‘Devil Qualities’: ‘Duck Dynasty’ Star’s Shift From ‘Heathen’ to Christ Told in ‘The Blind’
“Duck Dynasty” stars Phil and Kay Robertson are two of the most beloved reality TV personalities in cable history, but their lives weren’t always filled with so much laughter and love. Long before their A&E glory days, the Robertsons struggled in their marriage, with Phil finding himself lost, aloof, disconnected from his wife and children, womanizing, and dependent on alcohol.
Phil’s journey of leaving the mess behind and embracing Jesus — and Kay’s quest to forgive him — are at the center of a new film called “The Blind,” opening in theaters nationwide September 28. The couple and their famous family hope the drama helps show people the transformative power that can come from finding Jesus. And they said opening up and being so vulnerable about past mistakes wasn’t necessarily easy.
“It was embarrassing for me … when you tell people your sins,” Phil told CBN Digital. “You’ve already told them to God; He knew them.” Kay, too, said the experience of being so raw and candid was difficult. “It was pretty hard,” she said. “When I saw [the film] the first time, I cried from start to finish, because it was just so real, and they were doing such a great job … playing us, and then it was like reliving the hardest time of your life.”
Phil said he was a “drunkard and a heathen” and that it was humbling to watch it all play out on the big screen. Miss Kay, for her part, described Phil as “hard,” “distrusting,” and a very “jealous” man before he came to faith – attributes observed in “The Blind.” “He just had some devil qualities.”
Watch Phil and Miss Kay break down their life, his conversion, and their hopes and prayers for “The Blind.”
