Fans Blast Duane Chapman on Late Beth’s Death Anniversary for Speaking about His Son Instead

Duane “Dog the Bounty Hunter” Chapman, 70, has taken to Instagram to reveal he recently discovered he fathered a son named Jon. The revelation carries particular weight as Jon’s birthday falls on the same date that marks the passing of Chapman’s late wife, Beth Chapman.

Previously a day of sorrow, Chapman now views the date with a sense of renewal and joy. The reality star shared a heartfelt picture of Jon and his wife, Jodi, with his followers, promising to discuss more about Jon in his upcoming memoir, ‘Nine Lives and Counting’, set to release soon.

In his post, Chapman imparted a message of hope, highlighting God’s ability to restore and redeem in times of loss, and wished his newfound son a happy birthday.

While Duane Chapman did allude to his deep sense of loss, he failed to specifically commemorate Beth on the anniversary of her demise, a detail that didn’t slip his ardent fans. Several followers voiced their concerns, with one notably stating, “Let’s not forget Beth, she is greatly missed,” hinting at an undercurrent of accusation that Chapman might be indifferent.

Other commenters, meanwhile, began to pour out their own heartfelt tributes to the late Beth, wishing her eternal peace and terming her an ‘angel’.

Beth Chapman, the loving partner to Dog for almost 13 years, tragically passed away in June 2019 at the age of 51. Her brave fight against throat and lung cancer, which sadly spanned two years, ultimately resulted in her being placed in a medically induced coma prior to her departure.
