Author and speaker Sadie Robertson Huff has responded to backlash she recently received for visiting Disney World with her family. The “Duck Dynasty” star discussed the controversy on her “WHOA That’s Good” podcast.
Huff had received criticism for giving money to Disney despite the media conglomerate’s outspoken support for the LGBTQ+ community and the LGBTQ+ themes that have appeared in some of its recent films geared toward children.
Huff prefaced her response by saying it would be “a messy conversation about cancel culture.”
She went on to mention that several of her recent Instagram posts were about the LO Sister Conference, a two-day Christian women’s event she recently led and which saw “over 300 girls baptized and lives changed and restored and redeemed.”

“So I’m posting about that on my Instagram and I’m posting all about the baptisms and how awesome it was,” Huff said. “And, of course, I get unfollowed by people, because I’m sitting here posting about Jesus and baptisms and just like the gospel. And people were like, ‘No, you know, too much.’”
Huff continued, “Well, then at the end of the week, I posted about going to Disney World.”
Huff expressed that after the busyness of LO Sister Conference, she and her husband, Christian, felt that they should do something special for their two-year-old daughter, Honey.
“We could have done something special for Honey anywhere, but she loves Disney princesses right now…loves pink castles, loves the magic—Ariel, Rapunzel, Moana,” Huff said, adding that it was “so special” to take Honey to the Disney theme park.
“We had the best time ever,” she remarked. But after she posted about the trip on Instagram, she was hit with a wave of backlash.

“Talk about getting unfollowed for something completely different,” she said. “I’m getting unfollowed because I’m too woke, I’ve gone crazy. People literally said, ‘You’re not even a Christian…How could you bring your family to such a horrible place?’” She added that the comment section was filled with people saying that they “have to unfollow” her.
