Daniel Cobb
Chapman's daughter, Bonnie Chapman, and her half-sister, Cecily Barmore, reportedly were not invited to his wedding to his fiancé, Francie Frane, per E! News. The wedding is set to go down on September 2nd, but it appears Bonnie is uninterested in their relationship improving in time to watch her father walk down the aisle.
Bonnie and Chapman were working together on TV show called "The System" for UnleashedTV when the patriarch was fired for using racial and homophobic slurs (via People). Bonnie released a statement saying, "I'm sorry, but I can't defend my Dad's racism. When it comes to 'The System' on UnleashedTV, my father was fired by the platform for using racial and homophobic epithets toward my fellow cast members on the show, which is about social justice advocacy and protesting violence and racial bias by police. I have expressed time and time again my ever-growing disappointment in my father's progression into his old racist ways."
According to Bonnie, it was her father's alleged racist and homophobic behavior that started the feud, but there is more to the story. "I had forgiven my father after my mother's death for countless actions that I shouldn't have," she wrote. "He would cheat on my mom all the time, and I hated him every time he did it, but I forgave him for that because I wanted a relationship with my dad."
