Bounty Hunter "Dog" still loves son who sold him out
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Celebrity bounty hunter Duane "Dog" Chapman, whose reality TV show has been pulled from the air indefinitely after he used a racial slur, says he stilCable channel A&E took the popular show, "Dog the Bounty Hunter," off its schedule for the foreseeable future after a private phone call in which Chapman used an offensive term to describe his son's black girlfriend hit the Internet.
Chapman said his son, Tucker Chapman, had sold the tape of the conversation that dates back to March to The National Enquirer but he did not know why.
"He will not talk to me," said Chapman, who has 12 children and has been married five times.
"His mother's in on it with him. I have been away from her since the '80s so now she is like getting even," he told the Larry King Live show on CNN on Wednesday night.
A teary Chapman, who has apologized repeatedly since the tape was made public and promised to make amends, said he had used the epithet "nigger" on a heated call with his son while admitting he was probably interfering in his life.
Chapman said Tucker had been sent to prison at the age of 18 and served four years of a 20 year sentence for armed robbery before being released on parole.
"I tried to take control of his life (after this)," said Chapman, himself an ex-con. "I heard this girl was maybe not being the best for Tucker -- and I'll leave it like that -- so I tried to interfere.
"I don't care if she is black at all. He's on parole for a 20 year sentence and if he messes up he goes back."
Honolulu-based Chapman, 54, who says he is a devout Christian, made no comment on reports that his son sold the tape for $15,000.
"All I want him to know is that I love him very much," he said.
A&E has said no decision has been made to cancel the program, which is shown in more than 10 countries, and the network will review the situation again later this month.
Chapman, with his trademark scraggly long blond hair and leather wardrobe, rose to fame after his 2003 tracking and capture of Max Factor heir and serial rapist Andrew Luster in Mexico.

People have been using the "n" word for many generations and each generation it has a different connotation/meaning to the word. I personally can't get it out of my lips to say like the band name "N---ras with attitude-NWA" whom my nephew loves. That's my generation. Anyway, Thanksgiving eve my Dad said that same "n" word here in ID at the table and not one person (all college graduates) even blinked twice because we all know it is part of Dad's vernacular whether we like it or not. Dad is 70+ and he also uses words like Jap, Gook--he was in the Korean War and if you all will look up the history of the US's print propaganda campaigns about 'getting the Japs" it is ultimately just a word ike Guinea (we are Itlaian and it doesn't upset us when people call us that--whatever). Get over it already about Chapman using the "n" word. I have never seen anyone in his program be treated unfairly regardless of the circumstances. Tucker has serious issues with his Dad and this matter should be handled between the two of them privately.
