‘Duck Dynasty’ Star Phil Robertson Health’s ‘Not Good’ Says Son Ahead of Show Reboot
Jase Robertson has offered a blunt assessment of his father and mother’s health during episode 1069 of their “Unashamed with the Robertson Family” podcast, revealing that while his mother’s health has been improving after an extended stay in the hospital, his father, who has been battling a blood disease and early Alzheimer’s, is “not good.”
We haven’t given a update on my parents lately and tell you the truth, it hasn’t been good. But, for my mom (Miss Kay), it’s been a lot better in this past week because she was really not doing good. She got an infection from a fall from a cut that had happened earlier (and she was in the hospital for 11 days) but she’s now she’s still in the hospital.
It’s…more rehab, physically, trying to get her to eat and but we were kind of dealing with the fact that maybe this is it, I mean that’s what it seemed like in the moment, it seemed close, so it was difficult.
And my dad, you know, when people say -cuz that’s the number one question I get everywhere I go- and they’re like “How’s your dad doing?” And I now I’m just giving the blunt truth. I say “Not good.” ..So it’s it’s overwhelming….but we’re making them comfortable and you know, we’re doing the best we can and so I think that’s just what you do.”
Duck Dynasty has been rebooted by A&E and set to return to the small screen this summer, where the Robertson family will “grapple with mapping out the future of Duck Commander, watching the kids navigate marriage, children and businesses of their own, and passing down the family legacy.”
Robertson, 78, who says he first became a Christian in the 1970s and has been a church elder for years, was a much-loved character on AE’s breakout show, known for his wisdom and sage quips in a folksy package. Not without controversy, he made world headlines in 2013 after the network gave him an indefinite suspension for repudiating homosexuality in an article for GQ. After he was asked what he considers sinful, Robertson told his interviewer:
Start with homosexual behavior and just morph out from there. Bestiality, sleeping around with this woman and that woman and that woman and those men. Don’t be deceived. Neither the adulterers, the idolaters, the male prostitutes, the homosexual offenders, the greedy, the drunkards, the slanderers, the swindlers—they won’t inherit the kingdom of God. Don’t deceive yourself. It’s not right.
He also questioned the deranged logic of men who would prefer male body parts to those of women, making comments that The Gospel Coalition once tut-tutted as being “unnecessarily crude.”
It seems like, to me, a vagina—as a man—would be more desirable than a man’s anus. That’s just me. I’m just thinking: There’s more there! She’s got more to offer. I mean, come on, dudes! You know what I’m saying? But hey, sin: It’s not logical, my man. It’s just not logical.
Robertson is not without legitimate critics, however, with many pointing to the fact that the long-time church he’s been an elder at, White’s Ferry Road Church, preaches the heresy of baptismal regeneration, with their statement of faith reading:
WE BELIEVE the Holy Spirit co-exist with God the Father and God the Son. The Holy Spirit is a gift given to physically indwell Christians when they are baptized. He is a deposit from God the Father guaranteeing Jesus’ return. His role in our life is to help and guide us in sanctification (holiness).
