Phil Robertson has been suspended from filming his A&E series “Duck Dynasty” in the wake of hateful remarks he made about homosexuality.
As Gossip Cop previously reported, the reality star spoke to GQ about his belief that being gay is a “sin,” and compared it to bestiality.
He later said in a statement that while he “love[s] all of humanity,” his “mission” is to teach what’s in the Bible “and part of that teaching is that women and men are meant to be together.”
GLAAD has already condemned the comments — and now A&E is as well.
“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,” says the network in a statement.
It adds, “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.”
