"The Fluffer" The Guy Who Created "Duck Dynasty" Starred In A Movie About Gay Porn



A decade before Scott Gurney created Duck Dynasty, he starred as a gay porn star in a 2001 movie called The Fluffer, an unmentioned but delightful fact in the background of the show’s recent conflagration over Phil Robertson’s homophobic comments to GQ. But it’s not a secret either; The Fluffer, which was an independent film that played at the 2001 Toronto International Film Festival, is right there on Gurney’s IMDb page.

I called Gurney Productions — which Gurney founded in 2005 with his wife, Deirdre — to ask for a comment. I was told no one gets connected to Scott on the phone, and I should send an email. (I did.) A spokesman for A&E also didn’t immediately return an email requesting a comment.

Gurney’s character in The Fluffer is gay-for-pay and a meth addict. He becomes the object of obsession for a male film student who gets a job as his on-set fluffer. It’s dark! It was directed by Wash West and Richard Glatzer.

Hypocrisy, thy name art Phil Robertson, who has no problem whatsoever when it comes to collaborating with a gay man in a money-making venture, then blatantly pandering to the ignorant and bigoted in condemning entire groups of people.

The piece says Gurney is married to a woman. The piece does not say he is a gay man. He's part of the Heterosexual Community, along with Phil, Pope Francis and Vald Putin.

I can't believe the vicious fb fighting that's going on over this. I'm confused (more than normally).
