(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.

The immediate uproar over Robertson’s incendiary comments, made during an interview with GQ, surprised producers Gurney Productions. — Source
