Duane Chapman is better known by his stage name, Dog the Bounty Hunter, and he starred in an eponymous TV series for eight seasons. Bonnie and Cecily, his half-siblings, have questioned his behavior, though, and he has two children.
This scandal started because they weren’t allowed to be part of their father’s marriage to Francie Frane, which created controversy. It should be noted that Beth, Bonnie’s mother and Chapman’s longtime wife, was diagnosed with throat cancer in 2017 and passed away from the condition in 2019 at the age of 51.
Two years later, Bonnie and Cecily were left out of Francie and Dog’s wedding because they had not received invitations. As soon as Bonnie revealed this information to TMZ, she vented her frustrations online and revealed details she had previously kept private because “I hoped to maintain a relationship with my father.”. ”.
Bonnie says that despite Beth’s efforts to make her father “the best man he could be,” he frequently cheated on her mother. She asserted that Beth frequently had to deal with his numerous affairs, including liaisons with both friends and complete strangers.
Bonnie says that in addition to being an adulterer, her father has racist and homophobic views. She thinks that his refusal to let her attend his wedding is a result of his resentment over her continued participation in “The System,” a program on the UnleashedTV streaming service.
According to her, her father was fired from the same business for making derogatory remarks about his coworkers, including racial and homophobic slurs. Promoting social justice and condemning bigotry and police brutality are the main themes of “The System.”.
Bonnie has often expressed her disappointment in her father’s relapse into prejudice.
In response to accusations of homophobia, Bonnie claims that her father used “horrific slurs” against members of the LGBTQ+ community. She also rebuked him for having ties to Pastor Greg Locke.
Contrarily, Dog and Francie assert that Bonnie and Cecily have been swayed by individuals who have a grudge against him and are attempting to “sabotage our wedding.”. They insist that everything Bonnie said was false.
Another of Dog’s children and Bonnie’s half-sister Lyssa Chapman disputes Bonnie and Cecily’s assertions. According to a tweet from Lyssa, her family loves Bonnie and Cecily and is horrified that they are being used as bargaining chips by dishonest actors to get even with their father. Lyssa emphasized that her father loves everyone and is neither homophobic nor racial.
