Rob Schneider seeks forgiveness from daughter Elle King
A public plea for reconciliation
In a recent interview, Rob Schneider made a heartfelt plea for forgiveness from his daughter, the singer Elle King. This comes after King openly criticized Schneider on the “Dumb Blonde” podcast hosted by Bunnie XO, where she discussed their strained relationship and her disapproval of his recent anti-drag and anti-LGBTQ comments.
“It’s fun being a parent, isn’t it?” Schneider remarked during his interview with Tucker Carlson. “Well, I just want to tell my daughter, Elle, I love you and I wish I was the father in my 20s that you needed. Clearly, I wasn’t. I hope you can forgive me for my shortcomings. I love you completely and I love you entirely.”
A father’s remorse
Schneider continued, expressing his desire for his daughter’s happiness and well-being. “I just want you to be well and happy with you and your beautiful baby, Lucky,” he added. “I wish you the best. I feel terrible. I just want you to know I don’t take anything you say personally.”
When Carlson asked how Schneider managed to refrain from retaliating against his daughter’s harsh words, he responded, “If you love someone completely… I love her, all I want for her is to be happy and to heal from this.”
Controversial views and public backlash
Schneider has faced significant backlash in Hollywood for his increasingly conservative views. During the Olympics in late July, he took to social media to criticize the opening ceremony, which he believed was disrespectful to Christianity.
“I am sorry to say to all the world’s greatest athletes, I wish you all the best, but I cannot watch an Olympics that disrespects Christianity and openly celebrates Satan,” Schneider wrote. “I sincerely hope these Olympics get the same amount of viewers as CSPAN.”
Elle King’s perspective
King, who has been vocal about her disagreements with her father, shared her thoughts on the podcast. “You’re talking out of your ass and you’re talking shit about drag and, you know, anti-gay rights. And it’s like, get fucked,” she said.
King also revealed that she was not close to her father growing up and only connected with him much later in life. She recounted her experiences as a child, including being sent to fat camp and facing criticism for her appearance.
“I was like a really, really heavy child. My dad sent me to fat camp… and then I got in trouble one year because I sprained my ankle and didn’t lose any weight,” King explained. “I had already started getting tattooed and it was like 108 degrees. So I had to wear sweaters because my dad was very anti-tattoos or any form of self-expression.”
A strained relationship
Despite Schneider’s public plea for forgiveness, King has made it clear that she is not interested in repairing their relationship. “I don’t want to be associated with him because he’s just not nice,” she stated.
