then when they were engaged when Tripp was one-and-a-half [he] had a few weeks of overnights,” she added.
“As long as I’ve been in the picture: Levi was never allowed to have Tripp overnight until the court ordered it when he was around three despite trying to be there for all the years prior.”
One fan asked Johnston if she gets along with Bristol, and Levi’s bride was refreshingly candid in her response:
“Okay I’ve gotten this a lot so I’m going to answer,” Sunny wrote.
“Honestly, I never know what to expect so that’s hard to answer. I just pray for Levi and her to always keep striving to have a better co-parenting relationship for Tripp.
“It’s never her and I unless I’m alone with Tripp,” Johnston added.
“Always Levi and her, and every once in a while through a group text about Tripp.”
So it sounds like we may be in for serious conflict between Bristol and Sunny.
At this point, that’s about the only thing that could save Bristol’s career as a reality star.

Bristol Palin vs. Dakota Meyer: The Feud Explodes!
Remember a week ago when Dakota Meyer said things between himself and Bristol Palin were “the best [they’ve] ever been.”
Well… a lot can change in a week.
On this past Monday’s episode of Teen Mom OG, viewers watched Bristol and Dakota basically end their marriage, as both sides apologized for their mistakes and both acknowledged Meyer’s PTSD had become too much for the relationship to handle.
It seemed as though the divorce was mutual and, hey, at the time, maybe everything was amicable.
In a new MTV-sponsored video, however, Palin advised viewers not to rush into relationships and pregnancies, telling her audience the following:
“I got engaged and pregnant within a month. Planned a wedding. And I was like, ‘I can’t get married.’ Called off the wedding. Went through the whole pregnancy by myself.
“Friggin sucked.”
That scenario does sound like it would friggin suck.
And Palin made it sound even worse when she said she felt guilty that her second child essentially had no father and, as a result…
“I got back together with him. Got married right away. Had another baby right away. And then we got divorced just recently.”
Meyer, however, has taken EXTREME exception to this portrayal of both himself and the situation between him and Palin.
He grants Bristol the basic facts of her pregnancies, but points most of the blame in her direction when it comes to the decisions she made and the way she handled it all.
“Yes, we got pregnant right after our engagement,” he captioned a photo of himself and his daughter Sailor, 2.
“We planned a wedding with our families and friends and Bristol decided to leave me a week prior. I spoke with her family every month and made it clear I would be the father of my child.
“I reached out to her before Sailor was born and asked what the plan was to co-parent. She told me to go through the courts to establish paternity.”
Moreover, Meyer argues, if Bristol felt so guilty… if she actually wanted him in the picture… why wasn’t he invited to the birth of his child?
“I found out my child was born on Twitter,” he wrote this week in response to Bristol’s video, adding:
“Can you imagine being a dad and not being allowed to be at your child’s birth? She denied my paternity until it could be proven, at which point Sailor was born.
“For Bristol to state that Sailor didn’t have a dad is laughable.
“What really happened is Bristol kept our daughter from having a father present at birth and until the courts ruled that I was her father.”
Meyer concluded his angry post like this;
“I can promise you this, Sailor and Atlee always had a dad, and always will have a dad.”
Pretty straightforward and to the point from Meyer.
And we can understand why he’s so upset here.
Palin is doing what all Teen Mom cast members almost have to do: stir up drama.
She and Dakota can’t just have a friendly divorce and pleasant co-parenting arrangement and nothing more because why would viewers tune in each week?
But Meyer is a veteran.
He suffers from anxiety and depression and constant nightmares because everyone in his platoon except for himself was killed years ago in a battle in Afghanistan.
This is anything but your run-of-the-mill Teen Mom or reality show fodder.
After all he’s been through, Meyer isn’t about to sit back and let his life story be turned into a ratings or publicity-grab by his ex-wife.
And, really, can you blame him?!?

