Elle King was sent to "fat camp" by her father Rob Schneider. The 35-year-old singer has revealed she was a "really heavy child" and her actor dad tried to help her shed the pounds by sending her away to attend special weight loss treatment program - and she got in trouble when she suffered an injury which hampered her efforts to slim down. During an appearance on Bunnie Xo's Dumb Blonde podcast, Elle explained: "I was, like, a really, really heavy child.
My dad sent me to fat camp. And then I got in trouble one year because I sprained my ankle and I didn't lose any weight. Very toxic and very silly.
" She went on to open up about her difficult relationship with her actor father admitting they went "four or five years without talking". King added: "I disagree with a lot of the things that he says. You're talking out of your ass and you're talking s*** about drag and, you know, anti-gay rights .
.. "He's just talking out of his ass and I want to use this opportunity to say that I disagree.
I do not agree with what he says." Schneider and King's mother London King divorced in 1990 and she was raised by her mother and stepfather in Ohio. The singer had a strained relationship with The Waterboy star as a child and only reconnected with him as an adult.
She added of their turbulent relationship: "If I would ever spend a summer with my dad it would be on a movie set. I would just get lost in the shuffle. If I ever messed up a shot, if I ever was talking, I would get in .
