While it may have been a day to remember for Chapman and Frane, the situation hasn’t been without family drama. Before Chapman and Frane married, Chapman’s daughterย Bonnie Jo Chapmanย and Beth Chapman’s daughterย Cecily Chapmanย claimedย they were not invited, with Bonnie alleging that she was not invited becuase she supported the Black Lives Matter movement. Lyssa was one of Duane’sย strongest supporters though, insisting her dad is not racist. In her new statement,ย Lyssa said Bonnie and Cecilyย are being “conned” by the people they live with.
“Sooo you guys are seeing a lot of family drama today,”ย Lyssa tweeted on Thursday. “If you have a family you know that it’s dirty, messy and 3 sided. Some things are truths are some are lies. Well, here is my family who’s currently being ripped apart by a dangerous and evil, duo but it not my sisters it’s the people they LIVE with. So I’m not surprised they are attacking me and my dad with lies and fake photos. BUT these are my family.”
“They try to make me so angry that I fight back, trying to hurt my baby sisters publicly,” Lyssa continued. “You caught me slipping for a minute but I gathered my emotions and turned that anger into love and direct my attention to the real enemy. It’s not Cecily or Bonnie, it’s the people they are living with and being conned by. I know we will be family again and no matter what I love you my sisters.”
This is not the first timeย Lyssa suggested that a third-party is influencing Bonnie and Cecily’s public comments. On Aug. 23, Lyssa claimed there were “ex-business partners of my father” who were putting these ideas inย Bonnie‘s head. Lyssa was not specific about who she was referring to, but she may have been referencing the situation withย Dog Unleashed. Producers canceled the show just days before it was supposed to debut on a new streaming platform because Duane allegedly violated “contractual obligations” and was accused of racism and homophobia during production.
