Son Says "Dog The Bounty Hunter is a Crack-Smoking Tyrant"

[ariesgem]

Dog "The Bounty Hunter" Chapman's son has spilled the beans on his father to The National Enquirer and it isn't pretty. Dog's oldest son Christopher, 34, says "The Dog that people see on TV is nothing like he is in real life. He's a monster - a violent, racist tyrant who smokes crack."

Chris goes on to say that his father introduced him to smoking crack and eventually crystal meth. He says "It turns my stomach to see him lecture people on not using drugs when he's the biggest drug user I ever saw. When he woke up after a crack binge he'd get violent with Beth and me and the other kids. The violence in that house was incredible - like a hillbilly trailer park." Chris also claims his father is a bigot who hates blacks and gays.

-----------------------

I know he makes no bones about the fact that he used to be an addict and using but it's hard to believe he still is although it can't be ruled out....

[idgiehkt]

9. now I am really confused

according to wikipedia the oldest son that is saying all this was put up for adoption. He was also born in '69 which makes him 37 or 38, not 34. There is no reason for him to ever have lived with Beth, I think Beth is his fifth wife. It is hard to follow the article because damn, the man got married alot and had a lot of kids but wow.

[Drum]

2. ...

:popcorn:

[Haole Girl]

3. Any other sources besides "The National Enquirer"?

I mean, I don't really consider that reliable. But, hey, that's just me.

[RebelOne]

17. I would definitely not take anything from the National Enquirer seriously. n/t

[Decruiter]

4. Ur breaking my heart

Kid, your dad has done so much good, I don't know if even crack addiction can keep me from lovin The Dog.

[Mojambo]

5. I could see it. n/t

[Richard Steele]

6. Gee, what a shock.

:sarcasm:

[Decruiter]

7. Coming from Mrs. D. Wow, why am I so not surprised at all. No self

respecting bonds man would ever do what this guy has done.

Nothing ever rang true, any time I ever had to watch the disaster in progress.

But hey, everyone, Paris isn't hot anymore, let's move on, shall we. We've got some other "celebrity", to consume ourselves with, right?

Bless "Dog's" very large heart. I'm sure after a couple of weeks in a special rehab place they will have a whole new season to provide.

[Matsubara]

10. Why is this not even slightly surprising?

Far be it from me judge by appearances, but they really, really, REALLY look and act like meth users.


The racism isn't surprising, either - their whole fashion sense screams white supremacist IMO.

Who the hell dresses like this?

[VenusRising]

11. Someone honoring their Native American heritage

while still taking criminals off the street with no use of guns.

[Matsubara]

12. A bleached blonde mullet with some trinkets hanging off it...

...is "honoring Native American heritage"?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duane_Chapman

"In one episode, (Episode "Year of the Dog") he claims to be of Native American ancestry, from his mother's side."

A lot of people make that claim, with little or no evidence. Who knows, who cares?

You would think a person in touch with the trials and tribulations of Native Americans wouldn't be a raving racist.



As for taking criminals off the street - he's a bounty hunter - he's not doing it out of civic duty.


Maybe the son is a liar. Maybe we should believe "Dog". After all, he's a bounty hunter with a reality show - he must be on the level.

[VenusRising]

13. Maybe in his way it is.

He doesn't seem like the brightest bulb in the box. If that's how he feels his heritage is best represented by him, whatever that heritage may be, it's no one's business. In his view, he's honoring his heritage. People have looked weirder in the name of heritage than Dog.

Everyone has a right to make a living. He makes his money as a bounty hunter. That doesn't mean that he's not doing a civic duty by taking a lot of convicted criminals off the street.

I don't agree with everything about Dog. I don't know anything about him being racist, but if he is I don't like it one bit.

But there are some things really worth not liking him over like his picture of GW in his office. Now that's something to criticize him for!

:hi:

[Matsubara]

14. Didn't know about his pic.

I don't think he looks "weird" per se. He just looks like a lot of pretty racist country guys I've known - he's just a bit more flamboyant because he has a few bucks.

Bush-lover, huh? :puke:

[VenusRising]

16. I won't deny money and fame can make people

weird eccentric.

I think a lot of it comes from his biker days as the Sgt-at-Arms. I heard him talk about it on the Montel Williams show of all places.

Yeah, Bush lover. Although, not so much lately because of the extradition case. I was flipping channels and caught him bad-mouthing Gonzo and the administration. It's all self-serving reasons to bad mouth them, but I'll take it if it turns a few more from red to blue.

Edited to add....I know waaaaay too much about Dog. *hangs head*

[ellisonz]

15. The National Enquirer...ahahahaha hahahahahahah ahahahahahahahahahah.
