Elle King did not hold back when discussing her strained relationship with her father, Rob Schneider.
In a teaser clip for an upcoming episode of Bunnie Xo’s Dumb Blonde podcast, the “Ex’s & Oh’s” singer reflected on her upbringing with Schneider, 60, revealing that he sent her to a fat camp as a child.
“I was, like, a really, really heavy child. My dad sent me to fat camp,” King shared. “And then I got in trouble one year because I sprained my ankle and didn’t lose any weight… Very toxic and very silly.”
The 35-year-old, whose mother is Rob’s first wife, London King, often spent summers with the Saturday Night Live alum, including movie sets.
“I went four or five years without talking to my dad,” King said. “If I ever spent a summer with him, it would be on a movie set. I would just get lost in the shuffle.”
The actor, commonly seen in movies with Adam Sandler, was often critical of her appearance and kept his distance from her, both physically and emotionally, during her childhood.
“My dad forgot about every single birthday,” King added. “I spent my 18th birthday in a summer school, where they brought me cupcakes. When I came home, my dad had forgotten my birthday.”
