Bristol Palin's 3-year-old son Tripp uses gay slur
Quote:
Bristol Palin's son has used a gay slur in a newly-released clip from her reality show Life's a Tripp.
The single mother's 3-year-old son is featured in the preview for the Lifetime programme calling his aunt Willow a "f*ggot."
Palin and her sister react by gasping and then giggling at the child's outburst, with Palin admitting that she is "doing a terrible job disciplining Tripp… I know he's going to continue to push the boundaries."
The 21-year-old and Lifetime were recently hit by a lawsuit for defamation of character and breach of privacy by Stephen Hanks, a man she had a verbal fight with in a bar while filming her show.
She allegedly accused the man of being homosexual in a derogatory manner when he openly criticised her mother, politician Sarah Palin.
Hanks, who is seeking over $75,000 (£48,206) in damages, also alleges that Palin said of his male companion: "That's a nice wife you have there."
He has also launched a second lawsuit against Palin, Lifetime's parent company A&E and Life's a Tripp producer David McKenzie claiming unspecified punitive damages for emotional distress.
Lifetime has pushed Palin's show from primetime to late night after less than stellar ratings.
That whole family disgusts me. How the hell does a 3 year old even know what a f*ggot is? I had never heard that word until I was much older, and I certainly never heard it from my family. And they seem to think it's pretty funny but she's clearly not a good mother.
Well.
