One Direction's Liam Payne Goes Hunting With "Duck Dynasty" Family

One Direction singer Liam Payne recently went on a hunting trip with members of the Robertson family of Ducky Dynasty fame. Earlier this week, Payne's friend Andy Samuels tweeted a photo with the pop star and the Robertson clan holding rifles, writing: “Today I shot a gun at a clay disc thing and I loved it”

Well at least they didn't shoot any animals—that we know of.

The Robertsons have been embroiled in controversy since patriarch Phil Robertson went off against homosexuals in an interview with GQ magazine.  This month, the reality star claimed that sexually-transmitted infections are God’s punishment against gay people. (Because no heterosexual has gotten crabs, apparently.)

The Robertson family has rallied to Phil's defense, with Son Alan hailing him has a modern-day John the Baptist. Other family members have made appearances at anti-LGBT conferences.

Earlier this year, Liam praised the Robertsons for “the family values you still all behold," but later claimed “being a fan of someones show and the way they still hold a family together doesnt mean i am ok with all they say.”

Um, we're pretty sure it does, Liam.

Just last week, Payne got sucked into a different gay scandal, when fake photos emerged alleging to show him and another man in bed. “I’m 100% not homophobic, but I’m also 100% not gay," Payne tweeted after the pic surfaced. "So when somebody says I am [gay] I’m gunna say I’m not which does not make me a homophobe.”
