Elle King shared her fraught relationship with her father, Rob Schneider, on Bunnie XO’s “Dumb Blonde” podcast. King criticized Schneider’s negative views on drag and the LGBTQ community, disagreeing with his statements. Schneider had previously expressed outrage over the Olympics opening ceremony featuring drag queens, calling it disrespectful to Christianity and celebrating Satan. King revealed that she and her father were not close when she was younger and only connected when she was older, often feeling overlooked on movie sets where they spent time together.
The tension between them stemmed from King’s weight and tattoos, with her father sending her to fat camp and disapproving of her tattoos. King expressed that she doesn’t plan to repair the relationship with Schneider, as he is not a nice person and she doesn’t want to be associated with him. She emphasized the importance of controlling one’s actions and reactions, acknowledging that she can’t change someone else’s behavior. Schneider’s representative declined to comment on the matter. King’s openness about her relationship with her father sheds light on the complexities of family dynamics and personal boundaries.
