Francie heard the voicemail and called back, initially unaware she was talking to the television star until he mentioned he was Dog the Bounty Hunter. Six months later, Duane, presumably needing an excavator, called Bob's phone not knowing he had died.
That was two days after Beth passed away and Francie called her friend "nuts" after she made the suggestion. Francie, a former rancher and hunter, said she hadn’t heard of Dog the Bounty Hunter, until a friend mentioned Duane had lost his wife and that the two should meet. When ET spoke to the couple last September, they shared their love story. And I am not going to allow our day to be ruined by this nonsense."
We've been through hell - him and I - in the past three years. Meanwhile, Francie shared of not inviting Bonnie to the wedding, "As hard as it is and as heartbreaking as it is, we had to make a decision that was very difficult for us. She said she was "disturbed" by what he had to say. The only credibility my dad has to speak about brainwashing is perhaps as a victim."īonnie also called ET's Kevin Frazier, who conducted the interview with Dog, to apologize for her father's comments during the interview. He has begun to believe crazy conspiracy theories. I didn't believe he would go this far to discredit me so much as to say I was brainwashed. In response, Bonnie told ET in an exclusive statement, "As far as the idea that I'm being brainwashed, this is the dumbest thing my father has ever said. "Would I die for a gay man or a Black man? I would lay down my life," he also said. I don't understand why anybody would ever say that." "I have three men on my staff that are gay. My daughter is gay, Baby Lyssa.
"She's been fed what to say," he said of Bonnie's accusations. Duane insisted to ET that he's never been a racist and is not homophobic, and said Bonnie was being "brainwashed." Bonnie claimed that she didn't get an invite to her dad's big day because she's a supporter of the Black Lives Matter movement. She also alleged that he's racist and homophobic. Dog and Francie explained why they didn't invite his 22-year-old daughter, Bonnie, to the nuptials. There was, however, controversy leading up to the wedding.
