The last we reported on Levi Johnston’s sister, Mercede, she was claiming that her Levi’s ex, Bristol Palin, had undergone liposuction and a breast reduction prior to her stint on Dancing With The Stars. This was before Bristol showed up with an entirely new face that she later claimed was medically necessary to reshape her jaw or something. Prior to going on DWTS Bristol worked as a receptionist at a “dermatologist’s” office so I don’t doubt that she had other cosmetic procedures before she got a new face.

Mercede is currently featured in a nude pictorial in the latest issue of Playboy, since they’ll take anyone with a meager connection to the infamous. She has an accompanying interview in which she predictably trashes the Palins like her brother Levi has done before her. Mercede calls Sarah Palin unfit to be President since she couldn’t serve out her term as Governor, which is public knowledge. The most interesting part is where Mercede claims that then 17 year-old Bristol Palin planned to get pregnant with her son, Tripp, and that she worked on it for several months with Levi. Mercede also claims that Bristol’s brother, Track, was an Oxycontin and cocaine addict who was sent off to serve in Iraq in order to get out of his mother’s hair during the 2008 campaign. We’ve heard this about Track before.

Levi Johnston’s sister posed nude for September’s Playboy, but because people read it for the articles, we have to listen to her babble on about her tenuous connection to the Palins of Wasilla. The New York Post has tidbits from the interview:

On Sarah Palin as president: “I think she’d have had a mental breakdown. As governor she quit on us. What does that say about her?” Also, “I would say 70%” of Wasillans “can’t stand” the ex-governor…
Despite that: “It’s hard to get a job in this town because of the Palins. People say, ‘Oh, Mercede Johnston, I don’t know if people are going to come in if she works here.’ ”
Bristol’s sweet text to Levi about impending daddydom: “Ever since the moment I found out I was pregnant, I prayed to God you weren’t the father.”
Bristol Planned her pregnancy: “Bristol’s pregnancy wasn’t an accident. She and Levi planned it. They were trying to conceive for months.”
Bristol’s brother Track Palin was an addict: “He did OxyContin and mostly cocaine. He didn’t choose to go into the Army; he went there because his mom made him, to get him out of the way so when she was at the convention they wouldn’t know he does drugs and would think he was a patriot.” Maybe he was getting it from someone dear to Mercede?

Who knows if this chick is telling the truth. Her own mother plead guilty to a felony count of dealing Oxycontin and was sentenced to three years in prison in November of 2009. I wouldn’t doubt that Track, who is now married with a baby on the way, was doing drugs.

As for whether little Tripp, Bristol’s baby, was planned that would be a real bombshell if it’s true. Bristol described her first time with Levi as happening during a camping trip when she was blackout drunk on wine coolers. She later explained that she wasn’t accusing him of rape and defended her decision to keep on having sex with him. “We did it that one night and I just figured it’s okay to do it again because I’d already broken my moral code.” You might assume that’s what Mercede means when she says her brother and his ex were “trying to conceive for months.” They were having sex and they weren’t doing anything to prevent pregnancy. It sounds like Bristol was pretty deep in denial about it too.

In an entry on what is supposedly Mercede’s official blog, she claims that Bristol’s story about the camping trip is entirely trumped up and that “Personally I have never even heard of a single case where a girl continues to date her rapist for years, while enjoying an active and consensual sex life, and then actively TRYING to have a baby with this person who supposedly ‘took advantage of her’.”