Bristol Palin: It Was SO Awkward to Meet the Teen Moms!
Bristol Palin was a literal teen mom about 10 years ago.
But the daughter of ex-Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin is now a Teen Mom is the more figurative and professional sense, making a living as one of two new cast members on Teen Mom OG.
It’s pretty darn weird when you think about it.
Or not just when you think about it.
When you actually experience it and work alongside Palin, according to Tyler Baltierra.
For Bristol, meanwhile, it was pretty darn weird to walk right onto a show that had been airing for seven seasons already — and on which everyone was pretty close and familiar.
“I was like, this is their job, they’ve been doing this for so long,” Palin said on Monday’s Teen Mom OG premiere aftershow.. “I hope they like me.”
She may have also had this fear because, let’s face it, plenty of people out there do not like Bristol or her famous mother.
Bristol and Chyenne Floyd were both added to Teen Mom OG in the wake of Farrah Abraham being let go by MTV.
After plenty of back and forth with the controversial star, executives decided in February that it could no longer be associated with someone who did amateur pornography, basically.
“We didn’t want to step on toes, I think,” Floyd said of how she and Palin felt upon meeting the other OGs and starting to film by their side.
Catelynn Lowell, who also appeared on the after-show, thought back to the first time she met the new cast members, saying on air:
“We were doing a promo shoot. I think the production and everything made it was more awkward.”
Bristol agreed, chiming in as follows:
“So awkward!”
And Floyd also agreed!
“We hugged, and it was probably the most awkward hug ever. It was so awkward,” she said of meeting Palin.
Also awkward for Floyd? Some of the backlash she has received for not actually being a teen mom.
Not now. Not ever.
(Floyd shares one-year-old daughter Ryder with Cory Wharton; they welcomed their daughter whe Chyenne was 23 years old.)
But this is what Chyenne said on the topic last month:
“I think that a lot of people are stuck on the word and at the end of the day I’m still young mom. I still have the same struggles and I’m still learning just like everyone else.
I don’t think 23 is the ideal age to have a baby. She was unplanned, so in other ways, other than me not being a teen, I have different things that you can relate.
“So instead of me screaming all day long that I’m not a teen mom, I’d rather just talk about things that I am.”
For a look at how the veteran OGs feel about these newbies, click below:

Bristol Palin: Teen Mom is ALREADY Destroying My Family!
Teen Mom OG has added Bristol Palin, and Bristol’s family dysfunctions are obvious.
But apparently what viewers are seeing on camera is only the tip of the Alaskan iceberg.
A new report says that Bristol’s family is clashing — and Bristol’s new TV role is at the center of their feud.
RadarOnline‘s inside source has revealed that Bristol Palin’s family is being torn apart by her new role on Teen Mom OG.
Some within her divided family think that it’s a “great opportunity.”
After all, this way, Bristol gets exposure and a hefty source of income — we know how sweet that Teen Mom money can be.
Not everyone is onboard with Bristol’s newly revived reality TV career, however.
And apparently the biggest critic of her casting is her new brother-in-law, Ricky Bailey.
Ricky married Bristol’s sister, Willow, just days ago in what was reportedly a sweet ceremony in Alaska.
Apparently her issue was over her brother, Track, being invited.
Track has a history of arrests for domestic violence.
Not-so-fun fact: he ended up missing Willow’s wedding himself because he was arrested for domestic violence yet again.
But Bristol skipping the wedding is only one factor in her current family troubles.
“Ricky is so against having cameras around,” the insider reveals.
MTV’s cameras followed Bristol for Willow’s bachelorette weekend in Arizona, and it wasn’t exactly Willow’s dream come true.
“Willow didn’t approve of the cameras filming for her bachelorette weekend,” the source says.
“But,” the insider continues, she “ended up giving in to Bristol.”
“It was more of a favor,” the source characterizes.
That favor ended up costing Willow.
“All of the conversations during Willow’s bachelorette weekend ended up being all about Bristol,” the insider reports.
That is very natural when cameras are present.
It also just … sucks for Willow.
“It was so sad for Willow,” the source laments.
But there’s more to the Palin family’s concerns than intrusive cameras.
Apparently Track isn’t the only family member who loses it sometimes.
“Bristol’s siblings believe she is totally crazy and really volatile,” the insider says.
“Her family knows Bristol is trying to keep it together for the Teen Mom cameras,” the source acknowledges.
However, they allegedly fear that it is “only a matter of time” before Bristol totally loses her composure while the cameras are rolling.
In the mean time, Bristol has been posting about a fresh start now that it is finally October.
Bristol took to Instagram to write that it is a “new month.”
She said that this means that she has a “new slate.”
(She probably means fresh slate or clean slate, but let’s not get nitpicky)
Bristol may not see eye to eye with her family on everything. That’s normal.
But we’ve all seen relationships and families fall apart at the seams while they appear on reality television. Will the Palins be next?

