Ratings took a hit, however, when Robertson patriarch Phil faced backlash and was suspended from filming for making anti-gay comments during an interview with GQ magazine in 2013.

“We are extremely disappointed to have read Phil Robertson’s comments in GQ, which are based on his own personal beliefs and not reflected in the series Duck Dynasty,” the network said in a statement obtained by PEOPLE.
