This will be huge problems for the reality television star. There are all ready cries to yank the show from the airwaves. If you think it was bad for Don Imus (who will be back on the air soon) you ain't seen nothing yet.

The audio that is purported to be Duane Chapman is online here. It has very graphic language and he drops the F-bomb along with the N-word several times. Dog admits that he believes that his career might be over
A statement has now been released: "Reverend Al Sharpton's National Action Network and the organization's Decency Initiative are unequivocally against the use of the "N" word in any context. While people have the freedom to express themselves in any matter in private, when those private conversations become public, it becomes our responsibility to state, as we always have, that we condemn the use of this word as racist and derogatory."

Continuing: "Dog the Bounty Hunter has reached out to Reverend Sharpton who is traveling to promote his March on the U.S. Justice Department on November 16th against Hate Crimes and Racial Attacks and therefore Rev. Sharpton has not had a chance to hear the audio of the remarks. However, until he does hear the audio, National Action Network maintains that is against the use of the "N" word."

According to the Enquirer the star of the A&E reality show Dog, The Bounty Hunter directed his racist hatred at his son Tucker's girlfriend Monique Shinnery, who is black.
