Elle King isnt sparing details with regard to the toxic relationship she says shes had with her famous father, Rob Schneider , over the years.

A teaser clip of Kings 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 didnt 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.

A three-time Emmy nominee, Schneider rose to prominence as both a cast member and writer on Saturday Night Live from 1988 to 1994. He then parlayed his SNL success into feature films like Deuce Bigelow: Male Gigolo and The Hot Chick.

In recent years , however, Schneider has repeatedly made headlines for his political views. Though the actor and comedian has described himself as a classic liberal, he has railed against vaccine mandates and backed other causes typically aligned with conservative voters.
