Levi Johnston has back-tracked on his apology to the Palin family, telling the CBS Early Show that he issued a public apology to Sarah Palin last month because his then-fiancée, Bristol, wanted peace in the family.
Johnston told the news program, "Trust me it's easier to make them happy. If you gotta live with them, you gotta make them happy. I wish I hadn't put out that apology, it makes me look like a liar. The rest of stuff I can live with."
In July, when Johnston and Bristol Palin reconciled and appeared headed down the aisle, Johnston apologized saying, "Last year, after Bristol and I broke up, I was unhappy and a little angry. Unfortunately, against my better judgment, I publicly said things about the Palins that were not completely true."
But of that apology, Johnston now says, "That was something I did to make my fiancée happy. She wanted it so we wrote something down and we sent it out because that's what she wanted. Together we put it out there."
