Meltdowns
Quiet Dog Back in L.A.

Still in the dog house for his liberal use of the N word in a taped phone call with his son Tucker, potty-mouthed "Bounty Hunter" Duane Chapman had little to say on arrival at LAX this morning.


With wife Beth in tow, the gold-chain-wearing ex-con and father of nine (!) revealed only that he has not made up with his young pup -- who allegedly recorded the verbal assault on his girlfriend, Monique Shinnery. Shocker.

Perhaps Dog will have more to share during his appearance on Fox News Channel's "Hannity and Colmes" tonight, or on "Larry King Live," this Wednesday on CNN.

91. I am glad that Dog is breaking his silence by being on LKL and on the news show. I look forward to hearing what he has to say. I'm not sure if Dog's son and his girlfriend deserve forgiveness. I believe the girlfriend knew what Dog's son was doing and planned and did not prevent it. The show was pulled temporarily because some sponsors withdrew, but my feeling is that it will be back on sooner or later. The reason I believe this is that, although what Dog said in his telephone conversation with his son was racist, it was not done by him with the intention of it being all over tv and in National Enquirer, he was yelling at his son on the phone in anger and using very unspeakably language. So now, EVERYONE has heard it and is talking about it. I know some people in show business, it depends on what part of show business you are in as to whether you do or say things HOPING people will notice and report it, or avoid the press like crazy, hoping no one knows anything about your private life. I will say this, I do not condone what happened, but the man that Dog the Bounty Hunter is and has been most of his life, is not your typical person, whether he is on tv or not. His life is and has been unique, even though fame and fortune come to some people, they remain the same people in a lot of ways, who wouldn't. I enjoy his program, I would watch it again, the ratings would be sky high, everyone would want to tune in and see how Dog handles the whole thing after this happened.

92. WTF?! Is this no longer a free country? If someone wants to use a racial ephitat in a private phone conversation -so what.The natural reprecussion of saying things people don't like is that then people don't like YOU - but what's with this desite to censor people? The other thing is, Dog Chapman has done more to help try and motivate young black people than 99% of rappers & disgusting pimps like Al Sharpton. Do any of you even know about Dog's social givings? When someone uses a deragotory term towards me , I don't automatically get offended - I think to myself "is that me? does that fit me?" and if it doesn't, than who gives a f!@# what that person thinks. If you're not an n-word, then he wasn't talking to you.

93. this phone call should have never been sold and the fact that it was after it was taped illegally is nonsense -- its immoral and unethical for them to even post it -- and how much did his kid get for taking down his Dad? hope it was worth it

if you listen to it for real - yeah he uses the n word alot but people are kidding themselves to think that alot of people dont use that word -- get a life people

i dont see why it has to completely ruin someones life to have a private phone conversation that no one should have ever heard in the first place

96. You rock, #93! What ever happened to personal, private conversations. I would love tTMZ to air some 'non-racist' conversations someday.

97. Tucker Chapman and Monique Shinnery can kiss my white *ss. It doesn't matter what color your skin is, if you act like a *igger, then you are one. If you don't act like that, then I don't thing Dog was referring to you. These days, the word *igger refers to ANYONE who behaves like a stupid piece of trash, not just blacks.

98. Do you people not see the whole thing was a set up for Tucker to earn some money. Just out of jail what better way to to to make some quick cash. I feel for you Dog and the reast of the family as well. You are in my prayers. It is unbeliveable to me how stupid this world is open your eyes people-hell is at your door you could be next.

99. Trailer Park Chapman's driver should've dropped his ass off in the hood so he could feel what it's like to be beaten down by a bunch of "n's" as he calls Black people.

100. INCREDIBLY NAIVE!!

MOst of you in support of this guy are just CLUELESS.

HE WAS IN A RACIST BIKER GANG

HE WAS CONVICTED BY A JURY OF HIS PEERS FOR ACCESSORY TO MURDER!!

OF A BLACK MAN HE STOOD WATCH WHILE HIS BUDDIES KILLED A BLACK MAN...

Yeah and now this...and you idiots say "I forgive you" bla bla bla..free speech I'm ALL FOR IT. But he got caught for the RACIST P.O.S. he is PERIOD.

No spin can fix his LOOOOOOONG rap sheet and problems with substance abuse.

IF HE WAS NOT USING DOPE -----HE WOULD VOLUNTARILY TAKE A DRUG TEST TO QUELL THE CONSTANT RUMORS THAT KEEP MAKING IT INTO PRINT!!!!

Man you people are gullible....

101. Tucker:

Blood is thicker than that black chick's big lips, even though I am sure you love them wrapped around your teeny weenie. You're no civil rights leader, you fraud. You did this to get back at your father after he picked your loser butt up off the ground and gave you a job. Now, you have managed to poop in your own nest, you moron.

Do you think Monique will still be servicing you when the $15K is gone? I hope your father never speaks to you again, you traitor hick. You are a phony fraud who doesn't really give a crap about race relations. In this instance, Tucker, YOU are the *igger.

103. Matt:

Thank you for showing your stupidity to the whole world. BET is owned by Viacom, the same entity that owns MTV. I've NEVER, in all of my years of watching BET, seen anyone on BET call white people crackers, honkeys or otherwise. What I have seen is a series of wack, white comedians trying to get their shine on on Comic View. Take that BS to HBO.

There would be no need for BET, MTV Tres or anything remotely "ethnic" if tv, film and other media outlets would hire BLACK, LATINO and ASIAN writers to properly relay that race's experiences so we as so-called "minorities" can be properly represented.

White people complain about Black people and the images broadcast of Black people, and they stereotype us based on those images, but white people are the ones who are responsible for those broadcasts.

Knowledge is king!

104. Read #85. Right on the money. Call a spade a spade - - you go, girl!

105. Chapman finds himself in a real problem now. Every convict and/or bailjumper is going to claim that he was verbally abused by chapman, and was hit with racial slurs. They want to strike back at the person that captures them, and in their mind this is a way to do it with dog; it's how the convict mind thinks. It's a real chink in his armor, and he's now going to have to face bogus civil rights lawsuits. He's in for a real tough time from this point forward...
