Duck Dynasty's Phil Robertson released after hospitalization €“ ailment unknown

Phil Robertson of "Duck Dynasty" missed the debut performance of his granddaughter Sadie Robertson in "Dancing With The Stars." He had a very good reason why he wasn't there last week.

Sadie's very first television debut out of "Duck Dynasty" went very well for her. In the Season 19 of "Dancing With The Stars," all of the judges praised her performance. Now, many believe that Sadie is one of the top contenders for the new season of the dancing competition. Sadie's father was there that night, but her grandfather wasn't.

Later, when Sadie was asked why there were so little of her family that came to watch her perform, she revealed that her grandfather Phil had some health trouble.

"My grandpa actually had to go to the hospital tonight. So a lot of them are with him," she told Life & Stye, as quoted by Inquisitr.

"He's going to be fine," Sadie added, but she ended her revelation there. Sadie didn't say what her grandfather Phil's ailment or sickness is.

Phil was admitted to a Los Angeles hospital. According to Inquisitr, a press representative for "Duck Dynasty" said that Phil has been released from the hospital and is already resting in Sadie's LA apartment.
