In an interview with the Associated Press, Johnson, the 19-year-old father of ex Bristol Palin's baby, said he believes Sarah Palin resigned as Alaska governor for financial reasons.

Johnston – who lived with the Palin family from early December to the second week in January – said he heard the governor several times say how nice it would be to take advantage of the lucrative deals that were being offered, including a reality show and a book.

In a fiery statement, Palin family spokeswoman Meghan Stapleton shot back: "It is interesting to learn Levi is working on a piece of fiction while honing his acting skills."

Johnston, it should be noted, also is pursuing his own book deal, as well as a movie deal.
