LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – Mercede Johnston Playboy photos are confirmed today; Levi Johnston’s sister Mercede Johnston posed for Playboy pics for a price tag of $25,000. Before these pictures, Mercede Johnston first made news when she posted a series of Facebook pics and harsh comments about Bristol Palin after the birth of her child. Mercede has since changed her appearance. But it’s her comments about the Palins, as much as her spread for Playboy, that is turning heads.

Mercede Johnston was paid no more than $25,000 for her spread for Playboy magazine pictures, news reports claim this weekend. Johnston, the sister of Levi Johnston, recently slammed his baby momma. After Palin promoted her book ‘Not Afraid of Life: My Journey So Far’, Johnston said the book should have been entitled ‘Not Afraid of Lies.’

Johnston said of Palin “sadly it is now very obvious that his [Levi's] love was never truly reciprocated. Now I don’t usually feel comfortable talking about another person’s … [love] life.”

But, she added “I never even liked talking about Bristol trying to get pregnant because I feel that’s a very personal topic. Trust me, he would never do to her what she [Bristol] has so casually done to him. Never.”

In 2009, LALATE first reported about Mercede after her comments about Sarah Palin and Bristol. Mercede was one of the first to report a Palin and Johnston split after the two welcomed a new child, got engaged, and Johnston’s mother (Sherry Johnston) got arrested. “Levi tries to visit Tripp every single day, but Bristol makes it nearly impossible. She tells him he can’t take the baby to our house because she doesn’t want him around ‘white trash’!”

Of Sarah Palin, she said at the time “I used to love Sarah. But I’ve lost lots of respect for her.“ She had once wrote on MySpace “My Sister in Law — Ooh how I love her”. Such is no longer the case.

In July this year, she was back swinging against the Palins. “Does anybody really believe a good Christian girl, such as Bristol claims to be, would really lose her virginity in a tent?” She added “I don’t think so. Usually girls want their first time to be meaningful and special.”

As to Bristol’s book, she remarked “After she made those hurtful and indefensible statements in her book about my brother, I decided no matter how uncomfortable I feel talking about this, it is something which I must do,” Mercede fumed.

“No one deserves to be accused of such a disgusting and horrendous thing. Especially not my brother who, believe it or not, truly loved Bristol with all of his heart.”
