Duane Chapman is better known as Dog the Bounty Hunter. He had a show by the same name which aired for 8 seasons.
Now, his personal feelings and actions are being called into question by his daughters Bonnie and Cecily who are half-sisters. The drama, at least publicly, started when Bonnie and Cecily weren’t invited to their father’s wedding to Francie Frane.
Bonnie’s mother and her father’s long-time wife, Beth, was diagnosed with throat cancer in 2017 and later lost her battle with the disease in 2019. She was 51 years old when she died.
Two years later, Dog got married to Francie, but the couple didn’t invite Bonnie and Cecily to the wedding. After spilling that news to TMZ, Bonnie also took to social media to bash her father and reveal a lot of personal information she claims she had been keeping secret because “I wanted a relationship with my dad.”
Now, Bonnie claims that her father cheated on her mother “all the time.” She claimed that despite her mother’s efforts to make her father “the best man he could be. All too often, that job consisted of dealing with his near-constant infidelity with her friends and strangers.”
In addition to being unfaithful, Bonnie also claims that her father is racist and homophobic. She believes the reason she wasn’t invited to her father’s wedding is because he’s mad that his daughter continues to be involved with a show called “The System” that airs on a streaming service called UnleashedTV, a streaming service she says he was fired from. She wrote that he was fired “for using racial and homophobic epithets toward my fellow cast members on the show, which is about social justice advocacy and protesting violence and racial bias by police. I have expressed time and time again my ever-growing disappointment in my father’s progression into his old racist ways.”
As far as being homophobic, Bonnie claims that he used “horrific epithets” towards LGBTQ+ people, and she also slammed him for associating with pastor Greg Locke.
Dog and Francie claim that Bonnie and Cecily have been “groomed by disgruntled former associates” who are simply trying to ruin his reputation and “derail our wedding.” They claim everything Bonnie is saying is completely false.
Another one of Dog’s daugthers, Bonnie’s half-sister Lyssa Chapman, also claims that Bonnie and Cecily are lying. On Twitter, Lyssa wrote, “Bonnie and Cecily are loved by our family and we are heartbroken that bad people are using them to get revenge on Dad. Dad is not a racist and not homophobic. He loves all people.”
