Official- it was Dog's son who sold him out

[ShellyCrash]

Et tu Brute?

So it really WAS his son who sold him out, OUCH!

Lawyer: Chapman's son sold N-word tape

HONOLULU - Television bounty hunter Duane "Dog" Chapman's private phone conversation, in which he used the N-word repeatedly, was taped and sold to The National Enquirer by his son, Chapman's lawyer said Thursday.

Attorney Brook Hart told The Associated Press that Chapman's son, Tucker, sent the recording to the tabloid for "a lot of money."

"I guess because of whatever level of anger he had of his father, he felt the need to express it in that manner," Hart said.

Tucker Chapman could not immediately be reached for comment. No one answered the telephone at a Honolulu number listed under his name.

Chapman, star of A&E's hit reality series "Dog the Bounty Hunter," apologized Wednesday, shortly after the Enquirer posted on its Web site a 5-minute clip of the conversation in which he uses the N-word in reference to Tucker's girlfriend.

Chapman used the slur six times in the first 45 seconds of the clip, which has damaged his reputation and jeopardized his career as a TV bounty hunter.

A&E has suspended production of the series, saying the network takes the matter very seriously.

Those are some advance techniques.

There is no such thing as bad publicity.

"Dog's Kid Sell Him Out for $15K?"


damn i woulda got more then that

[MetaMan]

His son should be dragged and shot,

Very few people believe in the old school way of watching out for the people closest to you no matter what the circumstances.

What kind of world is it when a father cannot even have a private convo with his son? i dont care how famous he is.

bad times we live in today everyone is out to make a quick buck and leech everyone for every penny possible, people more and more it seems are willing to sell their soul for the almighty dollar.

go figure, i hate to see where this world is at in 20 years, 40years and so on.

[Andy Servers4Less]

Hell yeah Dog's gonna track him down.

how is that not bad publicity when your show gets yanked off a network LOL

get real man

[sltr]

Halfway through its third season, "Dog'"s bite is equal to its bark (and Chapman can bark a lot). It now draws more than 4.2 million viewers an episode, making it the No. 1 cable program in its time period among adults ages 18 to 34 years old, 18 to 49 and 25 to 54. Last April, A&E officials decided to renew "Dog" for a fourth season, a move that all but guarantees syndication for the show and ushers the Chapmans into a financial promised land.

It seems like a world away from the mom-and-pop operation that was teetering on the verge of bankruptcy until Dog tracked down and apprehended Max Factor heir and fugitive Andrew Luster in Mexico. The 2003 tabloid case landed Chapman in a Mexican jail, but, when he was released four days later, he emerged as America's favorite bounty hunter.

"You are a flash in the pan if you get one or two seasons under your belt. You're OK if you have three," says Chapman. "But you're in, bruddah, if you get to four. Five or six seasons and you're making real money. With the TV show, we are finally beginning to turn a profit. I hate to say this, but I was a legend in my own mind. I knew I could make it, but I also knew that I needed something else besides bounty hunting. Wesley is our bookkeeper, and he was like, 'Boss, we aren't making it!' I told him, 'Wesley, we can do it, if we can get a television show.' And, of course, we did. On the other hand, there wouldn't be a television show if it wasn't for Da Kine Bail Bonds."

[minusonebit]

I love how the national enquirer prints this story like using n1gger is a bad thing. Cant anyone even have an unflattering opinion about a black person anymore?

[sltr]

wouldn't be a television show if it wasn't for Da Kine Bail Bonds."

However, what's good for television isn't necessarily good for the bail bond business bottom line. Beth, who runs Da Kine Bail Bonds' operations, has just reviewed their 2005 tax returns and she's pissed. Season two was hard on Da Kine Bail Bonds. The business posted huge losses. Gross revenues, which Beth declined to disclose, were down 60 percent and expenses were through the roof. Every time she gathers her posse together in Honolulu for a hunt, it costs her $1,500. Of course, Mainland hunts cost more.

In 2005, Dog caught between zoo and 250 fugitives, down from the 300 to 500 he caught before the television show started shooting. Approximately half of his bounties were Da Kine clients. This decreased activity has actually been good for business, since Dog doesn't collect on any of his bounties. He considers taking criminals off the streets a public service,

The problem is that the Chapmans just aren't in the office enough. The television show shoots year round, on a three-weeks-on and two weeks off schedule. As a result, in zoos, Beth wrote only 20 bonds a month, a fraction of what she used to write. Of course, when the Chapmans are in the office, they have to deal with the phone and foot traffic.

Season three has had additional challenges. Beth's father, who was integral to the Chapman's Colorado operations, passed away earlier this year. The couple also spent weeks fighting a bill before the state legislature that would have prohibited anyone convicted of an offense in which a dangerous weapon was used from being a bounty hunter. (In 1976, Dog was convicted of felony murder). In addition, the Chapmans are planning a gala wedding on the Big Island in May, and the network will step up Dog's shooting schedule, filming two seasons in one year.

"If you detect a little hostility in my voice when we go out on our hunts, it's because I am," says Beth. "I'm irritated by the fact that we have to spend all this money to hunt this guy down when all he had to do was call us up. Financially, bounty hunting does nothing for business."

imus didnt say n igger 5 times. dog cant say n igger and get away with it. he wont be back. he is just poor white trash anyways

[SykkBoy]

Someone's getting cut the fuck out of the will...

[sltr]

"We're not rich people," says Dog. "Before the show, I didn't have a nice car or a boat. Today, I still don't have a nice car or boat. It's always been about feeding my kids and sending them off to school."

Of course, there is more to Dog Corp. than just the bail bonding business. A&E reportedly paid the Chapmans $2.6 million for season three. It's a sum Dog vehemently denies, but, when asked, Beth breaks out in a sparkling Cheshire Cat smile. "I'm not going to confirm it, but I can't deny it either," she says.

