Bounty Hunter grants first post scandal interview to Fox

November 7th, 2007

Dog Chapman appeared on Hannity and Colmes last night on Fox in which he gave a teary apology and appeared with his African American pastor Tim Storey. The 8 month old private conversation which was sold by his paroled son, Tucker to rag mag site The National Enquirer for a rumored $15,000 contained an angry Dog using racial slurs. When asked what could motivate a son to turn on his father for such a thing, Chapman speculated it could’ve been drug motivated. Chapman also saw his son’s girlfriend for the first time in an interview she granted the National Inquirer website. He cried as he watched it and said she was a cute little girl and said “I’m so sorry honey.”

Chapman was blasted by his pastor who said he was shocked when he heard the tape and angry and came at him with that energy but knew that wasn’t the man he knew. The bounty hunter said whatever he needs to do to make this right, he’ll do. He’s trying to formulate a plan but needs direction. He said he knows he’ll never be forgiven and probably doesn’t deserve to be. In regards to his high rated A&E show Dog the Bounty Hunter, Chapman says when they call he tells his wife to tell them he’s “in the bathroom” because he’s scared to talk to them.

So far A&E has halted production of the current season and has pulled the show from it’s programming schedule but has stopped short of a full blown cancellation. Many are speculating the imminent cancellation of the show since the Dog the Bounty Hunter box set that contains 4 discs has been slashed to $20 and has been selling like hotcakes on Amazon.com.

Time will tell if Dog can do enough to make people believe he is truly sorry, has learned his lesson and can be forgiven.
