Which F-Word Did Tripp Palin Use?

Controversy erupts over what was bleeped from latest 'Life's a Tripp'

An Internet firestorm is raging over which F-word got bleeped in Sunday's episode of Lifetime's "Life's a Tripp."

 

Bing: More about 'Life's a Tripp'

 

"Go away, you (bleep)!" is what Tripp Palin, 3, yelled at his aunt, Willow, with the bleep intruding after the "f" consonant .

The Huffington Post, Salon and Gawker all claim it was the F-word known as a homophobic slur. ("Hmm, I wonder where Tripp learned to use 'f****t' as an insult," Gawker wrote.)

 

Also: 2011-2012 TV season in review | Shows that went too soon | Also: Summer TV report card

 

In response, Bristol Palin has taken to her blog to claim that the F-word in question was merely the standard one that basic cable subscribers aren't supposed to hear and three-year-olds aren't supposed to use.

"As I've said before, I sometimes struggle to raise Tripp," Sarah Palin's eldest daughter wrote on Monday. "However, he does NOT use slurs."

Interestingly enough, Willow apologized for using the slur F-word on Facebook two years ago, in response to a former classmate who bashed "Sarah Palin's Alaska."

Either way, Bristol was correct when she stated, on "Life's a Tripp," that she's "doing a terrible job disciplining Tripp."

"Life's a Tripp" airs Tuesdays at 11 p.m. ET/PT on Lifetime.

Sarah and her upstanding daughter who is a poster girl for teen pregnancy, they are both steeew-pedd LOSERS. They are zeros, a disgrace to the female gender. When Tripp gets older he should get himself away as fast as he can. Hopefully he can learn about people and life that way. His family is just a bunch of attention whores and trash.

A little motherly advice my dear....don't threaten the kid. Actually do something when he acts like a brat and you won't have a brat...end of story. Your mom's supposed to be a republican...beat the kids behind. Show him you are boss and I promise you he won't act up anymore. You let him run over you now he's just gonna get worse as he gets older the you'll have a criminal on your hands..

Hey Bristol!

 

Go and find REAL work, and sew up that hole between your legs, so you won't be producing any more innocent children, doomed to grow into idiotic adults.

This garbage needs to go off television. Bristol Palin has no values or decency. Her mother Sarah

is brainless. The Palins need to go to Siberia, so no one will ever hear of these bozos again.

It's amazing, but not shocking that so many of you are open racists. ALL of YOU should be dropped on an isolated island with no means of escape, and forced to fend for yourselves on Mother Nature and your wits; No matter how limited that resource (your wits) is!

on the reality show, sarah palin specifically and deliberately told her daughter "never tell the truth to the public".  so #1, the daughter is lying, and #2, sarah palin admittedly lies to the public.  it's beyond pathetic that someone like sarah palin could actually be a potential vice president of this country.  even worse, that someone like W Bush could become president.

He doesn't use slurs? He most certainly did in that clip! Gee I wonder where he heard it from. 
Bad behavior almost ALWAYS starts at home. She has made her rank in the "pathetic excuse for parenting" list right along side her mother., don't be surprised if that kid ends up in prison.

Thank for showing us how NOT to raise a kid. I don't watch her show but I saw a clip of it and it was nice to see her looking horrified for a little bit and also it was nice to learn that she was being sued for her own little public homophobic rant on her show..... :)

There is no explanation! You parade yourself as some kind of responsible mother with loads of unending wisdom that you don't have. Your Dog & Pony show only makes your inabilities as a mother and a person all the more glaring. Get out of the spotlight while you still have some dignity left. Money and fame doesn't make you responsible or wise, just shallow and ridiculous because you can't handle them with dignity and grace.

Get off the stage already! Your spotlight was gone a long time ago.

Typical Palin

 

Any of them does something wrong...it is never their fault, it is the media.

Why do everything has to a race issue? This is about being a parent not about whether black, white, hispanics or asians are doing this or that. Everyone should love and teach their kids morals no matter what race you are. Please cut it out.

Not only did Biden use the F word on stage, Obama said that Biden's remark was his (Obama's) favorite moment of the ceremony honoring Obamacare. And, the Democratic National Committee and the committee to re-elect Obama are both selling a t-shirt with the saying on the front (it doesn't spell it out, just the initials, Biden actually said the words). Here's one of the links

For only $30 you can have Biden's infamous words and support the Obama re-election campaign at the same time. Aren't the Democrats the kind of people you want your children to admire?

I want to do a Reality show on parents who think their parenting skills are FLAWLESS. Now.... let America bash you for every little thing that they think is wrong in your parenting life. Leave the woman alone, kids hear things even when we think they are not listening. If you watch any show on tv including cartoons, your kid knows a word that is not politically correct for their age. Disney is a prime example for teaching kids inappropriate words. He probably doesn't run around saying things like this. This is one of those time where you are like OH MY GOD, I can't believe he/she said that. You talk to the child to let them know that their choice of word(s) is not a nice thing to say. It's called discipline and every kids needs it. We only see what Reality TV wants us to see, she seems like a good mom. None of us really know what he said, this is just another way to improve rating.

What the hell is the infatuation with Bristol Palin and her "parenting" skills?  There are MILLIONS of kids being raised by truly deadbeat, criminal and/or junkie single parents but Bristol's 4 year old says a moderately "bad word" and she's a terrible parent?

 

I think some people need a health STFU and kick in the ****.
