This has not been a very good couple of years for Duane "Dog" Chapman, the TV bounty hunter who has a popular TV show on the A&E network ("Dog the Bounty Hunter").
Mexico arranged for Dog to be arrested due to his hunting down a wanted criminal on Mexican soil in 2003, in violation of Mexican law. With days to go before a statute of limitations expired in the case, U.S. federal marshals arrested Dog in Hawaii in 2006, and a court battle ensued for the extradition of Dog to Mexico.
The Mexican government eventually changed it's mind about prosecuting Dog in 2007, and settled for an assurance that Dog wouldn't engage in bounty hunting on Mexican territory ever again.
Dog had numerous appearances on CNN, Fox News and other media outlets over the last year, following his arrest. Life seemed to be back on track.
Then, a couple of days ago, the National Enquirer posted an audio of a racially charged tirade (WARNING: OFFENSIVE LANGUAGE) by Dog against the African-American girlfriend of his son. Dog has started the apology "process" while A&E has stopped production of Dog's bounty hunting reality show, pending an investigation.
What is it with these celebrities self-destructing like this??!
