Duck Dynasty’s Sadie Robertson To Dance On DWTS Season 19?
According to US Weekly, Duck Dynasty’s Sadie Robertson is joining the cast of dancing With The Stars Season 19! More below and at the link….
And another! Duck Dynasty star Sadie Robertson is the latest celeb to join the new roster for ABC’s season 19 of Dancing With the Stars, a source exclusively confirms to Us Weekly. The 17-year-old model joins previously revealed competitors Janel Parrish, Lolo Jones, and Antonio Sabato Jr.
While speaking to Us Weekly in May, Sadie’s mom Korie Robertson revealed to Us her daughter has always wanted to be on the hit ABC competition show. “I think that our kids are really natural in front of the camera and they have fun with it,” the A&E star said when asked if she thinks her and Willie’s kids will continue with careers in the entertainment industry. “Sadie I think wants to maybe be on a talk show and she wants to be on Dancing with the Stars!” she laughingly added.
ETA: Heidi here with an apparent confirmation.
never heard of her either lol it really is dancing with the you may not of heard of but…..
Never heard of her either. Out of the seven rumored names I know of one, Janel Parrish, pll fan. Well I dont know any youtube stars either so i wont no that person, so one for eight.
And just when I was saying to myself earlier “I’m kinda happy with the cast so far” .. And now THIS. :/
She looks like a lovely girl. Very pretty and sweet but I just cannot stand “Duck Dynasty”. And if she is on it means I will be forced to see the rest of her family on the show too and.. ugh. God no.
First rumor that I am hoping to dear God isn’t true. (though I am getting a strong feeling that this might be true… sigh)
CC, you win some, you lose some. And if you are feeling that the rest of the cast is Aldrich a win for you, then one loss isn’t there end of the world. Plus, for all you know, other people feel the same way you do. And therefore she might go early.
Personally, I’m fairly indifferent to her because I don’t watch duck dynasty or anything of the sort. I’ll reserve my judgement until she dances!
@Aviva You are right! There’s always that one (or two) person that is cast every season that I wish hadn’t be. Last season it was NeNe (though I ended up kinda liking her) and Cody Simpson.
I am willing to give her a chance once I see her dance. Who knows maybe I’ll end up liking her a little but it is the rest of her family I can’t stand 😛 hopefully they don’t show much of them…
I’m pretty sure we’ll be seeing a lot of at least some of her family. Remember, she is a minor, which means she probably needs some sort of supervision.
Who? Well so far this alleged rumored cast is not impressive at all. And with this Monday night 8:00 time slot filled with top rated television, DWTS will have to knock it out of the park. So far I’m not seeing it.
Just not a big fan of having children on the show.
If most of these rumors are true, I’m beginning to see why the show made such a big deal out of announcing the pros. So far I don’t have a clue who any of these “stars” are, other than Lolo Jones. I know in this world of 700 TV channels and YouTube stars, fan bases are smaller and there are a lot of semi-famous people but so far I’m not seeing any names that will make this must watch TV for very many people.
I’m excited on the new cast rumored so far….well, with maybe an exception to whoever the you tuber might be (if it’s true they are considering one). It just depends. Though it’s funny, for those in the past that I thought I wouldn’t like on the show (Nancy Grace, etc), I ended up loving. I’m also hoping they are holding some bigger names in their pocket (Shania Twain?) and saving them to announce last. I also wouldn’t be surprised if some of the current rumored celebs aren’t dancing as nothing is 100% confirmed until the cast announcement.
NOT a fan of Duck Dynasty at ALL! And I agree that I don’t think kids under the age of 18 should be on the show. Personally this Sadie is not the star anyway…her father and grandfather and even her mother is more the star but NOT her. Sheesh…they’re REALLY grasping at straws here now.
Must be trying to go after the Christian demographic seeing how successful it was with Candace Cameron Bure last season. In her defense though, she was a draw because of Full House in the 90’s. This girl, no one even KNOWS who she is? I had to Google her to find out.
Any idea of what her height could be? The media thinks she will be paired with Mark because she has some sort of connection to Candace and they also share the same values.
For me personally, I don’t want to see her Rip Van Winkle looking, camo wearing men-folk in the audience every week.

Oh Nancy Grace! Totally agree. She was a hoot. Still a pain in the a** but also endearing and funny. Who knew. That was a season that had great use of getting to know the celebrities with the interview clips and other behind the scenes gems.
@Vogue – Shania Twain could be a possibility.
If I am reading this information correctly on Ceasars website and Shania’s facebook page.. It looks like her Las Vegas show is wrapping up the end of this month and then resumes again in October. I know it’s tough to do but she may still be a contender. Donny Osmond comes to mind.
Shania has always been one of my favorite female singers of all time. I would love to see her do the show.
So this is going to be a short but to the point: I hate Duck Dynasty. They are just way too annoying not to be fake.
