Elle King Says She Wasn’t “Trying to Hurt” Dad Rob Schneider With Comments About Their Relationship

As a fervent supporter of authenticity and openness, I wholeheartedly applaud Elle King for her courage to share her truth about her relationship with her father, Rob Schneider. Her words resonate deeply with me, as I believe that healing and growth often stem from confronting and expressing our emotions, even when it might be uncomfortable or controversial.


Elle King was taken aback when the remarks she made about her relationship with father Rob Schneider received the level of attention they did, spreading widely online.

The artist shared with People magazine that she could hardly imagine their work would gain such widespread popularity.

She shared with the media about her past experiences and her honest feelings, clarifying she didn’t intend to cause harm. Many commented, “How could she reveal family secrets?” or “These matters should remain private.” However, she believes that at times, it is necessary to express oneself openly, so as not to bear the burden for the rest of one’s life.

In her interview on Bunnie XO’s podcast “Dumb Blonde” last August, King revealed that her relationship with Schneider was “toxic” and not going well at the moment, largely due to their differing views on gay rights and politics. Schneider had minimal influence in her life during her upbringing, and when he did, it often involved sending her to weight loss camps or criticizing her weight.

Based on the singer’s remarks during the podcast, the contentious actor expressed regret towards his daughter during his appearance on Tucker Carlson’s show. He emphasized that he deeply cares for her and regretted not being able to be the father figure she required in her twenties.

He expressed, “I truly hope the best for you. I must admit, I’m feeling quite upset, but please understand that whatever you say doesn’t reflect on me personally. I believe this moment in time is a blessing from God, allowing me to tell you something very important – I love you, I accept you just as you are, and I’m sorry for any mistakes I might have made.

In a recent interview with People magazine, King made clear her thoughts about the matter. Essentially, she stated that an apology from Tucker Carlson would be similar to saying “not not true,” or in other words, meaningless.

The singer known for “Drunk (and I Don’t Want to Go Home)” expresses satisfaction that her podcast interview ignited discussions on the topic of being a supportive friend or supporter.

King stated, ‘The most remarkable outcome from that event is that my strong LGBTQ+ community recognizes me as an ally.’ If this is the main benefit of the platform, then I would gladly repeat it a dozen times more because I stand as an ally for them. I am thankful to have this role.
