Dog’s son, PUNK, sold the tapes that have caused the media circus to the National Enquirer for “a lot of money” say the Bounty Hunter’s lawyer.
A top civil right leader has said it’s time for Dog to go: “Get Dog OFF TV!”
Bad Dog.
It looked like Duane Chapman was rallying. Now more trouble for the Dog. It was revealed just hours ago that the Bounty Hunter was sold out by his son PUNK. The tapes which have caused all the uproar were sold by his son PUNK to the National Enquirer for a “large amount of money.
Now a civil rights leader is saying: Get the Dog OFF television.
From the National Enquirer:
This is awful. This man should not have a show on television!”
Tamika Mallory — who heads the Rev. Al Sharpton’s National Action Network’s Decency Initiative — lashed out at Duane “Dog” Chapman after hearing a tape of the bounty hunter’s racist rants.
“I think the A&E network should uphold their standards, which should be that people are not allowed to use demeaning language toward another racial group and marginalize them.”
Maybe just the first in a series of calls for the Dog’s permanent TV banishment? Or will the Bounty Hunter make a comeback?
EARLIER:
Dog Gets Punk’ed!
Dog’s son, Punk put him in the doghouse.
Duane Chapman, aka Dog the Bounty Hunter’s, son, Punk, sold the old man out for 30 pieces of silver.
Television bounty hunter Duane “Dog” Chapman’s son taped a private phone conversation in which the reality star used a racial slur repeatedly, then sold it to a tabloid for “a lot of money,” Chapman’s lawyer said Thursday.
“I guess because of whatever level of anger he had of his father, he felt the need to express it in that manner,” attorney Brook Hart told The Associated Press.

Get the Dog off the air! Thats the answer! PLEASE!!!! we all say things behind closed doors that we would be mortified if repeated on the streets.. That was a private conversation that should have remained just that “PRIVATE”.
It amazes me that no makes a case about black people who use it on a daily basis to reference each other or the rappers, whose albums is full of these hateful words that the black people have fought since their existence to eliminate from people’s mouths
After every arrest the “Dog” tries to talk to the troubled out of their current situation for the better.. Please people stop the BS
What we have here is a BIG double standard. I agree with
JFF. We hear black people using the “N” word everyday
(its everyother word from there mouth). This was a private
convo between “son” and father. Let the Dog go and do what
he does best. And let A&E tv show him with pride.
Dog does good things for our society.
Look at where he goes to work every day no wonder he has a
fowl mouth. As long as they edit it out so we cant get our
virgin ears from hurting, it’s all good.
It was a private conversation anyway, give him a break.
Dog should disown his son for selling that tape. It is not anyones. business what family members say to each other. People say worse than that in private.
I’m e-mailing A&E to NOT have his show back ever. We don’t need an ignorant racist moron setting examples for our kids. I’ll e-mail advertisers if I have to in order to keep him off. Black people don’t have to take it anymore! Dog should remember that nothing is private when you’re in the public eye. Get that trash out of here!
Oh Yeah justice58
YOU are the only one to be perfect. You never say anything behind closed doors that WOULD not insult anyone… IT WAS PRIVATE!!!! He didnt say it in public he said to his son during a telephone call! Get a life
JFF
I strive to be perfect. It WAS a private conversation until the son went public with it. Too bad Dog didn’t get the memo on what not to say. I will continue to e-mail A&E to never bring Dog’s show back & others have/will e-mail A&E as well. Enough of the BS! African Americans don’t have to tolerate this. Dog should have been educated enough to know when you’re in the public’s eye, there is no privacy.
How come blacks can use the N word without incident, but whites can’t? BECAUSE whites are discrimated against these days – think about it.
