The issue was finally aired on The View, thanks to Barbara Walters:
And Levi – who told me he had never seen Sarah Palin fully pregnant "like Bristol was" in private – adds a piece of evidence that backs up Palin's weird story:
HuffPost: You say that Sarah kept Trig's pregnancy a secret until the seventh month.
Johnston: Yes, she kept it very secret. Willow had actually found the pregnancy stick in her bedroom. That's when we all found out because she went around telling everybody. Bristol and the whole family was hurt that their mother couldn't share that with them. Keeping it away from your own family is kind of messed up.
HuffPost: Describe Sarah and Todd's marriage.
Johnston: I'm no marriage counselor here but I had a mother and father growing up my whole life. [The Palins] were completely, 100 percent different from my family. They rarely spoke to each other, they never had family meals. I never saw them really do anything together unless the cameras were on and then they played an American family. Todd always slept on the couch, never in Sarah's room, that I've seen.
