Levi Johnston Talks Safe Sex With Tyra Banks (VIDEO)

***UPDATE*** 8:30pm:

People.com is reporting that Sarah Palin has issued a statement in response to Levi Johnston's comments to Tyra Banks about his relationship with her daughter Bristol:

"Bristol did not even know Levi was going on the show. We're disappointed that Levi and his family, in a quest for fame, attention, and fortune, are engaging in flat-out lies, gross exaggeration, and even distortion of their relationship," says the statement from the Palin family rep.

"Bristol's focus will remain on raising Tripp, completing her education, and advocating abstinence," the statement continues. "It is unfortunate that Levi finds it more appealing to exploit his previous relationship with Bristol than to contribute to the well being of the child."

The statement ends, saying, "Bristol realizes now that she made a mistake in her relationship and is the one taking responsibility for their actions."

Levi Johnston, ex-fiancee of famous teen mom Bristol Palin, admitted to Tyra Banks in an interview set to air Monday that the couple was not always practicing safe sex and says they shared a bedroom on occasion.

Johnston talks about his relationship with Sarah Palin's daughter next Monday on "The Tyra Banks Show." In a preview, Johnston tells the host that he and Bristol were practicing safe sex, and agrees that her pregnancy must have resulted from some sort of 'wardrobe malfunction.' But when pressed by Tyra, he admits that they used protection "most of the time" -- but not all the time. According to the show's website, Johnston also dishes to Tyra about being thrust into the spotlight at the Republican National Convention, and why his engagement with Bristol ended, what he really thinks of Governor Palin and what it's like to be a teen father.

People has some additional quotes, including that he believes Sarah Palin knew he and Bristol were sexually active, as they shared a bedroom.

[americanalien]

Levi is just an average guy. The Palins are a walking freak show.

Does anyone really care about this?

I do because this is kind of soap opera we'd have to put with if the old man dragged the crazy Governor from Alaska into the White House.

[americanalien]

I do because this is kind of circus we'd have to put with if Palin had become VP.

[Gryffindor]

But why they are on TB (Tyra Banks I mean)?!...why not on Jerry Springer..!!!
Take Ashley Biden along....!!!

[pfranklin400]

The left wing mob has been ripping Palin's daugher since the day McCain first nominated her, but Biden's daugher has an issue and the conservative media ignores it alone. That is the difference between class and no class.

[ElPerro]

Keep telling yourself that if it helps you sleep at night.

[BartLA]

Palin exploited her family at the RNC when she trotted out Bristol and Levy and announced they're getting married. It was all a show that of course unravelled.

[Rictracee]

exactly.. it was all a "phoney" show. the truth is coming out of the woodwork. And there is nothing she can do about it, but pay the Johnstons off, and being that she does not have that money that the RNC was giving the Johnstons during the election to play ball, now its zippo time.. and the johnstons are giving up the goods.

[americanalien]

You hit the nail on the head.

[BartLA]

I love how Bristol is now advocating abstinence. Just like her mother did. How about advocating responsible birth control? Purity rings don't work unless they are large enough to close off an orafice.

[americanalien]

LoL. Bart, you are the best!

[J606ers]

PALIN '12

[MonaLisa65]

No, it's only 11 so far....

(We are talking 'ethics law violations', right?)

[NPA]

The Palins don't take kindly to opposition, this boy's life could be in danger.

[americanalien]

I hope the Witch don't hunt him down.

[whatsthisthen]

I didn't know that he was a nimrod. Never heard him speak before Tyra. Guess that he is just a lower class of white t r a s h than the Palins are.

[BartLA]

I think pretty much he's on par with the Palins.

[americanalien]

I'm enjoying this. This is so delicious!

[Rictracee]

As far as I see it.. Sarah and The republican party / particular the far right , put Levi Johnston on "Front Street" .. so he might as well walk up and down it tell his side of the story. There is NO REASON he or his family should sit silent , Sarah political aspirations means nothing to them.

[Rictracee]

this whole thing is a "mess" because of the lies that were perpetuated by the Palins and the McCain camp and the republican party, this is what Sarah gets.

[Rictracee]

i see those presidental aspirations are out the window now.. the truth is coming out.

[liminal67]

The never ending soap opera...
