News about Duane Chapman

The Bounty Hunter joined Brian Laundrie's manhunt after he was arrested for murdering his fiancée Gabby Petito in 2021. In his forthcoming book, Duane Chapman writes that Laundrie's death is'suspect' and points out several "inconsistencies'.

Duane Chapman, now 70, appeared on A&E's Take This Job in August 2003, where he was showcasing his bail bond company. This would be the unofficial pilot for his own TV series Dog the Bounty Hunter, which premiered the following year. However, the performance, which also starred his late wife Beth Chapman, a slew of his 13 children, and some of his fellow bounty hunters crew, was marred with rumors. After a recording of Dog going on a racist tirade was leaked, A&E put the show on hold for three years. He returned to his show, and it will continue to air until 2012. Despite a few attempts at a revival with spinoff series Dog and Beth, Dog's Most Wanted, and Dog Unleashed, he struggled to be on televisions. Ultimately, the reality television star couldn't get out ahead of his slew of scandals ranging from owing millions in taxes to detentions to lawsuits. Now that it has been 20 years since his show first airing, here are the scandals he has been involved in since.

In a recent podcast appearance, dog the Bounty Hunter made a halting effort to walk back some of his threatening remarks against transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney. When dropping by the podcast, Two Guys From Hollywood, Dog (real name: Duane Chapman) retracted some of his earlier comments to the hosts, Alan Nevins and Joey Santos. In an interview earlier this month with Christian ministry founder Sharell Barrera, the 70-year-old reality star sparked controversy.

Since launching a tirade protesting LGBT children and Pride Month, Dog the Bounty hunter is getting backlash, and Gay people are deemed "need to be saved." In an interview with Christian ministry founder Sharell Barrera on Tuesday, Dog, 70, made the remarks in an interview with leading celebrity news outlets TMZ and Page Six to advertise the diatribe as a 'homophobic rant.' As he spoke alongside his wife, Francie Frane, he said, 'Jesus was not a sissy.'

With some surprising news, the Bounty Hunter commemorated his wife Beth's death on Monday. On Monday, the 70-year-old reality star whose daughter died in a fire introduced his new son to his followers. 'This day was a tragic reminder of one of my life's biggest losses,' he said. "But God redeemed this day when I learned that my son Jon, whom I just recently met, was born on this day,' he wrote.

The Bounty Hunter was able to fulfill one of his mother-in-law's dying wishes. Beth Chapman's ashes were buried alongside hers, even though the reality star, 69, is dealing with some legal problems of his own. Bonnie Johann Johannsen wanted to be buried with her daughter, but she died in November at the age of 82, Dog, whose birth name is Duane Chapman, gave some of Beth's ashes to her sister, Melinda, who compared them to Bonnie's.
