So, they want more money from the producers/network. Well, how surprising.

This is my shocked face. /

Seriously though, they’re right to demand more for their show. It’s got killer ratings for A&E, but the racist/homophobic outburst is something A&E doesn’t want to deal with, and if the family is going to play hardball over this, they may find themselves out of a show on A&E.

Some other network will probably pick them up, but who’s to say how much they’ll net at the end of the day.

What we do know is that the show benefits from Louisiana taxpayers - as a show filmed/produced in Louisiana, the show is probably getting significant tax credits/incentives to work there. And a portion is supporting this guy and his choices/actions.
