Although photos from the wedding paint a happy picture of the newlyweds enjoying time with loved ones, Dog the Bounty Hunter's daughter, Bonnie Chapman, was not in attendance. Nor was Beth Chapman's daughter (thus his step-daughter) Cecily Chapman. Cecily — who made headlines for a recent arrest – told TMZ she thought it was because the girls reminded their father of their mother, and that it was a painful memory. In a post on Facebook, Bonnie claimed she and her sister were not invited because of her support for the Black Lives Matter movement.

She also alleged that her father was racist and homophobic and that she later received a text message (shared with TMZ) from Francie Frane about the guest list snub. Duane Chapman passionately denied accusations of homophobia and racism in a sit-down interview with Entertainment Tonight. He alleged that his daughter was being "fed what to say" and was "brainwashed" by others. Meanwhile, Frane opened up about their decision not to invite the girls.

"As hard as it is and as heartbreaking as it is, we had to make a decision that was very difficult for us," she said. "We've been through hell — him and I — in the past three years ... And I am not going to allow our day to be ruined by this nonsense."
