The Robertson family is ready to move on from the controversy surrounding Duck Dynasty’s patriarch Phil Robertson’s racist and homophobic rants, according to a new report.

A source close to Phil Robertson and his family told People magazine A&E’s announcement that the hit show will return for another season came as a relief.

“The family is happy that they can put this behind them,” the source said.

Phil Robertson caused a firestorm of outrage last week after making anti-gay remarks during an interview with GQ magazine.

He also said black men in Louisiana during the Jim Crow era weren’t “singing the blues” and were “godly” and “happy”.

“It got a little out of hand,” the source told the magazine.

 “Phil has never been disrespectful to anyone and treats everyone with kindness. He made some comments off the cuff that he shouldn’t have made, and he knows that.”
