Dog Dissed by Chris Just a Few Months Back

In a conversation with TMZ, Christopher Hecht vigorously defended his dad, Duane "Dog" Chapman, against charges of racism. But just a few months ago, Chris was barking about the Dog, and it wasn't too kind.

Hecht called in to the Lewis and Floorwax show on Denver's 103.5 FM The Fox back in June, and made some serious allegations about Dog, mainly relating to drug use. "He knows I know the secrets," said Chris. "I'll put him in check."

But today, in his exclusive sit-down with TMZ, Hecht was singing a different tune, telling us that his father "is not this monster that people think" and explaining what happened between Dog and his younger brother. What's more, Chris, who served prison time, admitted that he had been previously paid by the National Enquirer interview.

16. I guess some of the family is worried that their sugar daddy might not be able to bring home as much candy anymore.

17. I feel bad for the Dog. It's disgusting that his own kids sell him out to make some quick cash. Get a damn job and worry about your own life before you destroy someone elses.
A&E needs to put Dog back on soon!!!!!

18. Dumb dog is getting exactly what he deserves. Anyone that uses the N word, no matter if they are white OR black, is nothing more than stupid, filthy garbage, period. Hopefully A&E will cancel his show, and he will fade into racist trash oblivion. If dog's kids are coming out against him, good. It just proves that he raised them to be two faced garbage just like he is.

20. Dog did one hell of a job raising his demon seeds. Jail, drugs, incest. What the h*ll kind of a man is he? Married 5 times, felony, robbery, racism, lies, manipulates, plants his demon seed where ever any ho will spread her legs. Nobody should use the "n" word ever, ecspecially white trash hypocrites.

22. I was really starting to like the Dog the Bounty Hunter show. However this man and his whole family it seems, are nothing but rascist poor white trash. The only way to make myself heard is to not watch the show if it ever reappears and not buy the products of the sponsors. The people who want A & E to put the show back on, "What are you 12 years old?" Grow up. Stand for something. By the way I have watched and listened to Imus for years and I don't think he's a rascist. His sense of humor is suspect and he stepped over the line. But how can you compare these 2 guys???? Dog is waaaaay out of bounds for any self respecting audience. Too bad. He was a hoot. Janice

23. K-ya'll dont hate me now. What he did IS/WAS wrong. I've NEVER allowed my kids to say the N-word, F-word, (either one) But why is it ok for African-Americans to call eachother that? I have a problem with that word period, no matter WHO'S mouth it comes out of!
Dog, we miss ya Bra! Aloha.

24. For what it's worth kids, the lowdown on the lovely Beth:

On 1-10-02 charges were filed against Beth Smith, a/k/a Alice E. Barmore, in the Jefferson County Court (case number 2002CR000080) for Extortion-Unlawful Act (2 counts), False Imprisonment (2 counts), Forgery-Check/Commercial Instrument and Obstructing Government Operations. Her co-defendant, Mary Angell, was also charged with the same complaints except for the obstruction charge and had an additional charge of Forgery 2.

All charges on Ms. Barmore were dismissed by the DA except for obstructing government operations (misdemeanor); she pled guilty and received a fine of $750.00 plus court costs and a $25.00 fee for to make the fine in installment payments. It is rumored part of the agreement with the DA was she would surrender her bail license in Colorado, much to the relief of real bail agents with whom she always argued with, swore at and threatened. She is perhaps the most despised person in the bail industry.

The charges against Ms. Angell were dismissed except for Forgery 2. She received a sentence of court fees and related costs totaling $155.00, one (1) year suspended jail sentence and fifty (50) hours of community service. It has been suggested she also had her bail license suspended for one year but that is unverified. She is infamous for threatening law suits but she fails to recognize there is no law suit when facts are recorded and shared with the media. Besides, there are many in the field that would love to file a counter suit against that, er… woman. Think the media would exploit that aspect? They sure would!

Barmore has appeared in the Denver County Court in years 1994, 1996, 1998 and 1999 facing charges of Assault (two times), Disturbing The Peace, Threats To Person/Property and Disobedience to Lane Assignment.

The investigation is continuing.

25. Before anyone judges the Dog, they should all take a long look in the mirror. None of us are perfect, therefore we do not have the right to judge anyone else. It doesn't matter that he is a public figure, he is human, and we all say things we really shouldn't. I support the Dog 100%, and wish nothing but the best for him and his family..

29. What a piece of trash. Like Father, like son. Especially the bastard son. He soldout his own dad for a little cash that will last him less than a month and a %*&k bit%# that strung him along. For shame little dog or should I say "bra". Go Dog I hope you get you show back so you can put all those small timers away. Oh yeah, and get free ice along the way to support you and your ugly trailer park wife. Mahalo!

30. dog is an ex-con that made something of himself. i don't think he is a racist, he just got caught in the heat of the moment. also keep in mind that he made it this far and he is still trying to be this big celebrity and slip his words. i wish A & E will repay him back for the money dog made for them and resume productions again. God bless you dog and your family and lets pray that your show will continue airing again because there is nothing better to watch on A & E. well, American Justice and Cold Case that is all.
