DUCK DYNASTY’s witty Uncle Si Robertson is a laugh a minute on the A&E hit, but few fans know of his secret heartbreak as his family battled depression and suicide.
The warmhearted Robertson clan has smashed TV records, attracting a phenomenal 12 million viewers to the cable show, which revolves around their homespun wisdom and the unlikely way they’ve earned millions – selling duck calls.
And “Duck Dynasty” patriarch Phil Robertson helped boost the family’s fortune to more than $75 million with the success of his tell-all memoir, “Happy, Happy, Happy.”
BUT Vietnam vet Si, 65, went through hell before achieving incredible success. Si married his wife Christine in 1971 even though she believed she couldn’t have children.
