Wah wah wah, sour grapes and sour prunes are what Charles Fisher apparently has been eating for 3 meals a day for the last couple years, since why else would he be claiming that Dog the Bounty Hunter’s reality television show Dog And Beth: On The Hunt supposedly “ruined his life”? Aside from the fact that it maybe, y’know, possibly ruined his life…but that’s reality television for ya. Strategic editing decisions are made in order to try and spin a (semi) interesting narrative, so while Charles could have done nothing wrong while being filmed for the show it’s possible that what viewers wound up seeing on television months and months later is completely fake.
But I’m getting ahead of myself, as usual (I had my wisdom teeth pulled and I’m on a A LOT of Vicodin right now, so I’ve got an excuse):
Charles Fisher claims his reputation and bounty hunting business were destroyed after he was featured on the On The Hunt episode of Dog And Beth: On The Hunt.
He makes a battery of claims against 62-year-old Dog, real name Duane Chapman, and his other half in his recently filed lawsuit.Fisher, who was described as a ‘corrupt bondsman’ on the CMT programme, alleges a dishonestly edited phone conversation was aired which made it appear he made off with $20,000 in collateral, according to TMZ,
Another of his complaints is that he was portrayed as ripping off his insurance company, and that he used a jail connection to drum up business, the news site reported.
In addition, he is claiming that he was only paid a quarter of the $20,000 he agreed with the couple to sell them his phone lines.
Fisher, despite the fact he admitted he was facing bankruptcy during his appearance on the show, claims that since his business has been ruined he is owed the eye-watering sum of $30,000,000.(via)
That’s a total bummer. You know what else is a total bummer? That Charles Fisher vaguely resembles that guy from the first Men in Black movie. Y’know, the one who was actually just a meat puppet for a giant cockroach alien thing:
And here’s Charles:
Yeah money is important, but so is not looking like that dude up there. Priorities, Charles.
