Anyone who followed A&E Network’s Dog the Bounty Hunter probably recognize this name right off the bat. While a handful of people will remember him for the tragedy that befell him. Altogether, Justin Bihag was an important fixture on the show.
The show mainly followed the lives of Duane “Dog” Chapman and his experiences as a bounty hunter. Another major character in the mix was his wife, Beth. In the first six seasons of the show, Chapman’s nephew (not related) Justin Bihag was a huge part of the show.
So, it’s only natural to wonder what happened to him seeing as the show went on for a whole two seasons after he left.
The Many Issues of Justin Bihag
While reality shows usually end up propelling the cast members from one level to the next, Bihag drew the short end of the straw on that one. Dog’s nephew — not related — apparently got into a serious auto crash sometime in 2004 while the show was still running.
The accident happened when he drove into a tree with his vehicle. But that was not the end of it because not only was he charged with a DUI. The reality TV star was also hospitalized, and he lost his leg in the wake of the accident.
But the issues certainly did not end there. Apparently, he wasn’t fully paid for all his appearances on the show. So, in 2014, he filed a lawsuit against the network. Before that, his relationship with the Chapmans was already strained. He even accused them of using his accident as a promotional tool.
To top things off, Bihag lost custody of his child. He was pretty much in a bad place, and besides battling addiction, depression crept in as well. It’s safe to say the cards he was dealt were quite unpleasant. According to Radar, the reality TV star is in the process of writing a tell-it-all book about his time on Dog The Bounty Hunter.
Where Is He Now?
The reality TV life is probably not for everyone, and Justin Bihag most definitely falls into that category. Presently, most of his life is off-screen, and he’s working hard on bettering himself. Based on his Facebook bio, it seems that he’s currently living in Pahoa, Hawaii.
Some of the hashtags he uses suggest he’s kicking it back and is grateful for where he is. Additionally, he boasts of being a proud father and that he has been through it all.
Even more, he’s not quite into the bounty hunter game anymore. Bihag is currently pursuing a career in music, and some of his tunes can be heard on Reverb Nation. His is truly a tale of ‘all is well, that ends well.’