I am so tired of the double standards. Blacks cry racism over every little thing, but the truth of the matter is, they are the main racists in our country today. Its ok for them to call other blacks the N word, and its ok for them to make racist remarks to whites without any penalties. Sandford and Son, and the Jefferson’s have been on TV for many years. “Honkey” and other white racists remarks are a commonality on these shows. Take them offffff the air. If Dog is a racist, that is his business. It isn’t as if he declared it in public. He was having a private conversation with his pathetic excuse for a son. Dog should disown him, and move on with his life. I believe in karma, and it will make it back to this filthy excuse for a human being. The money he and his girlfriend made off of the enquirer will run out soon enough and then what? In my opinion, those two need to go crawl back into the gutter they crawled out of. Dog’s show should be reinstated, because he does do alot of good for his country. I will write to A&E, and anyone else who will listen until his show is back on the air.
Monique gave an interview & it aired on Hannity & Colmes. She is beautiful, intelligent, classy, very articulate, and doesn’t deserve to be called racial slurs. Blacks have suffered unimaginable damaged for years because of that word & we’re not going to take it anymore. A&E is probably receiving tons of e-mail a day asking them not to give Dog his show back. He has to face the consequences for his actions.
He even admitted that he was warned by whites and blacks to stop using that word but chose not to until his behind was exposed. It’s his own fault. He had a million chances and he blew it. Game over!
Dog has also sayed “white trash” on the show before but nobody screamed about that they didn’t even sensor it out,So if so many people are “against racism” why didn’t they stand up then? And instead of throwing fits why not just let them put his show back on and don’t watch it? nobody’s stapling your ass to the couch. Furthermore black people arnt the only ones facing racism and for the record Larry King had a poll on his site and 87% voted that he should get his show back *I voted him back on the air to*.
P.S: I’m not racist but they used to have slaves and they let them all free (all’s good so far right?) but then the instead of reaching a happy medium it went to far the other way…
What’s the big deal!!!! So what he said what he said “TO HIS SON” Why his son did what he did ???? There’s something deep down that we may not ever know. However, It was a private conversation between him and his son. It’s not like he was speaking to the public. We all have opinions on things and yes there are certain things we all keep to ourself, but then are times we share certain things with family and friends. This one just seem to blow up in his face – DUE TO HIS SON!!!!!! Shame on him. What, did your dad not give you something you wanted so you decided to turn on him? I hope you can live with yourself because what goes around always come around. Dog, Beth and the crew, you guys hang in there. You’ve been thru tougher times than this. God Bless you all!!
I am so tired of the divisions of race in today’s society.
Black rappers say the N-word, and it’s OK. If a group of black people start a support group for each other, it’s cool. If a non-white feels bitter towards whites as race, it’s understandable.
If a white person says the N-word, they’re racist. If a group of white people start a support group, it’s a cult. If a white person commits a crime against a non-white, it’s a hate crime.
When will everyone understand that every crime is a hate crime? We should not use racial slurs against each other. We should not isolate ourselves from each other. When we give special priviledges to one group of people because they’re different, that doesn’t make things better… it only divides us further.
As for Dog the Bounty Hunter, I am disappointed in him for what he said. It’s hard to know that some of those old racial slurs are still being used today. While he claims the slur was not meant to be derogatory, it still should not have been used because the simple fact is that the word is offensive to many people today. I hope that when this is over he will think carefully before he says such a thing ever again.
On the other hand, Dog’s show is going to be cancelled for this incident, TV had better be prepared to start cancelling a lot of shows. How many reality TV hosts have done or said things similar to what Dog said? What about people who have gone to jail for worse offences? Fraud? DUIs? Serious federal offences, not simply a taboo racial slur? Perhaps A&E is coming down hard on Dog because he is a role model, and as such better behaviour was expected. Whatever it is, I hope the network will realize that he is human and he has made a mistake. For all the second chances that Dog has given to the fugitives he has captured, I think that he deserves a second chance to try and correct his mistakes. They should remember that for all his mistakes, Dog has also done a substantial amount of good in this world.
And one more little tidbit for all those civil rights activists who fancy this man a racist: Wasn’t Dog’s own civil rights breached when his son recorded a private conversation without his knowledge and then sold it to the tabloids?
Enough with the double standards already!
And for those of you who think this is just another white girl sitting up on her pulpit… I’m Apache. God bless.
