Country singer Elle King went on Bunnie Xo’s Dumb Blonde podcast, and she did not hold back on her fraught relationship with her dad, Rob Schneider. “I go four or five years without talking to my dad,” she said. King lived with her mother and stepfather in Ohio for most of her childhood.
“If I would ever spend a summer with my dad it would be on a movie set,” she said. “I would just get lost in the shuffle. If I ever messed up a shot, if I ever was talking, I would get in fucking trouble.
” King says that she and Schneider didn’t really connect until she was an adult. Part of this was because, according to her, she was a “really, really heavy child.” She claims Schneider sent her to fat camp as a kid, and was angry the summer she sprained her ankle and thus didn’t lose weight: “Very toxic and very silly.
” Elle King also took pains to distance herself politically from the MAGA-fied Schneider. ““You’re talking out of your ass and you’re talking shit about drag and, you know, anti-gay rights and it’s like ‘Get fucked,” she said. “I want to use this opportunity to say that I disagree.
I do not agree with what he says.” OUT TOMORROW on patre0n & Monday everywhere else 🎙️👱♀️ my sister @Elle King doesnt hold back! She addresses everything #elleking.
