HuffPost
The Grammy-nominated country singer did not hold back.
Elle King isn’t sparing details with regard to the “toxic” relationship she says she’s had with her famous father, Rob Schneider, over the years.
A teaser clip of King’s appearance on the “Dumb Blonde” podcast Monday shows the country singer recalling how Schneider kept his distance from her as a child and was heavily critical of her appearance.
“I go for like four or five years without talking to my dad,” King said. “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.”
Describing herself as “a really, really, heavy child,” she claimed that Schneider sent her to a “fat camp,” and later urged her to cover up because he didn’t approve of her tattoos. She also said that her dad “forgot about every single birthday,” including when she turned 18.
“Very toxic and very silly,” she added.
