The network just announced it is lifting its suspension of "Duck Dynasty" patriarch Phil Robertson just 9 days after controversial anti-gay comments he made to GQ went public. FULL POST
Is it the end of Duck Dynasty?
The hit reality show and an estimated 400 million dollar empire may be in jeopardy as controversy continues to surround the show's star, Phil Robertson.
A new video surfaced Friday of Robertson calling homosexuals "God haters" during a sermon he gave in 2010.
A&E suspended Robertson for making controversial comments about blacks and homosexuality, but his family is standing by him.
In a statement they say, "We cannot imagine the show going forward without our patriarch at the helm. We are in discussions with A&E to see what that means for the future of Duck Dynasty."
