Monique Shinnery Allegedly Gave Alcohol to Minors

Tucker Chapman’s girlfriend, Monique Shinnery, was thrown out of a Honolulu club last month for allegedly purchasing drinks for underage patrons. Remember Monique? She is the woman who claims Dog unfairly attacked her character, and the attack was simply racist. Monique even told the National Enquirer that she was going to sue Duane Chapman (Dog) for slander, and refused to accept his apology.
Well, Shinnery was at the 21-and-over club Lulu’s in Honolulu on the night of October 13. According to Honolulu P.D. Detective Eli Walters, who was off duty, and working security that night, Shinnery was asked to leave the club after it was learned she was giving drinks to people under the age of 21. When Walters came over to help remove Shinnery and Chapman from the club, he says that Shinnery immediately began playing the race card, saying the only reason they were being kicked out was that they were an interracial couple.
Walters says that the only reason he ever knew who they were was because Tucker came back later that night to get the full rundown on why they were tossed. In fact, Walters tells us that he gave Tucker his contact info so he could get a book signed by the Dog. He never heard back, probably because Tucker was already planning to betray his father to impress his girlfriend.
Monique is a teacher in a public school. She should not only know better than to buy alcohol for minors, but she should be fired if the allegations are true. I believe Eli Walters when he says Monique bought alcohol for minors. I also believe Dog was right to say the reason he didn’t want his son Tucker with Monique was because she had poor character, and not because she is black. If anyone deserves an apology it’s Dog for being falsely accused of being a racist, when he was only trying to protect his son from himself, and from Monique who is obviously trouble.
Monique Shinnery Plans to sue Duane Chapman

Monique Shinnery tells the National Enquirer she plans to sue Duane Chapman (aka Dog). She says:
"I want justice. He (Dog) has slandered me, stated that I have bad character, and repeatedly lied about me on national television … It’s not even about him using the ’N’ word. It’s about him not wanting a black woman to be part of his family or part of his son’s life."
First, I don’t think Dog said anything that stands the legal test of slander. The legal readers can correct me if I’m wrong. Sticks and stones Monique. Sometimes life isn’t fair.

If his family won’t accept her, and that bothers her so much, then find a new guy with a family that accepts her. Seems to me if she was looking for trouble she came to the right family.

Monique Shinnery Won’t Accept Duane Chapman Apology

Duane Chapman (aka Dog) was facing jail time for a 2003 capture of Max Factor heir Andrew Luster in Mexico, where bounty hunting is a considered a crime. Currently Luster is a 124-year prison sentence for rape in California. He was convicted absentia. A Mexican trial judge threw out all charges against Dog and his associates last August, and after a federal judge reviewed the case he decided Dog will not face extradition, so he’s free at last.
Dog’s oldest son Christopher is defending him, and says his father IS NOT a racist. Click here to see the video.
A&E decided to no longer show re-runs of Dog’s show, in addition to suspending it.
Monique Shinnery, who is African-American, and the girlfriend of Duane "Dog" Chapman’s son Tucker, and the girl who was the subject of conversation in the tape sold to the National Enquirer, says she won’t accept Dog’s apology:
"I think Duane’s apology was pathetic because it was not directed toward us. He didn’t personally call Tucker or me to apologize. His attorney, Brook Hart, did. So, I personally don’t accept it."
Dog doesn’t owe Monique an apology. His feelings towards her haven’t changed, and he doesn’t need to apologize to a son who betrayed him. Monique should be apologizing to Dog and Tucker for having come between a son and his father. Blood is thicker than water, and girlfriends come and go.
The National Enquirer is throwing everything they can get at Dog to smear his name. I wonder if this is a personal vendetta against Dog. Click here to read the latest.
Those making accusations should keep in mind that Dog himself is half indian, which makes him a minority too.
Dog Duane Chapman Racist Phone Call – Audio

The National Enquirer got a hold of two taped phone calls between Duane Chapman, aka Dog, and his son. Dog is concerned that his son is dating a black woman named Monique Shinnery. For nearly eight minutes Dog threatens to fire his son Tucker from the family bail bond business if he does not breakup with that “black girl,” Dog did also say on the tape "it’s not because she’s black." What it sounded like Dog was saying is that he doesn’t want a black girl around, because if she heard them say "nigger," which he said they use that word sometimes, the black girl would take it wrong and tell the Enquirer, and the rest of the world would misunderstand how the family used the word, and their careers would be over. Guess what? He may be right. Dog doesn’t sound racist. It sounds like he uses the word "nigger" the same way blacks do, except without the derogatory meaning. Click here, or here, to listen to part of the first tape, which does not have a date as to when it was made.
After hearing about the tape, A&E issued the following statement:
"A&E has just learned of the story released by the National Enquirer concerning Duane Dog Chapman. We take this matter very seriously. Pending an investigation, we have suspended production on the series. When the inquiry is concluded we will take appropriate action."
A&E Suspended Production on Dog the Bounty Hunter, which means Dog might be fired, or at least indefinitely suspended.
Dog asked to have dialog with Rear End Al Sharpton regarding the tapes, and good old Al issued this response:
Reverend Al Sharpton’s National Action Network and the organization’s Decency Initiative are unequivocally against the use of the "N" word in any context. While people have the freedom to express themselves in any matter in private, when those private conversations become public, it becomes our responsibility to state, as we always have, that we condemn the use of this word as racist and derogatory. Dog the Bounty Hunter has reached out to Reverend Sharpton who is traveling to promote his March on the U.S. Justice Department on November 16th against Hate Crimes and Racial Attacks and therefore Rev. Sharpton has not had a chance to hear the audio of the remarks. However, until he does hear the audio, National Action Network maintains that is against the use of the "N" word.
Dog is now referring all phone calls to his Pastor Tim. Pastor Tim Storey, an African-American, said he spoke with Dog, who cried for 30 minutes, saying:
"I’m shocked, I’m wrong I repent. Can you believe, Tim, that I’m going to be put in the same category as Imus."
Pastor Storey, who performed Dog and Beth’s wedding ceremony, went on to say:
"I was shocked, because I don’t know that to be Duane." He went on, "I felt that he had to be accountable to what he said. When I asked him what took place, why he said it, he said that he was angry with his son about many things. The subject of his son’s girlfriend came up, and in his anger he then attacked that relationship and then therefore challenged the girl by saying she wasn’t good enough. What shocked me was that he used the N word. I know he’s not a racist. He’s been to black churches with me to help inner-city kids. I talked to Dog three times today and he apologized, saying he wasn’t angry at the girl, it was anger toward his son."
It’s not that the girl is black, it’s just that she’s not good enough to be with a Dog’s son, and because the word "nigger" has a different meaning for her than it does for Dog’s family. It appears Tucker recorded conversations with his father, and turned those tapes over to the National Enquirer, which is the ultimate betrayal. With holidays just around the corner, Tucker is going to be awfully lonely.
