Levi Johnston Apologizes To Palins

Levi Johnston has acknowledged telling lies about Sarah Palin and her family after splitting with the former Alaska governor’s daughter last year.

The 20-year-old tells People magazine Tuesday that he “publicly said things that were not completely true,” and “I owe it to the Palins to publicly apologize” for his “youthful indiscretion.”

It’s unclear which statements he was referring to, and Johnston could not immediately be reached for comment.

Johnston tells People he was “unhappy and a little angry” after breaking up with his former fiance, 19-year-old Bristol Palin, after their son’s birth in December 2008. He says that he said false things against his better judgment.

“Part of co-parenting is creating healthy and honest relationships between the parents,” he said. “Tripp one day needs to know the truth and needs to know that even if a mistake is made the honorable thing to do is to own up to it.”

Johnston says he has also privately apologized to Sarah Palin, the 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee, and her husband, Todd.