I’ve never watched Duck Dynasty before and never will (just because of the homophobic comments one of the guys made awhile ago)
but anyways, I thought when I read the title, it was one of the older men joining but I’m definitely relieved it’s not.
I can maybe see her getting paired with Mark? just because she is young (and I think Bethany is with Val)
No to Duck Dynasty. Their show is beyond fake and is this young lady even a star on the show? I also agree anyone under 18 should not compete. I guess she will not be partnered with Tony. That would never work.
@Jessica I actually think Val is probably gonna get paired up with Janel Parrish. Just a gut instinct. And I am not all that sure that Bethany Mota is the one that was asked to be on the show.. It seems very plausible but I’m still a bit skeptic. We shall see!
I think this Sadie girl is definitely gonna end up with Mark. If not Mark then Derek but I can’t see her with anyone else.
I am with most, no to Duck Dynasty! I don’t even consider her a celeb/star status. Anyways, I think Mark would best suite her, unless he is paired with the you tube star they so want. Not so sure I am liking the list of celebs this season.
Whatever pro gets her basically is going to be very lucky because that show has a lot of fans to begin with and add the Christian vote…..she is going to be there until at least the midway point just based on how far Candace got based on that vote alone. I am already wanting this girl eliminated and the show hasn’t started yet.
I didn’t think you were allowed to announce on social media that someone is joining the cast before the announcement.
Okay then, scratch off 1 alleged rumor as confirmed. I hope that’s not the case for most of the other alleged rumors. Sounds like a weak list so far.
I have watched 2 or 3 episodes of Duck Dynasty but never saw Sadie. The family are hilarious though. I think she’ll be paired with Mark or Derek. As for Val, of course he will get a ringer, as always.
Yeah I think she’s getting paired with Mark.
Maybe the show will take away her offer since the family apparently are idiots and spilled the beans against the rules.
Karen, while I like that idea, I don’t think they would do that. I mean, you saw the mess that they already had with adding Sharna as a pro. If they had to switch someone else… I mean, I know the show has alternates, but still.
@KarenT As Aviva said, as much as I would love for that to happen, it probably won’t, sadly. I remember two seasons ago when Christina Milian’s sister spilled the beans about her being on the show a few days before the announcement and well, nothing happened. Think the show is at the point where they don’t really care anymore.
Also, something I have noticed.. It seems like the female celebs this season (going by the rumored ones of course) are all young, attractive women. LoLo Jones, Sadie, Janel Parrish, Kacy Cantazaro.. and so on. All young, fit, “hot” girls. Maybe there will be some older woman joining the cast that hasn’t been rumored buuut so far, lots of eye candy! 😛
CC(#27)Tmz put out a new list with names, go to dwtsgossip twitter all the six females names are listed and two male names.
jonathan Bennett………Ok then. A little bit of a surprise considering he is basically just known for Mean Girls but that movie is celebrating it’s ten year anniversary or something so that could explain it. Betsey Johnson……Oh gosh this woman is a hoot. Kinda excited for her.
Just saw that list. I think of the six women it’ll be Lolo/Keo and the rest I don’t know.
Tony will get Lea Thompson or Betsy Johnson. I feel like with Derek’s track record of older women, he may very well get Lea Thompson. Sadie/Mark, Janel/Val, Bethany/Artem.
No clue, just fun guessing.
Oh and he also hosts a show on MTV that is pretty amusing in a weird sort of way. It’s basically this: people think they look and sound like a famous singer and they compete against one another. It’s as funny as it sounds.
Have no clue who Jonathan Bennett is and really don’t care, sorry to say. Mean girls was a million years ago.
I hope they have a rabbit being pulled out of a hat for the rest of the male “celebrities” because this cast so far really stinks as far as name recognition and interest. If not, I really will be tuning in for the pros but it’s a partnership, if one side is a dud the whole ship sinks.
I mean Betsy Johnson is 72 for crying out loud. I always feel bad when they pick that much older because it’s a very physical show and you know she’ll probably (and probably Tony) be the first or second to go.
The 17 year-old can’t do sexy dances, it’s not a kids fun dance show.
Some chick from youtube isn’t a star imo.
I’m really bummed the more I think about it. 🙁
I’ve come to the realization that maybe I am getting too old for this show. By reading the potential cast list on DWTSGossip I barely know anyone on this list. I’m so sad.
The only female celeb that I know of is Lea Thompson. I guess 1 out of 6 isn’t bad.
And only Antonio and Tommy for the guys.
I would find it very entertaining if Tommy Chong is actually on the show. I think he would do best with Cheryl and it would be hilarious if Witney got him the switch-up week.
I get that tptb are looking for younger viewers but to alienate your core audience could cost them in the ratings. That age group isn’t the most reliable at being consistent, long-term viewers of any show with a revolving cast, imo. Certainly not as much as older, settled adults.
