One of the entertainment industry's longest-running cases has resulted in a settlement, but of course, it can't end without some additional complication. For six years, Duane "Dog" Chapman has been fighting with Boris Krutonog, an executive producer on the A&E series Dog the Bounty Hunter, over money from the show. The case has touched a New York state court, a New York federal court, a California state court, a Hawaii federal court, the California Labor Commissioner and a California appeals court. After a marathon of intense litigation, it's nearly over. Chapman and Krutonog have made up. Or at least it

Reality TV star Duane "Dog" Chapman and his wife Beth Smith have turned up the heat in the battle against their former agent after he reportedly attempted to move a legal hearing to New York.

Chapman found fame with his own U.S. TV show, Dog The Bounty Hunter, in which cameras follow him as he manages his bail bond business in Honolulu, Hawaii.

The star is in the middle of a legal battle against his ex-agent Boris Krutonog, claiming he negotiated a secret deal with TV network A+E for a producer's fee for the show.

Now Chapman and wife Beth are said to be have discovered Krutonog has filed a claim with the New York Labor Commissioner to resolve the matter - even though the case is being dealt with by the California Labor Commissioner.

Website TMZ.com claims the couple wants the New York hearing dropped amid fears Krutonog has more of a chance of winning his case there than in California.

Chapman hit the headlines in November last year after his son Tucker Chapman went public with an audiotape on which his father was allegedly heard making racial slurs.

TV star Duane 'Dog' Chapman has launched a new legal battle with his former publicist over claims she leaked personal information about him to a U.S. tabloid.

Chapman, star of the U.S. TV show Dog The Bounty Hunter, filed a lawsuit against Maureen Krutonog in the circuit court of Hawaii on Thursday, alleging she "damaged his career" by selling "private and confidential information" about him to the National Enquirer.

In court documents obtained by TMZ.com, Chapman also accuses Krutonog of "manufacturing lies" to sell to the tabloids in order to generate publicity for her client.

Chapman hit the headlines last November after his son Tucker Chapman went public with an audiotape on which his father was allegedly heard making racial slurs.

The star further claims Krutonog "was romantically involved with and had substantial influence" over her husband Boris Krutonog, his former agent.

Boris Krutonog, who worked as an executive producer on the TV series, sued the show's network A+E earlier this year for failing to pay his salary and cutting him out of agreed DVD royalties.

Dog the Lawsuit Hunter Yeah, like I wasn’t going to report on any and all Dog the Bounty Hunter news after the explosion of comments from his official fan club last week that were in no way prompted by Beth Chapman in her website’s chat room. I didn’t have to wait long. Back in May, I reported that Dog was being sued by Boris Krutonog, who helped create and was executive producer on his show, who claimed that Dog and Beth subjected him to abusive, violent conduct and psychotic behavior. Today it was reported that Dog is suing his former publicist for selling stories to the National Enquirer to get back at him for firing her. That publicist’s name? Maureen Krutonog. That’s right—she’s Boris’s wife. I’m sure that’s a coincidence. Meanwhile, Dog’s sons Duane, Jr. and Leland, along with Tim Chapman,...

Latest: Actor Boris Krutonog insists he has been wrongly dubbed reality TV star Duane 'Dog' Chapman's former agent and manager.

Krutonog, who appeared in Star Trek: Voyager, is suing bosses of the TV show, Dog The Bounty Hunter, accusing them of holding back his salary and cutting him out of royalties.

And he's upset with Chapman's claims that Krutonog was his agent and manager - because it's getting in the way of his legal action.

He says, "This is just incorrect. I was never his agent or manager."

Krutonog, who was best man at Chapman's wedding, insists he bought the rights to the TV bounty hunter's life story and is purely a producer of Dog The Bounty Hunter.

He adds, "They're trying to take my salary and say I was the agent. I wasn't."

But Chapman's lawyer, Marty Singer, stands by claims Krutonog was Chapman's former agent and manager, adding, "(He) has made gratuitous, ridiculous and outrageous statements about his former clients. Mr. Krutonog was fired more than two years ago, after he refused to work on the series."

The actor is seeking $800,000 (GBP400,000) in damages.
