“Elle King Exposes Shocking Family Secrets: The Truth Behind Her Turbulent Bond with Dad Rob Schneider”
Speaking on the Dumb Blonde podcast hosted by BunnieXO, the 35-year-old revealed she hasn’t spoken to her dad in “four or five years.”
“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. If I ever messed up a shot, if I ever was talking, I would get in f**** trouble,” Elle recalled.
The Ex’s & Oh’s singer appeared in her dad’s 1999 film Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo.
She also shared that her father “forgot about every single birthday.”

“I spent my 18th birthday in a summer school, and they brought me cupcakes, and I came home, and my dad forgot my birthday.”
Part of the reason why she doesn’t get along with Rob is his alleged opinions on social issues, which differ significantly from hers.
“I disagree with a lot of the things that he says. You’re talking out of your a**, and you’re talking s*** about drag and, you know, anti-gay rights, and it’s like get f****. 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.”