Bristol Palin to Farrah Abraham: Why Are You So Obsessed with Me?
Farrah Abraham has been replaced on Teen Mom OG, and to absolutely no one’s surprise, she is not taking it well.
Bristol Palin has shot down the claim that she secretly wants to be just like Farrah.
Now, she’s doubling down on that, and dragging Farrah as a mother, a role model, and a human being.
Appearing on Teen Mom: After The Show, Bristol Palin is affirming that she has no special love for Afarrah Abraham.
“No,” she says. “There’s nothing about me that wants to be anything like her.”
“And,” Bristol continues. “I would never want my girls to look up to someone like that.”
“So girlfriend,” she says in an exaggerated manner before snapping in a Z-formation, giving us flashbacks to well over a decade ago.
Bristol can’t keep up the overly dramatic act, and says: “I’m just joking!”
She’s clearly not joking about her feelings regardling Farrah, however, because she recently told Jenny McCarthy something similar.
“It’s just like, ‘Oh, she’s trying to be me,"” Bristol said.
Farrah has accused both Bristol and Cheyenne of trying and failing to be her.
“It’s like, girlfriend,” Bristol said. “You could not pay me to want to be anything like you. Honestly.”
“So no,” Bristol said. “I’m not trying to be like her.”
Farrah trashed her Teen Mom replacements, saying that either they themselves are stupid or the decision to cast them was — or both.
“There’s no intelligence there,” Farrah said, presumably while looking into a mirror.
“And,” Farrah continued. “I actually feel like the Teen Mom fans deserve to have better people fill my position.”
She wasn’t working as a store clerk — she was part of a reality show, so that’s awkward phrasing.
Also, fill my position sounds like a euphemism when Farrah says it.
“And,” Farrah said. “They deserve to have better quality.”
She also believes that not only are Bristol and Cheyenne inadequate, but they’re not even being paid as well as she was.
“Last I heard,” Farrah claims. “They said they couldn’t [have] been paid enough to be like me.”
“But yet, they are paid,” Farrah says. “They’re filling my spot.”
Farrah may bitterly hate Teen Mom, but it sounds like the show is an ex that she just can’t stand to see move on to someone else.
Bristol isn’t exactly anyone’s favorite person. She’s been accused of being a racist and a homophobe.
It doesn’t help that her mother is the absolutely infamous Sarah Palin.
Trying to out-awful Bristol is a tall order, but Farrah always seems to come across looking like an absolute maniac when the two of them feud.
On her own, Bristol may hold some truly terrible political views and bear the curse of her last name.
But when you put her beside Farrah, she looks calm and reasonable by comparison.
Farrah might not mean to, but she’s doing Bristol, Teen Mom OG, and MTV a huge favor by going on these rants.

Bristol Palin Ditches Sister"s Wedding, Humiliates Famous Family
It remains very hard to believe, but it’s true:
Bristol Palin is now part of the Teen Mom OG family.
And the timing seemingly could not be better for the controversial mother of three, considering she may now be persona non grata within her own family!
According to Radar Online, Bristol’s younger sister, Willow, got married this past Saturday to someone named Ricky Bailey in Alaska.
Mother Sarah Palin wrote on Instagram that the ceremony and reception “couldn’t be more perfect!!!” because the bride and groom were surrounded by “so much love ~ and surrounded by the mutual love & support of cherished friends & family… just PERFECT.”
But was it? Was it really?
Maybe not.
An insider tells Radar that Bristol actually no-showed the big day after getting into a massive fight with Willow.
What would have caused one sister to miss the wedding of another sister?
In this case, the dangerous past of a different sibling.
“Bristol started a huge fight with Willow because her kids aren’t supposed to be around Track,” *a source close to the Palins told Radar, referencing Bristol and Willow’s 29-year old brother.
He was arrested last month for domestic violence, making the third time in as many years he’d been booked on this same awful charge.
(*Yes, these are the real names of actual people.)
The source explained that Bristol’s ex-husband, Dakota Meyer, prohibited their kids from speaking with Track many months ago.
He ended up missing out on the wedidng himself due to his arrest the evening prior, but the mere invitation was enough to set Bristol off.
“Bristol was supposed to give a speech at the wedding,” the insider said. “Instead she packed up her kids and left, leaving Willow behind.”
YIKES!
Talk about awkward, huh?
On Sunday, Bristol shared videos of her kids running around a soccer field and titled the footage “My world.”
Then, earlier today, she shared a picture of herself and Meyer in the car (both looking mighty perturbed) and teased this evening’s Teen Mom OG Season 8 premiere in the caption.
“My story begins tonight. don’t miss the 90-minute premiere… and my FIRST EPISODE of #TeenMomOG starting at 9/8c on @MTV,” she wrote, acting as if the wedding snub never happened.”
Bristol was announced as a Teen Mom OG cast addition several weeks ago — but fans of the franchise remain in shock.
The daughter of the former Vice Presidential candidate is really now on Teen Mom OG?!?
Tyler Baltierra recently acknowledged that this situation is more than just a little unusual.
Do I think it’s weird as hell? Absolutely. Do I think it’s a really, like, not a good decision for the franchise? Yeah. But that’s out of my control,” Tyler said on a podcast.
For the most part, however, Palin’s upcoming co-stars have taken some issue with how MTV never informed them of the decision to hire Bristol until the network also informed the public.
But they have also said Bristol herself seems totally cool.
Check out a few of their initial reactions below:

