Breaking: Elle King Revealed She Doesn’t Want To Be “Associated” With Her Dad, Rob Schneider, Because He Is “Not Nice”…See More

“You can want someone to change so much. You can’t control anyone else’s actions, you can’t control people’s feelings.”

Singer Elle King got brutally honest about her complicated relationship with her famous father.

Elle is the child of former model London King and comedian Rob Schneider.

She’s talked in the past about how she and her dad have been estranged at different points in her life. Now, appearing on this week’s episode of Bunnie XO’s Dumb Blonde podcast, the “Ex’s & Oh’s” singer didn’t hold back in criticizing him while describing their “toxic” dynamic.

When prompted to talk about her dad, Elle said that she and Rob could go “four or five years” without speaking. She also said she’s received angry phone calls from him in the past when she’s talked about their relationship publicly.

Recalling her upbringing, Elle said that the only summers she spent with her dad as a child were on movie sets, where she’d “just get lost in the shuffle.”

“If I ever messed up a shot, if I ever was talking, I would get in fucking trouble,” she said, noting that they didn’t connect as father and daughter until she was “much older.”

Talking more about her childhood, the 35-year-old also recalled being body-shamed by her dad and sent to a “fat camp” to lose weight.

was, like, a really, really heavy child. My dad sent me to fat camp,” she said. “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.”

“My dad was very anti-tattoos, or like, any form of self-expression that differed from what he wanted,” she added, remembering that he allegedly forced her to wear sweaters, even in hot weather, to cover her body when she started getting tattoos on visible parts of her body.

Earlier this month, Elle weighed in on the “nepo baby” debate and said she doesn’t feel she benefited from nepotism in her career because she and her dad “weren’t even speaking” when she got signed to her music label.

When the topic was discussed again on the Dumb Blonde podcast, Elle doubled down, saying that he “never” helped her and that she didn’t want his help either.

“He also didn’t have a very good reputation… I don’t wanna be associated with him,” she said, claiming that he’s “not nice.”

“You can want someone to change so much. You can’t control anyone else’s actions, you can’t control people’s feelings,” she also added. “All you can control is how you react and what you do with your feelings. And sometimes I fucking boil up, and I boil over, and I fucking bust my lid.”
