'Utterly Repulsive': Dog the Bounty Hunter Ripped Apart by Daughter for His 'Abhorrent' Anti-LGBTQ+ Comments
Dog the Bounty Hunter's estranged daughter Bonnie Champan is outraged by the remarks he made about transgender star Dylan Mulvaney and the LGBTQ+ community during an interview with online Christian ministry founder Sharell Barrera.
"The comments made by Duane Chapman reflect prehistoric beliefs and do not align with true Christian values. Jesus loves everyone and would strongly denounce this non-accepting rhetoric," she wrote in an Instagram message on Wednesday, July 12, the day after his chat. "It is utterly repulsive to advocate violence against our transgender community, and it is equally repulsive to invoke Jesus' name in vain to support such views."
She also lashed out at the reality star, 70, for the "abhorrent" things he said about daughter Lyssa Chapman, who is married to a woman.
"I have personally apologized to my sister, Lyssa, for our father's words, and I extend that apology publicly as well. Despite our differences, I am deeply sorry that our father publicly disrespected you and your relationship," she expressed. "These comments are precisely why I distanced myself, as hearing them in our family home from my now stepmother was the breaking point."
