WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 31, 2007 09:45 PM EDT UPDATED
Dog the Bounty Hunter star Duane "Dog" Chapman is apologizing for making racist slurs in a phone call to his son that was taped and made public in the National Enquirer.
His show's network, A&E, announced it had halted production on Chapman's show Wednesday after the phone call surfaced. "A&E has just learned of the story released by the National Enquirer concerning Duane Dog Chapman," the network said in a statement to TMZ. "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."
In the tape, Chapman goes on a racist rant while on the phone with his son about his girlfriend, who is black.
Meanwhile, Chapman released the following statement late Wednesday:
"My sincerest, heartfelt apologies go out to every person I have offended for my regrettable use of very inappropriate language. I am deeply disappointed in myself for speaking out of anger to my son and using such a hateful term in a private phone conversation. It was completely taken out of context. I was disappointed in his choice of a friend, not due to her race, but her character. However, I should have never used that term. I have the utmost respect and aloha for black people – who have already suffered so much due to racial discrimination and acts of hatred. I did not mean to add yet another slap in the face to an entire race of people who have brought so many gifts to this world. I am ashamed of myself and I pledge to do whatever I can to repair this damage I have caused.
"In Hawaii, we have something called Ho'oponopono, where people come together to resolve crises and restore peace and balance. I am meeting with my spiritual advisor, Rev. Tim Storey, and hope to meet with other black leaders so they can see who I really am and teach me the right thing to do to make things right, again.
"I know that all of my fans are deeply disappointed in me, as well, as I have tried to be a model for doing the right thing. I did not do the right thing this time, and hope you will forgive me. We learn from our mistakes, as my story of overcoming a life of crime has proven, and I will learn from this one for the rest of my life." " |

sounds like his son needs to man up and tell his Dad to fuck off himself instead of crying to the National Enquirer 10/31/2007 10:16:57 PM