Does ANYONE even know where the “N” word originated from?!!! It came from the word NEGRO. The word Negro has been replaced with the word African-American. EVERY culture has their ” alternate name” that a lot of people refer to. Italians, French, Germans, Pakistans, Americans, Canadians, Natives, Chinese, etc…!!!! Leave Mr.Chapman, and his family alone!!! Put him back on the air!!! He does more good- than harm!!! And EVERYONE KNOWS IT!!!! And to Tucker and his “girlfriend”- I hope you both suffer for what you’ve done to the Chapman family!!! It wasen’t just Duane you both hurt- you hurt the whole family!! As well as Tim and his wife and children!!! There are a LOT OF LITTLE CHILDREN in this family- and they are innocent in all of this!!! Now they are suffering as well!!!
I think that Chapman’s son needs help…he not only broke the boundaries of his family’s privacy (what they had of it), but he deliberately betrayed his father in the worst way. It is true, that we all do things behind closed doors that we wouldn’t want published…no one is perfect. And it is true, that we all get into arguments with family over differences of opinion/policy/etc. I am not saying that Chapman was right, but 1) it was PRIVATE and should NEVER have been leaked, much less SOLD to the highest bidder; and 2)his betrayal of his father is something that is going to haunt him the rest of his life, I believe. I hope Tucker is ready for the emotional and familial consequences…..They are all in my prayers.
My vote? Put him back on the air. He never should have been scandalized like this. Betrayal, pure and simple. To those who disagree….picture yourself with all your behind-closed-door secrets on the front page of the paper. Try wearing his shoes for a minute. He does do a lot of good, as Rich (above) said. With the job he has, I agree…a foul mouth is the least of some of the sins of this world he has to come up against. (I am the wife of a corrections officer in a state prison, so I understand a bit of where he is coming from. You have to have a certain personality for that kind of thing.)
Yes, as D.A. (above) says, Dog, Beth, and crew, hang in there…you have a lot of prayers going up about this situation…Keep on, keeping on. Psalm 91.
Just my two cents.
I believe that it is about time to put ALL of the crap to rest once oand for all! The media, Dr. Phil show (which I started to watch because the mention of Dog Chapman) but quickly turned it off when the GOOD Dr. made the statement that he had asked Dog to appear on his show, but Dog refused. CONGRATULATIONS Dog! It IS NOT anyones business what was said between Dog and his Stupid, IGNORANT son!!!!!! The two bit little boy was mad because his FATHER was doing his FATHERLY duties of intervention!!!!!
The “black” folk, call each other the “N” word…. but bring out the cross or a firing squad if a “WHITE” man says the word. I guess it is “politically correct” to NOT say the word.
But, I just learned that in Austrailia it is “politically INCORRECT” now… NOT to say “HO HO HO” during the Christmas Holiday season. That one should say “HA HA HA”
The crap that needs to be put to rest is ALL this “POLITICAL CORRECTNESS” that seems to fuel no more then racial tensions.
Just my thoughts. I hope I stepped on a few toes here.
hey whos the BIG BAD DOG”” now—dog daddy you jest lost the show and poor miss dogy cant get her nails done — wa”’ wa”’ wa”
HEY NELSON- MAYBE YOU SHOULD OPEN UP A DICTIONARY AND LEARN HOW TO SPELL BEFORE YOU RUN YOUR MOUTH ON THE INTERNET!!
You can’t say anything now days can you…. Dog also refered to people as “white trash” , Nobody took him off of the air for that. If his show got cancelled for that then there are many others on the same road. We all say things behind doors that we shouldn’t say but more than that a private conversation should be left a private conversation. He was speaking to his son and we all have our rights to our opions so he cant feel comfortable enough to have a private conversation with one of his own family members. Dog and Beth and family hang in there. You are in my prayers and in the prayers of my family. Keep on keeping on praying to our God.
