Bristol Palin: 'I feel bullied'

Former Dancing With The Stars contestant Bristol Palin has insisted that she's been bullied by other celebrities.

Comedian Kathy Griffin made a series of jokes Palin's weight in December and later refused to apologise for the remarks.

Speaking to E! News host Giuliana Rancic, Palin claimed that she has grown "strong enough" to respond to public criticism.

"I feel like I'm being pushed around, but I'm strong enough to handle it," she said.

The 20-year-old further explained that she sees a double standard in stars who call for an end to bullying and yet still mock the Palin family.

"It's really strange. There's so many celebs these days who are anti-bullying, but there's an exclusion to that. We have these actors… and Kathy Griffin who are like bullies," she remarked.

"I think it just shows [Griffin's] immaturity. I don't think that stuff's funny at all. She just has a weird hate for our family, just like her coming to Alaska and knocking on our front door."

Earlier this week, it was reported that Palin may be planning to pen an autobiography.
