Another possible love child and Brittani Senser's upcoming video turn with Levi Johnston were reportedly new indignities that Bristol Palin could not stomach.
Palin called off her second engagement to Johnston after he told her he may have fathered another child with another teenager. Palin, the teenage daughter of former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, is mother of Johnston's first (as far as we know) child.
Johnston told Palin about the possible other baby on July 14, the day the couple's secret re-engagement was announced, according to the Associated Press. In an interview Wednesday with NBC's "Today Show" anchor Matt Lauer, People magazine's Sandra Sobieraj Westfall said, "Bristol ... wanted Levi to prove he had changed, that he wasn't going to be warring with her mother anymore, that he was going to be truthful, that he was going to be there for [their baby, Tripp]." After a day of accepting congrats on the new engagement, Westfall said, "They were hanging out and Levi said, By the way there's a chance I fathered another baby. She said she sat on the couch crying and Levi did nothing to comfort her, just left."
As for the video, "After Love," written by Senser, a Minnesota singer and daughter of Vikings great and restaurateur Joe Senser, Johnston apparently showed his insensitive side yet again. Westfall said Johnston told Palin "he was going to Hollywood to watch a hunting show. Then she found out he was, in fact, planning to film this music video that is a parody of his relationship with Sarah Palin."
But to be clear: The lyrics to Senser's song were NOT inspired by the Bristol-Levi-Sarah soap opera. The song is about a guy who's relationship with his woman is being thwarted by her disapproving mother, a scenario that's nothing new to the universe.
Senser "wrote that song a minimum of three years ago," Michael (Heat) Williams, the senior veep at Bungalo Records, told me when reached in LA Wednesday. Williams signed both Senser and Johnston. "Pretty amazing," said Williams of the video contributing to the breakup. "That song was not written about Levi's or Bristol's situation. Pretty interesting for us though," said Williams. "Actually we had started talking to him about doing this back in February or March prior to this engagement or any of this stuff."
That video should be plenty hot and steamy now that Johnston doesn't have to be inhibited for fear of making his fiancée jealous? "We think so," said Williams. "Yeah, it's definitely picking up steam."
Under Brett's spell(ing) "Brett Farve" was a trending topic Tuesday on Twitter.
