Elle King Dismisses Dad Rob Schneider's Apology For 'Toxic' Behavior
HuffPost
The Grammy-nominated musician previously called out her famous father for sending her to a "fat camp" as a child.
Elle King isn’t ready to forgive her famous father, Rob Schneider, for his past actions just yet.
In an interview with People published Thursday, the country singer-songwriter said she “was not trying to hurt” Schneider when she shared troubling details about their relationship during an appearance on the “Dumb Blonde” podcast last month.
“I never in a million years thought that that was going to go viral,” she told the outlet. “I was just speaking about my childhood and about my truth.”
And though her initial remarks about her dad appeared in seemingly countless headlines, King has no regrets about speaking out.
“A lot of people said, ‘How could she say that about her family?’ and ‘Everything needs to be behind closed doors.’ No, it doesn’t,” the four-time Grammy nominee said. “Sometimes you have to just say things and get them off your chest so that you don’t have to carry it for the rest of your life.”
