Levi Johnston apologizes to the Palins

Washington, July 7 (ANI): Playgirl centerfold Levi Johnston has publicly apologized to Sarah Palin for saying untrue things about her family.

The 20-year-old hockey hunk said various things about the Palins in public after splitting from Sarah's daughter Bristol.

"Last year, after Bristol and I broke up, I was unhappy and a little angry. Unfortunately, against my better judgment, I publicly said things about the Palins that were not completely true," Radaronline.com quoted Johnston as telling People.

"I have already privately apologized to Todd and Sarah. Since my statements were public, I owe it to the Palins to publicly apologize.

" Nothing is more important to me or Bristol than our son Tripp. We are taking active steps to work cooperatively in raising him, and in sharing the joys-and challenges-of parenthood," he added.

Bristol said: "Levi and me are co-parents of Tripp and we are actively working on being good parents together."

The rest of Levi's public apology states, "So to the Palin family in general and to Sarah Palin in particular, please accept my regrets and forgive my youthful indiscretion...I hope one day to restore your trust." (ANI)
