Duane “Dog” Chapman’s show, Dog the Bounty Hunter, has been pulled by A&E after his son, Tucker Chapman, leaked a recording of Dog ranting about Tucker’s relationship with his black girlfriend in which Dog used the N word repeatedly. Of course, Dog announced through his lawyers that he is a devout Christian and some of his best busts have been blacks. Needless to say, we can enjoy his rant on YouTube.
A reality TV show starring celebrity bounty hunter Duane "Dog" Chapman was pulled from the air indefinitely on Friday, two days after a private phone conversation in which he used a racial slur was posted online.
"In evaluating the circumstances of the last few days, A&E has decided to take 'Dog The Bounty Hunter' off the network's schedule for the foreseeable future," an A&E spokesman said.
"We hope that Mr. Chapman continues the healing process that he has begun."
Chapman's lawyer was quoted in various media reports on Friday as saying that the conversation posted on The National Enquirer tabloid's Web site had been leaked by Tucker Chapman -- one of the crime-fighter's 12 children.