The one criticism I heartily agree with is there shouldn’t be any more 17-year olds. Otherwise, my feeling is you never know what someone will bring to the show. The pre-cable and pre-internet media world was very contained. Everyone basically knew the same celebrities, because there were just so many outlets for exposure. This is not that world anymore. The media world has been fractured and splintered so much that it’s probably not possible to keep track of everyone who is making some noise/getting some attention in every corner of the media universe. I simply don’t expect to know most of the names that come up. That doesn’t mean they won’t bring a valuable element to the season. The best example for me is Amy Purdy. I had never heard of her before she was named as Derek’s partner. Conversely, I had heard of Meryl Davis, but in retrospect, would have much preferred the season without that which she brought to it (not the dancing part, the showmance part). There’s also no predicting the synergy of a group, and that alchemy can make a definite difference in the character of a season. If the celebs are excited to be doing the show and are well-paired with pros, I’m happy to take a “wait and see” attitude. If it all bombs, I’ll probably be back here writing a different kind of comment.:)
I don’t think they’ll give Mark the same “type” of partner 2 seasons in a row … bit redundant . Derek maybe ?? She comes from a controversial family (thanks to Phil) so might as well give her the most media savvy pro , Derek handles controversy the best .
Just saw that list and WOW! (not really that good of a wow, tbh) Now, either my math is off or I’m just crazy because that is 8 women and we only have 6 male pros, which means two of those names are not true. Wonder which ones…
Only females I recognize from the list are Bethany Mota (I’m 19 years old and I watch more YouTube than actual Television) and Andi Dorfman. I gotta say, I am very excited for Bethany. As I said on another post, YouTube is growing every day and getting more and more recognition. She is already my favorite out of all the ladies (though I also like Lolo Jones a lot).
I didn’t recognize Tommy Chong at first but then I watched a That 70s Show episode and DUH! Love that guy! Excited to see him dance! And I do like Jonathan Bennett and Antonio Sabato Jr. as well! So I am more excited about the males … lol
If I had to guess I would say Sadie/Mark , Lolo/Keo, Janel/Val , Bethany/Derek , Lea/Artem , Betsey/Tony (which means Andi and Kacy aren’t actually in .. which is what I would hope for).
And then for the guys I would say Jonathan/Peta , Tommy/Cheryl and (this being wishful thinking) Antonio/Emma 😛
@CC- Like you, I think that Andy & Kacy aren’t in. Didn’t TMZ just say they were on the producer’s ‘wish list?” These rumors seems like they are more likely of being true. Or that could be wishful thinking. 🙂
@34- I only know 2 of the 6. Janel and Bethany. Out of the 8, I also knew Kacy & Andi.
Candace also had the full house vote going for her. Duck Dynasty doesn’t even touch that. The two women can’t logically be compared.
I sure hope they don’t pair Derek with Sadie. 🙁 Lots of people like Duck Dynasty. My almost 16 year old niece LOVES that show. Just loves it! I’ve seen a few episodes. Not my cup of tea. I’d like to see Betsey with Derek maybe…sure she’s 72 but she’s in pretty good shape for her age. then the haters can hate ALL they want! Or give him Lea Thompson.
The company (Duck Commander) pretty much confirmed this. I am a DD fan but more so the guys that are funny to me. However another confirmation for me this is true is her grandma (not the one on the show her moms mom) is the kids’ tutor when they miss school due to filming/speaking. And her mom posted something on instagram with Sadie and her grandma that make me think she’s already tutoring her so she’s already practicing. I have followed Sadie on twitter and I know during a previous sets Derek was her favorite and she’s his height. (Think Kellie Pickler.
In all honesty she’s really the only one I know. Sets is really reaching. I get that most on their show aren’t everyday in the news Celebs but wow!!
Looking at these comments she won’t last long BUT the show has a huge following. Heck she has a big enough family to vote that’ll keep her there a few weeks maybe (joking)!!
Sadie may very well be a nice girl, but she’s barely a reality star. Surely if the producers could have gotten someone more known if they wanted a teen star.
Anyone know how tall Sadie Robertson is? I think it’s most likely she’d be paired with Mark given her age, but if she’s too tall, maybe Val. Artem is possible in my mind too. Derek’s never gotten a teenager, so I don’t think it’s a likely match.
Sadie is 5″5′ (or 5″6′)
Derek danced with Shawn Johnson when she was 20, Mark danced with her when she was 18…
@Ashley L #32: I have a feeling that Jonathan Bennett is partly to draw in the young crowd. Speaking as a teenager, almost all of my friends have seen Mean Girls at least 3 times, and they can all quote the movie verbatim. So if the producers are targeting a young audience, Jonathan is the right guy for them!
Susan #36: +1!
General comment: I didn’t realize there were eight females on the list. It kind of makes sense, considering the number of rumors we heard earlier in the season. Remember back when Tim Howard was a rumor?
