On Labor Day weekend 2021, Duane Chapman and Francie Frane walked down the aisle together at an intimate Colorado Springs ceremony in front of 100 of their nearest and dearest. It’s fair to say, however, that the nuptials didn’t exactly run smoothly.
According to the Daily Mail, Chapman was forced to hire extra security, including Navy SEALs and German Shepherds, after an anonymous hater issued a threat to spoil the bride’s crystal-adorned mermaid dress with paint. There were also reports that one guest had their car tires punctured with razor blades and that another returned to their vehicle to find a ‘mysterious pungent odor.’
The plot thickened when Chapman’s daughter Bonnie and stepdaughter Cecily were mentioned as possible culprits. The pair didn’t receive an invite to the wedding, with the former’s accusations that the “Dog’s Most Wanted” star was racist, homophobic, and adulterous no doubt playing a part. The week previously, Chapman told People, “Despite the sadness we feel at this rift in our family, Francie and I are looking forward to celebrating our wedding next week with the rest of our family and close friends.”