Tyler Baltierra: It"s Weird AF to Star Alongside Bristol Palin!
Tyler Baltierra two huge reasons to be very happy and extremely excited these days.
FIRST, the long-time reality star has lost 43 pounds of late and he looks amazing.
SECOND, he’s having another baby!!!!!!!
Tyler and wife Catelynn announced this month that their third child is due in March, an especially blessed development considering they lost one to a miscarriage back in January 2018.
But Baltierra said this week on the podcast “Reality Life with Kate Casey” that he unfortunately has one reason NOT to be so happy and excited at the moment.
And that reason has everything to do with one of his new Teen Mom OG co-stars.
For the first time since the news of her casting broke, Tyler has spoken out on the addition of Bristol Palin to the franchise.
“Do I think it’s weird as hell? Absolutely. Do I think it’s a really, like, not a good decision for the franchise? Yeah. But that’s out of my control,”. he said on the recording
We definitely understand the first part of that statement.
Bristol Palin was the daughter of the nominee for Vice President of the United States in 2008.
She was on stage at the Republican National Committee. She made MAJOR national/political headlines for months because she was a pregnant teenager at the time of this election…
… and now she’s gonna be on Teen Mom OG Season 8!
That is absolutely weird as hell.
But is it bad for the franchise?
Time, and ratings really, will tell.
The stunning casting decision has certainly resulted in an abundance of coverage for the series, as Bristol and Cheyenne Floyd will both come on board the program this fall.
They are jointly taking over for Farrah Abraham, whose affiliation with amateur pornography led to her departure from MTV in February.
To be clear, meanwhile, Tyler says he has no beef with Bristol on a personal level.
Heck, he had never met her before filming began and scarcely knew anything about her.
“I don’t know anything about anybody,” he said on the podcast. “It’s weird. When it comes to that kind of stuff, I’m a f-cking recluse.”
He was also just 16 years old back when Palin was in the national spotlight.
Pver the past two months, though, he’s heard about some of Palin’s controversies, such as her stance against gay marriage and her hot Republican takes in general.
“I got headlines sent to me, ‘Oh my gosh, she’s racist, she’s homophobic,’” he says. “I’m like, ‘What? I don’t know!’”
He’ll soon find out, however!
So will MTV viewers across the globe.
The new season of Teen Mom OG kicks off this Monday, October 1.
Still, Baltierra says he’s reserving judgment until he gets to know the Alaska native better:
“I’m like, I can’t read the tabloids. I gotta just get to know the person on my own. I don’t want to get any preconceived judgments or notions about these people.”
Moreover, he doesn’t blame Bristol for coming on board.
This is how Tyler concludes his opinion on the unexpected situation:
Do I have any hard feelings against the girls, the people participating in it now? Absolutely not.
Because I think with the franchise – like, what it turned into – if the opportunity knocks on anyone’s door, I think everyone would be lying if they said they wouldn’t take the opportunity.
Honestly, things evolve, they gotta grow and they gotta adapt to change as we get on with this whole thing that we’ve been doing for 10 years now.

Bristol Palin: DONE With Teen Mom OG? Demanding Her Own Show?!
It"s only been two months since Bristol Palin joined the cast of Teen Mom: OG, but it seems the daughter of former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin is already looking to move on from the show.
We suppose it shouldn"t come as a huge shock that Bristol doesn"t feel much in the way of loyalty toward her employers, given that her mother just up and quit being in charge of a whole ginormous state in the middle of a term.
It seems the apple really didn"t fall far from the tree in this case, and like her famous mom, Bristol believes she"s destined for TV mega-stardom.
Of course, it"s anyone"s guess as to why she thinks that, as thus far audiences have been as indifferent toward Bristol as they are toward Sarah.
The Palins seem to have a distorted view of just how fascinating the rest of the world finds them, and in Bristol"s case, that egomania is resulting in some intense conflicts with her Teen Mom bosses and co-stars …
1. Back In Action
After spending some time away from the spotlight, Bristol is returning to public life in a huge way — with a starring role on one of TV’s most popular reality shows.
2. Big Shoes to Fill
When the time came to replace Farrah Abraham, TMOG producers reportedly felt pressured to do something big.
3. Times Have Changed
The original girls (the OGs, if you will) were unknowns when the show started, but now they’re full-blown stars with millions of social media followers. Unless the new additions to the case existed on a similar plane of popularity, they would likely be viewed as disappointments.
4. All-Star Casting
So it was that Morgan J. Freeman and company focused on two established talents — The Challenge star Cheyenne Floyd, and Bristol Palin, who was once the most famous teen mom in the country.
5. Big Bucks Bristol
Production insiders say Bristol is already being paid more than any of her co-stars, and it looks as thought the investment is not paying off for producers.
6. A Little Late
What the top brass at MTV failed to consider is that Bristol’s fame peaked ten years ago, a time when much of the current TMOG audience was in elementary school, and thus, generally indifferent toward matters of national politics.
