A&E Kills “Golden Duck”! Suspends Phil Robertson from show.
Phil Roberson – Star of Duck Dynasty
After the fallout from Phil Robertson’s interview with GQ, A&E execs cave to pressure and suspend the star of the show, Phil Robertson. Many are expressing outrage claiming that Phil was spreading hate speech. I read the interview and it seemed like his opinion but I never read “hate” into his comments.
A&E has placed Duck Dynasty patriarch Phil Robertson on indefinite hiatus following anti-gay remarks he made in a recent profile in GQ.
“We are extremely disappointed to have read Phil Robertson’s comments in GQ, which are based on his own personal beliefs and are not reflected in the series Duck Dynasty,” A&E said in a statement. “His personal views in no way reflect those of A+E Networks, who have always been strong supporters and champions of the LGBT community. The network has placed Phil under hiatus from filming indefinitely.”
