Bristol Palin Scores A New Gig On ‘Teen Mom OG!’

Bristol Palin is in the news again, but it doesn’t have anything to do with her relationship status with Dakota Meyer (at least, not this time). Nope. The latest? She’s scored a new gig on “Teen Mom OG” and will earn a crapton of money for it.

I am excited to join MTV's 'Teen Mom OG.' I look forward to sharing my experiences and hope that I can help others on their journey.

Palin, 27, who confirmed she’d be joining the cast on Friday, July 20, will be earning $250,000 for the first season with an option for a second and third year, a source exclusively tells Us Weekly. She will also receive an additional $50,000 for each option exercised.

“She could be making $350,000 in three years,” the insider adds.

DANG, that’s a lot of dough.

Former cast member Abraham spoke out about Palin’s new gig in a statement to Us on Thursday, July 19: “Who cares! … I don’t care as there’s no replacement for me, as we all know,” she said at the time. Abraham quit the show in March after she was given an ultimatum by executive producer Morgan J. Freeman to quit the adult entertainment industry or cease to appear on the show. She later sued MTV with claims of wrongful termination before reaching a $5 million settlement.

You know what this means? Sarah Palin will be back in the news too. In fact, rumor has it she’ll make an appearance on the show.

“Bristol’s gonna be a great messenger for kind of overcoming a little bit of challenge and doing well in life,” Sarah Palin told TMZ.

“My daughters have been telling me who all the characters are. I’m kind of trying to catch up, but my daughters Bristol and Willow and Piper, they all have great respect for some of the girls who have really overcome some obstacles and done well with their children,” she continued.

Full disclosure: I’ve never watched “Teen Mom” and don’t intend to anytime soon. But if you’re a fan, get ready, ’cause Bristol is all in.
