Dog, a friend and son Leland


The National Enquirer has gotten their hands on an audio tape of Duane Chapman, a.k.a. Dog the Bounty Hunter erupting in a racist rant during a phone call to his son, Tucker.

During the call, Dog tells his son that he must break up with his girlfriend because she is black and that sometimes they use the word ‘n***er’ and she might take offense to it and set him up. Well, that’s pretty much what happened.

Dog threatened Tucker’s job as a bail bondsman if he did not dump his girlfriend. He goes on to say, “it’s not because she’s black. . .it’s because we use he word n***er sometimes here.” But then he completely contradicts his point by saying moments later, “If Lyssa [his daughter] was dating a n***er we would all say F*ck You. . .and you know that.”

I’ve since heard that A&E has halted the production of his reality show ‘Dog the Bounty Hunter’ and that Civil Rights leaders have called for the show to be canceled.

(I have a phone call in to A&E as we speak and am awaiting a return phone call. I’ll be able to tell you more then…if they call back.)

Until then listen to the audio tape here.

Update: It seems A&E isn’t returning phone calls, but they have released the following statement:

A&E has just learned of the story released by the National Enquirer concerning Duane Dog Chapman. We take this matter very seriously. Pending an investigation, we have suspended production on the series. When the inquiry is concluded we will take appropriate action.”
