Reality Star Weighs In On Cancel Culture: ‘We’re All Human’

Sadie Robertson Huff is weighing in on cancel culture following her own experience with online hate.

“I experienced a touch of cancel culture there,” she told Fox News, referring to a TikTok video where she and her sister participated in a line-dancing trend to Beyoncé’s hit song, “Texas Hold ’Em.”

Huff explained, “Honestly, I wasn’t even paying attention to the song….We did the trend, and people had a problem with the song and different things. And so, I got a lot of backlash.”

“I ended up deleting the video,” she continued. “But I wanted to come on and just kind of share why I deleted the video. Because I think a lot of times on social media, especially with cancel culture, you just hide or delete the video and say, ‘Sorry, didn’t mean to do that.’ But I actually just wanted to open it up to a bigger conversation.”

For Huff, the online hate also became a learning moment.

“If I got that much hate for doing something I didn’t even mean to do wrong, what happens whenever I do mess up? Because we’re all human,” she explained. “Sometimes, on social media, you see people almost rejoice when someone else does the wrong thing or falls down. It’s like, no — actually help a brother. Pick him back up.”

In an interview with Taste of Country, Huff shared her disappointment in how many people in the Church were criticizing her for posting the video.

“It’s almost like people in the Church are waiting for a moment you mess up so that they can bring you down and tear you down and prove you were not whatever,” she said. “We’re supposed to be able to confess our sins and be healed. This is supposed to be a safe place, a family, where you go, ‘hey, I’ve been struggling with this,’ and you’re not met with criticism and judgement. You’re actually met with love.”

Huff continued, “Here I am doing this thing that I didn’t even know was wrong and all of a sudden it’s like, whoa, cancel culture. It’s not cancel culture from the world, it’s cancel culture in the church.”

This isn’t the first time the DUCK DYNASTY star has had to deal with online backlash. In 2023, many fans criticized her for a family trip to Disney World.

“If I go to a place that might have sinners around, that doesn’t mean that I all of a sudden become a sinner. That doesn’t mean all of a sudden that I become and take on everything that that place stands for,” she said in response to her critics. “I think that sometimes that’s true for the other way around too. Just because you’re in church and just because you’re in a holy place, doesn’t mean you’re holy…It’s not about where you’re at. It’s about who’s in you.”

Huff’s comments are a reminder to meet others with forgiveness and love, rather than “cancel” them.