To the so called Justice58, you should get the heck out in the real world and get a life. Let me school you in the real world. In the real world the important black people always want a white persons head before theyknow the facts and when they are wrong tyey never say that they are sorry to the people and the familes that they hurt[the Duke case, O.J.Simpson,cases come to mind.]They also make excuses when a black person is sent to jail even when it is the right thing to do, but they never say that when a white person is sent to jail.They also get jobs because of the color of their skin, which is dead wrong,they can say things that any other race would get in trouble for, and get by with it. It is like Dog’s son sold out his family and got by with it, beause Tucker and his girlfriend had to know what was going to happen. And you can’t tell me that now that the Dog is being sued by Tuckers so called girlfriend, that it’s not about money, and not about what was said about his girlfriend. You should really look at what A.K. and K.E. wrote and then sit down and try to think about what the two ladies said. And when your doing that maybe A.K. would responed to what I said.
EVERYONE SHOULD READ WHAT RICHARD POOR JUST WROTE! HE IS DEAD-ON!!!ARE A.K., A.E., MYSELF, AND RICHARD POOR THE ONLY ONES THAT ARE THINKING WITH A LOGICAL, CLEAR HEAD?!!!! WAKE-UP AMERICA, CANADA, AND EVERYONE ELSE THAT HAS AN OPINION!!! A&E REALLY NEEDS TO GIVE THEIR HEADS A SHAKE!!! DOG’S CONVERSATION WAS HIS OWN PRIVATE BUSINESS WITH HIS OWN SON!!!! WHO THE HELL IS A&E TO PLAY JUDGE AND JURY?!!!!! HOW DARE THEY?!!!! I KNOW ONE THING’S FOR SURE… IF I EVER HAVE TO TALK SOME SENSE INTO MY DAUGHTERS OVER WHO THEY’RE DATING… I WOULD NEVER LOSE MY JOB OVER IT!!! WHAT A PATHETIC JOKE!!! IF A&E WERE TO ACTUALLY LISTEN TO THE TAPE- MAYBE A BRAIN CELL WOULD KICK IN AND THEY WOULD SEE THAT DOG DOESEN’T CARE WHAT HER RACE IS- IT’S THE FACT THAT HE WAS CONCEARNED THAT THIS PERSON WA A THREAT TO HIS SON- AND HIS FAMILY!!! I HEARD THE TAPE- AND I THINK A&E SHOULD REPLAY THAT TAPE TO THEMSELVES- BECAUSE THE PROBLEM DOG HAD WITH TUCKER WAS THE FACT THAT HIS GIRLFRIEND WAS THREATENING HIS REPUTATION!!! THAT’S IT…. NOTHING ELSE!!! A&E- GET A GRIP!!!! YOU PUT TONNES OF DIRTY SMUT ON YOUR STATION THAN THAT!!!! AND TO TUCKER AND MONIQUE- I HOPE IT WAS WORTH IT!!! ARE YOU BOTH HAPPY, AND PROUD OF YOURSELVES NOW?!!!! GOOD JOB!!!!
DOG CHAPMAN IS A SWEET KIND LOVING MAN. I DO NOT BELEIVE HE IS A RACIST. THE MAN SAID HE DID NOT CARE ABOUT THE COLOUR OF HIS SONS GIRLFRIEND, IT WAS THE PERSON HE HAD A PROBLEM WITH. WE SAY A LOT OF THINGS WHEN WE ARE MAD, AND MORE SO WITH OUR FAMILY IN A PRIVATE CONVERSATION. NOBODY SHOULD GET FIRED OVER WHAT THEY SAY IN A PRIVATE CONVERSATION WITH THEIR FAMILY. PUT DOG THE BOUNTY HUNTER BACK ON THE AIR. I L0OKED FORWARD TO WATCHING HIS SHOW EVERY WEEK, NOW ITS NOT THE SAME, I AM NOT EXICTED ABOUT TELEVISION! PLEASE BRING DOG BACK!
