Elle King isnt 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 doesnt, the four-time Grammy nominee said. Sometimes you have to just say things and get them off your chest so that you dont have to carry it for the rest of your life.

In her Dumb Blonde chat, King called out Schneider for criticizing her appearance and sending her to a fat camp as a child. She also described their relationship as very toxic and said her father forgot about every single birthday, including when she turned 18.

Later in the conversation, she distanced herself from Schneiders political stance , noting: I do not agree with what he says.
