HONOLULU (AP) -- TV bounty hunter Duane "Dog" Chapman on Wednesday apologized for using the N-word repeatedly in a profanity-laced tirade during a private phone conversation with his son that was recorded and posted online.

Chapman, star of A&E's hit reality series "Dog the Bounty Hunter," responded after The National Enquirer posted a clip of the conversation in which Chapman uses the racial slur in reference to his son's black girlfriend.

The Enquirer and TMZ.com reported A&E suspended production on the series, the cable network's highest rated show, pending an inquiry. A&E did not immediately return phone messages seeking comment.

The recording was first posted online by the Enquirer. It was unclear who recorded the conversation or how the tabloid obtained the 1 1/2-minute clip in which the N-word was used six times. A woman at the Enquirer said no one would be available to comment after hours.

In the conversation, Chapman urges his son to break up with his girlfriend. He also expresses concern about the girlfriend going public about the TV star's use of the N-word.

"I'm not going to take a chance ever in life of losing everything I've worked for 30 years because some (expletive) n--- heard us say 'n---' and turned us in to the Enquirer magazine."

In the clip, Chapman also stated he doesn't care that his son's girlfriend is black and it wasn't about race.

In a statement, the 54-year-old Chapman said he has "utmost respect and aloha for black people who have 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," he said.

"I am ashamed of myself and I pledge to do whatever I can to repair this damage I have caused."

Chapman said, "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."

Chapman said the clip was completely taken out of context.

"I was disappointed in his choice of a friend, not due to her race, but her character," he said. "However, I should have never used that term."

Chapman said he is meeting with his spiritual adviser, Rev. Tim Storey, who is black, and hopes 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," he said. "I did not do the right thing this time, and hope you will forgive me."

The Honolulu-based bounty hunter first grabbed headlines for apprehending serial rapist and Max Factor heir Andrew Luster in Mexico in 2003.

I hate the whole "meet with black leaders" thing. I hated it when Michael Richards did it. I hate Dog doing it. I hate it when anyone does it so they can apologise and basically do exactly what Mr. Marsh is doing in that picture above - kiss their ass.

I fail to see how a general apology is any less meaningful than kissing Reverend Jackson and his pals collective asses. It does no one of any race any good except for the leaders whose asses are being caressed by the lips of the offender and all that does is give them a reason to feel as if they do anything really worthwhile.

why don't we hear more bitching when blacks drop the N-Bomb? if it's so offensive for whiteys to say it, why is so acceptable for blacks to say it?


i don't hear anyone bitching when Chris Rock says the N-word. i don't remember hearing anyone complain when Richard Pryor(sp?) said it. there are countless other black performers that probably get away with the same shit.


i'm not claiming that using the N-Bomb is acceptable. i just wish that the same standards that hold true for Dog, Don Imus, Michael Richards held true for everyone else. that's really my only complaint.
