Tucker Dee Chapman’s 2007 Incident
One of the children of Duane, Tucker, was involved in a significant incident in the year of 2007 as he brought down his father. Yes, that father which paroled him out of a 20 years sentence in four years. You might be wondering what exactly happened?
Well, Tucker got mad at his dad for bad-mouthing his girlfriend. Tucker, at that time, was in a relationship with an African-American girl, but Duane was against their relationship. While in an argument with his son, Duane referred to Tucker’s girlfriend as ‘Ni***r,’ which is a racial discriminatory-term.
Tucker recorded the argument in secret, which he sold to National Enquirer. Yup, not given sold, Tucker probably just wanted to stop living under the shadow of his father, and this was the chance. A means to distance himself from the family and to get a starting fund for his new life.
Tucker sold the tape for $1,500, and as a reality TV star, Duane got in a lot of trouble because of this. Duane is a public influencer, and his being discriminatory wasn’t liked by many. Dog the Bounty Hutner, Duane’s show even got canceled indefinitely.
Even after all the debacle, Duane, during a press conference, said he still loved his son despite Tucker’s action. Duane went on to clarify; he was against Tucker’s girlfriend due to her race but her behavior and personality. He said,
“I heard this girl was maybe not being the best for Tucker — and I’ll leave it like that — so I tried to interfere.
I don’t care if she is black at all. He’s on parole for a 20 year sentence and if he messes up he goes back.”
Tucker moved out of the spotlight after this incident, what would you consider this, a betrayal or revenge? A betrayal on his loving father or attack on his girlfriend’s honor?
