Elle King, born Tanner Elle Schneider has been forthright about her relationship with her father, Rob Schneider, frequently characterizing it as difficult and strained. Nevertheless, in recent years, both she and the comedian have endeavored to repair their relationship.
Elle has occasionally acknowledged her father’s influence on her life and work, despite the challenges they have encountered in the past, and the father-daughter duo has been observed publicly supporting each other’s careers.
Elle King is once again discussing her relationship with Rob Schneider in a preview clip for an upcoming episode of “Bunnie Xo’s Dumb Blonde” podcast. She also reflects on her childhood and discloses that her father sent her to a “fat camp” when she was young.
Rob Schneider and Elle King’s Relationship: An Inside Look
Rob Schneider’s hectic professional life frequently prevented him from visiting her during her childhood, which exacerbated their strained relationship. In fact, she stated that she did not communicate with her father for “four or five years.”
“If I were to spend a summer with my father, it would be on a movie set,” she stated during the podcast. “I would be lost in the shuffle.” “I would be in serious trouble if I ever missed a shot or was in a conversation.”
The “Exes & Ohs” singer also recollected that her father neglected to remember each and every birthday. I was treated to cupcakes at a summer school on my 18th birthday, and upon my return home, my father neglected to acknowledge my birthday.
Elle King was purportedly sent to a “fat camp” by Rob Schneider.
The country music singer recalled, “I was, like, a really, really heavy child. My dad sent me to fat camp.”
She added, “And then I got in trouble one year because I sprained my ankle and I didn’t lose any weight. Very toxic and very silly.”
Elle was raised mainly by her mother, former model London King following her parents’ divorce shortly after her birth. “We really weren’t even speaking…,” she said on the latest episode of the “Off the Vine” podcast with Kaitlyn Bristowe last week of her relationship with her dad. “I was a lot closer with my mom’s family in Ohio, and so I just have always gone by my mom’s last name.”
“My mom was the one, you know, carrying my guitar and sneaking me into bars, and letting me stay out with my friends and taking the guitar home for me,” she told Bristowe. “My mom was always just, like, telling me to take lessons, and she would drive me everywhere. And she took care of me and always made sure that I had some form of a creative outlet.”
Elle King Discusses Her Relationship with Her Father
The 35-year-old began getting tattoos at a young age, and since her dad was very “anti-tattoos,” she was forced to wear sweaters in 100-degree weather.
“I disagree with a lot of the things that he says,” she said in the “Bunnie Xo’s Dumb Blonde” podcast preview. “You’re talking out of your a– and you’re talking sh-t about drag and, you know, anti-gay rights and it’s like get f-cked. He’s just talking out of his a– and I want to use this opportunity to say that I disagree. I do not agree with what he says.”
‘Exes & Ohs’ Singer Reflects on Her Childhood
Elle has previously spoken about her desire to establish her own identity separate from her famous parents. In a 2023 interview with People Magazine, she discussed her determination to make a name for herself on her own terms.
“Growing up as somebody who was chubby, awkward, funny, has OCD and is weird and quirky and awkward but super sensitive, I had to really fight to be OK as myself. So I didn’t want to be known as someone’s kid,” she admitted. “I wanted to be my own person. I never wanted to borrow money from anybody, and I’ve worked hard for my family and for me. I want to have a life built for myself, and I want to know that I did it.”
Elle King Discusses Her Childhood in the Shadow of Rob Schneider
The 35-year-old also stated that being in the “shadow” of someone is “an incredible amount of pressure.”
“She said, ‘God forbid you are talented in something that occurs and may have been passed down through your family.'” “My stage presence and showmanship?” Certainly, I observed my father as I grew up. A theater or a small comedy club can be entirely under my father’s control. Additionally, I was raised in the company of individuals who were both talented and creative, as well as quite humorous.
She concluded, “It is inevitable that this will leave an impression on me.”
