TMZ has reached out to Dog the Bounty Hunter for comment on his racist rant, caught on audiotape and published by the National Enquirer. We were told Dog would not say anything, but we were referred to his pastor.
Pastor Tim Storey, an African-American, told us that he spoke with Dog, who cried for 30 minutes, saying, "I'm shocked, I'm wrong I repent. Can you believe, Tim, that I'm going to be put in the same category as Imus."
Pastor Storey, whom USA Today has referred to as "Pastor to the stars," told TMZ, "I was shocked, because I don't know that to be Duane." He went on, "I felt that he had to be accountable to what he said. When I asked him what took place, why he said it, he said that he was angry with his son about many things."
The pastor, who performed Dog and Beth's wedding ceremony continued, "The subject of his son's girlfriend came up, and in his anger he then attacked that relationship and then therefore challenged the girl by saying she wasn't good enough."
Pastor Story said, "What shocked me was that he used the N word. I know he's not a racist. He's been to black churches with me to help inner-city kids."
The pastor said he talked to Dog three times today and he apologized, saying he wasn't angry at the girl, it was anger toward his son.

Hopefully the racist Sharpton & Jesse Hijackson & Orenthal get theirs this time.
i used to love his show..my 2 year old knows the theme music when he hears it...very disappointed but truly not suprised..always knew he had an inkling of KLANSMEN in his personality..A&E should cancel his show, racists are bad for business...I WILL BE REMOVING HIS SHOW FROM MY TIVO!!
Walks like a duck talks like a duck.....you know the rest.......
His wife must be going nuts like when he was arrested recently with all the drama. Hawaii is a small place and not great for making enemies especially among mixed races. He has tanked his career for sure. At leats he still has the BIGGANS to fondle.
you can tell he is racist he was mad because his son has a black girlfriend i a white person and i could hear the anger in him hes racist i wil never watch the show again
so your telling me that you people have never said the N work or anything like to to anotther race.. just because he said N!gger dosent make him a racist..you people need to pull your head out of your ass. if that was the case everyone in the world would be a racist.who cares move on he said it big deal..
The sooner blacks stop teaching the N-word & pay reparations - the sooner there shall be peace for black men.
PS - how did this get taped in the 1st place & who stole the tape & who sold it?
I love the USA. I love the fact we can use whatever words we want and only those with something to lose will apologize over it. I for one don't. And if I offend you by something I said then perhaps you're just a wus whose hurt feelings mean nothing to me and maybe you should just stay out of my conversations. If you act like one then you are one - get it?!?
Black Eyed Peas should have kept Lets Get Retarded but nooooo people's feelings may get hurt - get a back bone you wussies and quit shoving you're stupid agenda on the rest of us. People should be able to use what ever word in the english language they want, whats it really going to do to you huh? I mean c'mon, if you get offended by someones leaked private tirade then your probably living in a bubble, behind many doors people still use offensive language - WHO THE HELL CARES!!!!
Support the troops and pray for their safe return - IRAN NEXT!!!
WOW - I was such a fan. What a shame. This black woman wont be tuning in again, EVER AGAIN.
So what if someone is racist. All People are racist against something. That is the way it is and will always be so just accept it and move on.
I stiil believe Dog has a good heart. He was angry and this was a private conversation. Keep the show.
Hey That Puts Gene Simmions Family Jewels as
"TOP DOG" on A & E now!!
KISS RULES
Sometimes good people say and do stupid things. Haven't we all (esp in the privacy of our homes and on our private phones). As an African American who grew up no stranger to racism in New Jersey, I must say, I've used colorful racist remarks in the past, especially in private and in the company of trusted friends and family. It sounds as if Dog was telling is son that this girl was obviously threatening to expose his colorful language to the National Enquirer. He's explaining that he doesn't want his son to continue to be involved with someone who is willing to threaten the family's livelihood and reputation. Wouldn't you encourage you son to reevaluate his relationship with her? His good deeds outweigh his bad language. Sorry my fellow Black folk. Reverse the scenario and you would say, drop that snitch from the family circle. But shame on you Dog ! ! ! No excuses! Apologize if you are sorry. If not, live with the consequences. I still appreciate what you do for others. Hopefully A&E and the public will to.
This guy is going down. This is a sad day for reformed ex-cons,drug addicts, and anyone this racist has claimed to "Help". They never gave a damn about anyone just the bankroll.
