As for criticism that A&E knew what it was getting into with Phil when they hired him - see this sermon video from 2010 (above) - a source explained:
"He just took it too far with GQ ... especially with the coarse language."
A&E is adamant that this has nothing to do with being "anti-religion," as many critics alleged this week. The network runs lots of religious programming.
Perhaps most notably, A&E is the home of Mark Burnett's The Bible.
The CEO is paying the price for her actions and has been receiving death threats. The status of Robertson and the show remains unclear at this time.
He hasn't been outright fired and the show hasn't been canceled, and it's unclear if production was even underway on new episodes at the time.
In the Duck Dynasty Season 5 sneak peek (January 15), Phil is prominently featured, and there are several marathons of repeats on this month.
Clearly, the network isn't cutting ties with Phil yet, but they're most likely weighing their options and speaking with the family about how to proceed.
Should Phil Robertson have been suspended from Duck Dynasty?
