She BIT him?? Dang!

Typically the daughter of Beth Chapman , who sadly passed away from Stage 4 lung cancer in 2019, came clean about the unfortunate incident on Monday — and she apparently got no regrets!

Claiming she was egged on after an “altercation where the man struck me and said vile things about the memory of my dead mother, ” she insisted:

“I used proportional response, disabled the particular aggressor, and stood up for the memory of my mom. She would have handled it quite the same way, I can assure you. ”

Wow. Not only is she proud of her actions, she says she’ d do it again!

“If you put your hands on Cecily Chapman you will get your ass kicked. ”

Yup, reminds us never to mess with the girl!

This arrest comes less than a month since Cecily told The Sun that she and her fiancé acquired decided to spend “time apart for a little bit. ” While she did not reveal why typically the couple felt they needed in order to hit pause on their relationship, this didn’t sound like a complete breakup. The 28-year-old mused:

The girl did not mention at this time that the break came after a fistfight.

Speaking of weddings, this arrest comes after the young Chapman made headlines for revealing she in addition to her stepsister Bonnie were not invited to Dog’s upcoming wedding to be able to Francie Frane . He is set to tie the not on Thursday, but neglected to include two associated with his daughters — and they think that’s because they remind him too much of his late wife Beth, whom he reportedly cheated on.

Bonnie also believes she may have been booted off the guest list for activism work with Black Lives Matter and for continuing for you to support Unleashed TV , where she is creating a new show about dismantling systemic racism. It’s the same network that will supposedly fired her dad with regard to his use of “epithets. ” The 52-year-old rancher and soon-to-be bride allegedly sent a text to Bonnie confirming she’d already been uninvited to the special event because she neglected to stand up for her father after he was axed from the streaming platform. Yeesh, so complicated!
