Another “celebrity” is under fire for using the N-Word. According to audio tapes exclusively released by the National Enquirer, A&E reality star Duane “Dog” Chapman was caught on tape using racial slurs.
The Enquirer says they have two tapes of the Dog hurling insults at his son, Tucker, during an undated telephone conversation. It appears as if the Dog is concerned that Tucker’s girlfriend, Monique Shinnery, who is black, will set him up because of the language the Dog uses.
In the nearly eight minute long tape posted on the Enquirer’s website, Dog says the N word numerous times and demands that Tucker break up with Monique or he’ll be fired from the family bail bond business.
Word is Dog already contacted Rev. Al Sharpton hoping to explain the racist telephone call. Um, why does every white person in the world think that Al Sharpton is the official spokesmen for all black people? Too many questions not enough answers.
