Levi Johnston Rebounds at Teen Choice Awards 2010
The public feud between Bristol Palin and former fiance Levi Johnston could be set to escalate following his appearance on the Teen Choice Awards red carpet in California overnight.
The alleged Alaskan love rat was pictured on the arm of little-known US singer Brittani Senser, who cast him for the video clip to her upcoming single After Love – about a couple driven apart by the girl’s disapproving mother.
The video has been blamed for his most recent split from Palin, who told People magazine last week she had been “played” by the 20-year-old.
Palin said Johnston had told her he was travelling to Hollywood to see a hunting show, but had instead gone to make the video with Senser. Palin, 19, said the clip made fun of her family and his decision to take part was “the last straw”.
“He’s just obsessed with the limelight, and I got played,” Palin told the magazine.
Palin is the daughter of former Republican vice presidential candidate and Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. The couple were only teenagers when it was announced in the middle of the 2008 US presidential election campaign that they had conceived a child together. They broke up in 2009 after their son Tripp was born but announced their engagement was back on three weeks ago.
Johnston’s attorney Rex Butler said his young charge, a former oil rig worker, was using the video clip as a door to a potential acting career.
“He’s looking forward to doing it. It will give him an opportunity to act a little bit in front of a camera. He’s done a commercial before, but something like this is a little more involved.”
Senser said the controversy surrounding Johnston didn’t hurt.
“Why not? Seriously, what he does, people are interested in him. They want to know who is this guy who’s involved so closely with the Palins. He’s not a bad-looking kid.”
My thoughts? Delusions of grandeur.
