(Hollywood Reporter / Worthy News)– “I know Phil Robertson. I know his beliefs,” Deirdre Gurney, executive producer of A&E’s breakout hit, said during The Hollywood Reporter Reality Roundtable. “I know how he treats a crew that has several gay people on it.”
Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson came under fire after making anti-gay remarks in December 2013, prompting A&E to temporarily suspend him. Less than a week later, A&E and the Robertson family jointly announced that Phil Robertson would remain on the series during its fifth season, with no impact on production. The immediate uproar over Robertson’s incendiary comments, made during an interview with GQ, surprised producers Gurney Productions. — Source