I THINK HE DESERVES A 2ND CHANCE. WE ALL SAY THINGS IN PRIVATE THAT HOPE TO GOD THAT NO ONE FINDS OUT ABOUT. I TRULY BELIEVE THE MAN IS SORRY ABOUT ALL OF THIS AND IS-REPEAT-IS CHANGING HIS WAYS. GIVE HIM ANOTHER CHANCE. WE ALL DESERVE A 2ND CHANCE. DO IT FOR HIM. HE DOES WITNESS TO THE PEOPLE HE HUNTS FOR BOUNTY.I THINK HE SHOULD BE BACK ON THE AIR-SAME TIME -SAME STATION!!!!!!!!! NOW…..
I think Punk should be ashamed of himself doing that to his father and all his family. He just wanted the money. Both of them set Dog up. I do believe Dog is sorry for what he said. Give him a second chance. Love Ya Dog . Your fan Kathy
we want the dog and family back they have done a tremendous job clearing streets of drug dealers and creeps from hawaii and colorado for this we ban him is that the way we show are thanks. we could find a better way to do it by letting him back on the air wwhere he belongs and should never have been taken from.his son should be ashamed of what he did if he needed money that bad im sure his dad would of helped him. what is said between father and son should stay between father and son.from a very devoted fan in des moines iowa.we luv u dog and beth hope to see u soon.
It would be interesting to see how A&E is doing now with Dog off the air. I certainly do not watch it or support the channel anymore since the show was taken off the air.
TO EVERYONE WHO HAS NOT SINNED, CAST THE FIRST STONE. WE ALL BLOW IT FROM TIME TO TIME AND REGRET IT AFTERWARDS, HOW LONG SHOULD WE BE PUNISHED FOR OUR ACTIONS? THE DOG HAS APOLOGIZED AND I BELIEVE HE MEANS IT AND I REALLY MISS THE SHOW. SO IF A&E DON’T WANT TO CARRY HIS SHOW, WHY HASN’T ANOTHER NETWORK TRIED TO GET IT. DOG WE MISS YOU.
I think Dog Should be put back on the air. He is a good Roll model for a lot of people. So he made a mistake. Big deal get over it and move on. There is a lot of worse stuff on there air. And everyone know that paper is nothing but a Rag any way. I use to useit just to line my rats cage.
I believe this entire situation has gotten totally blown out of proportion. I enjoyed watching Dog the Bounty Hunter, along with his family. Yes, at times the language tended to get a bit tackless, but then don’t we all at times. They were out in the real world dealing with real issues that affect all of us. They see a side of reality that most of us don’t. Shame on Tucker, for selling his father out. Shame on blacks that call each other the N word and call it just something a brother does, and then call discrimination when a white person says it. What was intended to be a private conversation was made public in order for a son to make money and hurt his father. A lot more going on here, then just a tactless referral to a young woman that Dog did not want to misunderstand what goes on in their home. But…the other side of it is…I am white and do not say the N word because of the disrespect to Blacks…..maybe a re-think on Dog’s part about discontinuing the use of the word in his home might be in-order. Bring the show back. O.J. Simpson got more forgive-ness than Dog is getting.
Let this DOG run free ,there should be NO leash on him.Look at the mans track record,look who has’nt made a bad comment his was a private conversation .I thought the U.S.A stood behind the free speech .The man was on the phone grt real A&E bring back the DOG
I think it is terrible for what has taken place with the dog and his show. I think the guilty one here is his son. And it is all for the love of big bucks to do what with. Buy a few drugs. Give me a break everyone one says things in private when they are angry that they would never say in public. I I do hear a lot of Black Canadian’s and Black Americans use the N word alot of times. But I forgot we have a double standard here. No no for the white’s But yes always to the Black race. Get over it and let the Dog continue on with his show. He was doing great work and he believed in second chances and so dose God. So who are you to say that this man can’t have a second chance.
