Duane Chapman Betrayed
Posted on November 2, 2007 at 8:07 am (PST)
The lawyer for Duane Chapman (Dog) confirms his son, Tucker, was the person who sold taped phone calls to the National Enquirer, for "a lot of money." The exact amount is $15,000. Two days ago I said:
"It appears Tucker recorded conversations with his father, and turned those tapes over to the National Enquirer, which is the ultimate betrayal."
In most states it is illegal to tape someone else without their permission, and might elevate to a crime if that tape is "sold" to a tabloid. Maybe some of our legal readers can shed some light on this area of the law.
Tucker set his own father up over a girl. Family comes first Tucker. He’s going to be lonely this holiday season. So far 91% of HG readers say they don’t think Dog is a racist. See the poll here.

I listened to the entire recording and Dog does not sound like a racist at all.

Dog is not a racist. I can’t believe his own son would betray him that is horrible. Dog has done many bad things but he has also done a lot of good things to

His son Tucker is already a grown man. Dog over-stepped his bounds by having a say who his son can, or cannot date, and his son is no longer a child.If any thing his father should have been supportive and accept who-ever his son chose to date or marry, regardless of race or nationality thst she is.Dog, if anything should have respect towards his son,and his decisions who he chooses as a mate.

This is high irony. All he is worried about is that he will be set up by the woman in question (who has apparently already done something to set off Dog’s alarm bells) and busted for using the N-word. And he does not tell hos som who to date, he tells his son he cannot work for him as long as he is bringing unreliable people into their sphere. What his son hoped to accomplish by busting his dad is unclear. The whole thing smells like a witchhunt. The son’s actions are truly unspeakable. As rappers have proven, using the N-word does not a priori make on a racist.

Dog & Beth are obviously not racists. They show the same compassion to everyone. He used this word in a private conversation and he even said if it ever got out it would be misunderstood as being derogatory when he (/Beth) don’t mean it that way. Now anyone can SAY they don’t mean something “in a bad way” but we SEE they aren’t racist by their actions. And actions DO speak louder than words. Dog has done so much good, and continues to, for ALL races. The only thing I’ll say is that instead of “worrying who might hear” they should have just cut it from their vocabulary, KNOWING it would be misunderstood and what was at stake. But Tucker gets the worst person award. What a loser.

I don’t think Mr. Chapman is a racist.
He may want to pare down his vocabulary.
In the context he used the word he was not actively trying to be hateful, spiteful, or hurtful.
Apparently there is a backround context of mistrust and threats to his wife. He was trying to protect his family and family business.
I think the person deserving shame is Tucker.
Monique deserves better than a vindictive rat or maybe they are two peas in a pod?

Do would not have used those comments if he wasn’t a racist. I was a big fan! Didn’t miss one show! I actually feel betrayed cause I looked up to Dog. Now I hope they send him back to a prison in Mexico so Hector can get that, well you know!

I feel that Duane Chapman should’ve thought twice
before he acted. Judging someone by their race isn’t fair and as forgiving him I’m not sure yet. Lisa Weiner.
