Duane "Dog" Chapman's lawyer has come forward to confirm that it was his son, Tucker Chapman, who released the tape and sold it to the National Enquirer. The tape was recorded during an argument the father and son had because Dog wanted his son to break up with his girlfriend of seven months because he didn't want to change his vocabulary for the better and stop using the n-word. He was afraid she would hear him or one of his kids or family members say the word and she would get upset and turn to the National Enquirer.

Instead of his girlfriend turning over the tape, it was Tucker, Dog's own son. Dog's lawyer, Brook Hart, states that Tucker did it out of anger about the situation.

Hell yeah he did it out of anger! I mean, if your parent, who used a derogatory word to refer to a race so frequently that he wanted you to dump your girlfriend because she might get offended or he would disown you, then that would piss me off too.

I love the hypocrisy of the situation. All of this backpedalling by Dog by saying that he has black friends and respect and love for all black people. If he had respect and love for all black people, he wouldn't use the n-word so much that his children frequently use it and want your son to break up with his girlfriend because of her race. He wouldn't use the n-word in reference to black people, period. I hate people that say it's just a word. No, it's not, and if you need reasons as to why it isn't, then you need to go back to school.

Meanwhile, Yum Brands Inc. has pulled advertising from Dog's show, Dog the Bounty Hunter. It's list of advertisers includes Taco Bell, KFC and Pizza Hut. Good. I love me some Taco Bell and I'm glad the company isn't going to tolerate racist remakes like the ones Dog has made.