Glad to see your show back on A&E. I wish you the best of luck and please stay safe. You are a man of God and you do great work for him. As for the people who criticized you for your comment, Jesus said “let those that have never sinned cast the first stone” so shut up and let the BIG DOG HUNT!!!!!
well i think you should keep dog the bounty hunter on tv i really like the show and i think he should not listen to anyone and keep up the good work.
justice58- LOOKS LIKE YOUR EMAILS DIDNT WORK! HAHAH
BLACKS WAY OVER PLAY THAT RACISM CARD ANYMORE!
I’M SO GLAD TO SEE THE DOG IS BACK!
I believe everyone is entitled to their opinion and mine is I love Dog the Bounty Hunter and watch it faithfully every Wednesday evening regardless if it is a rerun or not. Cant’t wait till some new shows come on. We all make mistakes and if you think you are perfect and never say something negative, think twice. You’re probably as guilty as I or the next person. I personally would love to be able to meet Dog and his family. There are programs on TV that I personally think should be taken off the air but I don’t have to watch them. Leave Dog and his family alone and let them do the job they do so well. Not many people try to change someone’s life as they do.
The Dog made a mistake by making racial slurs about his sons girlfriend. I was taught to beleive that the n word ment that a person of any race, color or creed does another person wrong. The Dog did the right thing by telling his son sorry. It is GODS job to judge not ours. By running the Dog down for what he said makes you no better than he was at the time of his misdeed.
we hope tucker well change dog and beth are the best unle and aunt in the world amen
all ican say is Dog you are the king of bounty hunting. good luck to you and family.
WELL WE ALL HAVE CHILDREN WHO DONE STUPID THINGS ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. THE ONLY THING IS THE STUPID PEOPLE IN THE NEWS MEDIEA DOSE KNOW IT. AS WERE DUANE IS IN THE SPOT LIGHT. ALL I WANT TO SAY IS THAT CHILD IS LUCKY HE DOSE NOT IN GA. OR ANY WHERE ELSE BE CAUSE I KNOW A FEW DADS WOULD KICK HIS REAR END. I WANT SAY THE CHAPMAN FAMILY IS GOOD FAMILY CAUSE SOME TIMES THEY DO SPECIAL THINGS FOR THE PEOPLE.
i think “dog” is one of the best reality shows on ty, if it wasnt for him scum would still be fleeing the law, so he said the N word, like a few have menchioned above, its all double standards, you read alot about blacks screaming racisicim at the slightest, yet when a black is racist to a white, nothing is done, it was a private conversation between so called “son” and dog, i was wondering if dog may have been deliberitly set up, why eles record a conversation with your dad??? mind you from what ive gathered about tucker is he is a drug user, and they will do anything for money!! all the best “dog” and “beth” we will always stand behind you!!!
also i hope you get to catch the peodiphile, and rid this scum off the street, and to say you will only do it for a dollar, to me proves your one of the BEST bounty hunters ever!!!!
take care chapman’s
Dianne Reid from Dundee, Scotland
It is not up to us to judge… it’s unfortunate that Dogs son was taken advantage of and “Money” was at the bottom of this.. Young and unexperienced anger rage for whatever reason… nobodies hands are clean we have all made mis-takes if you want to call them that.. they are real ppl.. there are alot worse show on television than Dog the Bounty Hunter. they are real ppl with real life problems just like anyone else.. luv you Dog and Beth.. keep the faith.. prayers for you and your family peace luv and harmony.
I thing dog is in his amendment rights for the job and what it contains of doing day from day and to protecting of wife and family quote from the book sayns sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me. dog is a legend and when you get so high up there other people want a free lift whitch took place.i whould be happy to take on his case for free i will be completly be out of the pitchur i will just tell the layer what to say
Well what do you know. The dog made it back on the air after all. This is good. If blacks are so sensitive to prejudice why is it okay to have a African American College fund? Do you realize the crying they would do if someone tried to start a poor white kids college fund. They would cry day and night. What about something as simple as the new dating sites. A place black people can meet it says. What if someone tried to have a whites only dating site? The double standard is so pitiful and obvious it makes me sick. You would think in a day in age that we have a black president they would finally stop their crying. Not so lucky I guess. They will always cry discrimination because they don’t know what else to do with themselves.
