Two daughters of Duane “Dog The Bounty Hunter” Chapman are speaking out to claim that their father did not invite them to his upcoming wedding to fiancé Francie Frane. However, a third daughter of Dog’s has since fired back to claim that the two of them are spreading lies and have a “cult mentality.”
Cecily And Bonnie Claim Dog Didn’t Invite Them To His Wedding
Cecily and Bonnie Chapman told TMZ that they believe that they were not invited because they physically resemble Dog’s late wife Beth. Beth died in 2019 at the age of 51 following a battle with cancer.
“My only guess or idea would be that he’s just not really on the same path as me and my sister,” said Cecily, who is actually Dog’s stepdaughter with Beth. “What I’m seeing personally is just my dad is having a hard time dealing with the fact that maybe he’s not going to be able to replace my mom and that me and Bonnie bring a lot out from my mom and he sees our mom in us.”
“I feel like that scares him,” she added. “Yes, he can move on. Yes, he can get married again – that’s not the problem. I just think he’s too scared that we remind him too much of my mother.”

Bonnie’s Liberal Activism May Be To Blame
Cecily went on to say that she and Bonnie have no bitterness towards Francie for marrying Dog.
“She’s a great lady and she’s never done anything to us,” Cecily explained. “So that’s why I feel that this is more of a personal thing with my dad towards us girls because we do resemble my mom a lot and I feel that especially with where our direction is going – Bonnie is doing protests and she’s getting out there and she’s being an activist and my mom actually thrived off that stuff – and if you knew Beth, you knew that she was like that.”
The “protests” that Cecily is referring to are for Black Lives Matter and other radically liberal causes, which Bonnie first became active in earlier this year.
Cecily added that she is preparing to announce a documentary about Beth to “remember my mom and I just want her to be honored in the best way that I can.”
“If my dad has a problem with that then that’s on him,” she continued.
Bonnie chimed in to say that she believes Beth “would have wanted [them] there.”
“We’re family,” she said. “We’re his flesh and blood and we should be there for a union, I mean she is our step-mother.”
Lyssa Chapman Fires Back
However, Dog’s other daughter Lyssa has since fired back to accuse her sisters of putting out a false narrative.
“My sister(s) are putting out lies about our father. Do not listen!” Lyssa wrote on Instagram. “For the record, Bonnie and Cecily are loved by our family and we are heartbroken that bad people are using them to get revenge on Dad.”
“Everything Bonnie is alleging has been put in her head by ex-business partners of my father who are angry they couldn’t ride his coattails any longer,” she added. “Dad quit when he realized they were con men. They said they fired him to save face and then started grooming two of his daughters as revenge.”
“I believe these people influencing my sister are of a Cult Mentality and my sisters have been indoctrinated,” Lyssa continued. “They are being used as pawns and disgracing their Mothers legacy and their father’s reputation at the hands of other people.”
“The people who watched our shows know who Dog is. And he’s none of what Bonnie is alleging,” she concluded. “Please pray for my sisters to be released from whatever hold these criminals have on them.”

While it’s difficult to surmise what exactly is going on here, this is clearly a very intense situation that is tearing this family apart.
Life is too short to hold grudges, particularly when it comes to family, so here’s hoping the Chapmans can let whatever is happening go and become close to one another again.