Whatever the amount, Dog says that the couple has poured some of their television money back into their bail-bond business. They've taken over the adjacent space, doubling the size of their downtown office. Beth also plans on hiring three to four more staff and will double the amount of bonds she's written. Even though their shooting schedule will get more hectic, more of the shows will be shot in Hawaii, so the couple will be able to spend more time at home and in the office.

In addition, this year, the Dog line of merchandise will extend beyond T shirts to include toys, a cartoon and video games. The Chapmans are looking into opening a store in Waikiki to sell the goods, which will relieve some of the traffic at their office. With season four a sure thing and five and six looking likely, the Chapmans seem to have successfully minimized their risk, no matter how many bounties they bring in in the future.

"This is a big train and it took a lot to get it moving," says Beth. "We're not at full steam, but we're moving pretty fast."

How about long term goals and fore casts? What happens after season six, if there is a season six?

[sltr]

"I used to think that I wanted to be sheriff someday, but I'm too old for that," says Dog. "Now, politics is looking really good to me. Since I'll be making more money, I won't have to have the people pay my salary. I can just help the people. I can help out with the laws."

his own son fucked him over, thats fucked up

he isnt exactly my fav guy nor do i like TV,

but the guy chases down scum for years, goes across mexico to catch a notorious raper and then he calls someone a "nigga" and suddenly he is a terrible person?

media is ready to chastise anyone famous for ratings, you have your own brain make your own assumptions.

[Babaganoosh]

It was a private conversation. It's not like he pulled a Kramer and said hahahahahaha in a crowded room.

you agreed with me on something, how does it feel? good?

[Vegas Ken]

I heard that conversation, it was not good.

[teg0]

Dog is so fake anyway. Its obvious when you watch his show. He is no different than all the other people who spent time in jail and then get out and act like they are all enlightened because of it. All he did is show his true colors.

i think the implication is more of *idiot*

but he is free to continue bounty hunting as a profession

$15k? If that's true, his son is a complete tool.

[BlackCrayon]

Never heard of his son tucker. could be the reason he sold him out because dog never put him on the show?

[eroswebmaster]

What a little punk.

I said it the first night this shit got posted...I knew that little bastard sold his dad out...once again his mom should have either swallowed or had an abortion.

This kid didn't make this recording to prove to the world how bad his dad's racism was, he did it to make some money.

Enjoy your 30 pieces of Silver Judas...let's hope you experience the same fate

[Satan]

thats just stupid and it was my son he wouldnt be alive right now, maybe thats why they couldnt contact him when they tried calling

[Babaganoosh]

Poor Dad must be ashamed of him. I know I would be.

[SCORE Ralph]

I knew it couldnt be Leeland... had to be the new kid. What a douche.

[tASSy]

shw00f! that blows.

[natas]

it was bad of his son to sell him out I agree.

But the sooner that retarded, white trash, waste of space show is off the TV, the better

[natas]

just found a transcript of the phone call....

Duane "Dog" Chapman: I don't care if she's a Mexican, a whore or whatever. It's not because she's black, it's because we use the word ni**er sometimes here. I'm not gonna take a chance ever in life of losing everything I've worked for for 30 years because some fucking ni**er heard us say ni**er and turned us in to the Enquirer magazine. Our career is over! I'm not taking that chance at all! Never in life! Never! Never! If Lyssa [Dog's daughter] was dating a ni**er, we would all say 'fuck you!' And you know that. If Lyssa brought a black guy home ya da da... it's not that they're black, it's none of that. It's that we use the word ni**er. We don't mean you fucking scum ni**er without a soul. We don't mean that shit. But America would think we mean that. And we're not taking a chance on losing everything we got over a racial slur because our son goes with a girl like that. I can't do that Tucker. You can't expect Gary, Bonnie, Cecily, all them young kids to [garbled] because 'I'm in love for 7 months' - fuck that! So, I'll help you get another job but you can not work here unless you break up with her and she's out of your life. I can't handle that shit. I got 'em in the parking lot trying to record us. I got that girl saying she's gonna wear a recorder...

[Tom_PM]

All dog had to do was not be a rude dumbfuck and he wouldnt have felt the need to force his son to break up with his love.

That's how I read it.

Now what if dog's daddy had told him the same about his current wife? Gee what a sweet guy. Because he says a bad word, he tries to make his son break up with his future daughter in law.

Heck of a job, doggie.

I think asking your kid to break up with their boyfriend / girlfriend because you can't stop yourself from using racial slurs is shitty & selfish as well as lazy. If he can watch his mouth around the cameras he can watch his mouth whenever the girlfriend is around.

But as shitty as that is, I think it's shittier to sell out a family member and possibly ruin their career.

Ya know some people use the word nig ger and are not referring to blacks at all. Just ignorant fools. Seems to be what chapman is saying.

[Fetish Gimp]

I think Dog's hair is just fabulous.

[pussyserver - BANNED FOR LIFE]

I would say this serves as an example to anyone with kids who try to push their racist views on their children.

It?s a new day and teens nowadays are better educated ? more informed and have access to vast wealth of information? in short they are not going for it.

I live in an affluent neighborhood and recently my preteen daughter had a sleep over with a bunch of kids from the neighborhood. One of her friends from a very well of family went on and on about how much she secretly despises her dad for trying to push his racist views on her? she even called him stupid. Her dad never graduated from high school but made a fair amount of money in the fencing business.

It was ironic that this man had told her everything he could in hopes of making her dislike blacks and here she was at our home telling us (a black family) how much she hates him for it. She said for the most part she just nods her head and agrees but can?t wait to get away from him lol


clearly dogs son is pretty smart and set his dumb ole day up

lmao
