Miss Kay on Phil Robertson: Some of the things he says shock her too, but his heart is always in the right place

Duck Dynasty's Phil Robertson has received a lot of flak and even turned some of the show's fans into haters after making several unbridled comments over the years, particularly when it comes to homosexuality.

Even his own wife Miss Kay gets shocked by some of the statements he makes, often telling him, "I cannot believe you said that!"

Despite her disbelief though, Miss Kay knows that her husband's heart is in the right place.

"I'm not scared of him," Miss Kay told FOX411. "But I also love him and appreciate what he's trying to do and I think most people don't realise he really is trying to help. Sometimes I think he doesn't get it out exactly right but yes his heart is good and he's trying to be helpful even though it might sound different to other people."

She adds that people often fail to see her husband's true colours. People look at Phil and see a "rugged, outspoken man," but little do they know that he is actually very sweet.

"I'm so proud of my husband," she said. "People don't realise that he'll step up to the plate and totally cook if I've given up. He does hamburgers, a lot of grilling, an old-time jambalaya. He can do a mean fried chicken, he does a fried steak with wild gravy. He's good and he doesn't mind it. In fact since I've been on the phone for most of the day with interviews he's going to cook for me when I stop, he's already told me."

Miss Kay knows that her husband is a little rough around the edges, but she hopes people realise that all he ever wanted to do is help America and help families. "That's really what we're about. We can't help but do that," she said.
