They say any publicity is good publicity, but it looks like Bristol Palin's new reality TV show may have backfired on her.

Baby daddy Levi Johnston is using the Lifetime show as a tool to gain full custody of their son, Tripp.

Levi, 22, was recently photographed picking up paperwork at the local Wasilla, Alaska court house so he can file the documents.

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, viewers were shocked when three-year-old Tripp dropped the F-bomb in a July episode of Life's A Tripp.

“I hate you,” he whines to his Aunt Willow and smacks her on the arm.

He then says “Get away you f***,” according to the caption in the show, but it sounds like he uses the gay slur fa**ot.

Bristol, 21, and Willow laugh as the toddler swears, covering their mouths to try and hide their amusement.

“I’m doing a terrible job disciplining Tripp,” Bristol admits and then says, “I know he’s going to continue to push the limits and push the boundaries.”

And those are exactly the incidents Levi plans to use to exploit Bristol as an unfit mother.

Levi's pregnant girlfriend, Sunny Oglesby, has her baby daddy's back and wrote on her Facebook page Monday how desperately Levi wants to be in Tripp's life.

"Yes the sad reality is that (most) young men dont want to be involved in their childrens life.. Levi has however ALWAYS tried to see his son and WILL be seeing him very soon because he has every right to!" Sunny wrote.
