Count musician Elle King among the people who have no time for Rob Schneider. In a teaser TikTok for Bunnie XO’s Dumb Blonde podcast, King accused her comic father of yapping out of his butt — and not the funny way Jim Carrey did it in Ace Ventura: Pet Detective.
“I disagree with a lot of the things that he says,” King said about her dad’s loudmouth opinions. “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.”
Need a few examples? When he’s not shouting “You can do it!” in Adam Sandler movies, Schneider can often be found on social media beating his newly Christian chest. Here, for example, is what the Hot Chick star recently had to say about the Olympics: “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 tweeted. “I sincerely hope these Olympics get the same amount of viewers as CSPAN.”

Nasty CSPAN burn! But Schneider wasn’t finished with his roast: “Guys with their genitalia hanging out in front of children?! Drag Queens?! I wasn’t sure if I was watching the Olympics or if I was watching a school board meeting.”
If you haven’t already guessed, Schneider, a parent who “forgot every single birthday,” wasn’t up for any Father of the Year awards. “I was like a really, really heavy child,” King said. “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. Very toxic.”
When King wasn’t at camp? “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,” she explained. Not a great place for a kid, where simply speaking at the wrong time can ruin a shot. “If I ever was talking, I would get in fucking trouble.”
Things haven’t gotten better over the years, with King proclaiming she “doesn’t want to be associated” with Schneider. They’ve gone as long as five years without speaking to one another. “He’s just not nice. You can want someone to change so much. You can’t control anyone else’s actions and you can’t control people’s feelings,” she argued. “All you can control is how you react and what you do with your feelings.”
How does Schneider feel about King’s latest criticism? He has yet to weigh in publicly (keep an eye on that very active Twitter feed, folks), but he has phoned his daughter in the past to complain about her interviews: “Don’t fucking talk about me in the press!”
King’s response? “Get fucked.”
