From CNN.com:

Bristol Palin’s former fiance publicly apologized to her family Tuesday in a statement to PEOPLE magazine, saying that some of his comments about the Palin family made in the wake of the 2008 presidential campaign are not totally true...

'Last year, after Bristol and I broke up, I was unhappy and a little angry. Unfortunately, against my better judgment, I publicly said things about the Palins that were not completely true,' Johnston told CNN’s sister publication PEOPLE Magazine. 'I have already privately apologized to Todd and Sarah. Since my statements were public, I owe it to the Palins to publicly apologize.'

I'm looking forward to hearing the apologies from all of the media outlets and shows that gave Johnston loads of undue publicity and fame when he was openly bashing former Governor Palin...but I am not holding my breath.
