ROB Schneider has been spotted looking somber while strolling Los Angeles alone after daughter Elle King’s shocking claims about him.
The country/rock singer appeared on Jelly Roll‘s wife, BunnieXo’s podcast to discuss her strained relationship with her famous father.
Rob, 60, stepped out for a trip to Erewhon in Studio City, California.
He wore a dark gray suit jacket, light gray dress pants, and a black and gray checkered longsleeved shirt with a fedora on his head.
The comic sipped a green beverage as he walked and carried a white grocery bag in his hand.
He appeared stoic during the outing, with a relatively blank expression on his face.
Days before the sighting, Elle, 35, appeared on the Dumb Blonde podcast, where she chatted about her relationship with her father.
NOT SO CLOSE
She revealed on the show that they had a complicated relationship stemming from her childhood.
The Ex’s & Oh’s singer revealed that she spent a lot of time on movie sets, where she would “just get lost in the shuffle.”
Elle went on to claim that Rob sent her to a “fat camp” when she was a teen, which was really difficult for her.
“I was a really, really heavy child, and my dad sent me to fat camp,” she revealed on the podcast.
“Then I got in trouble one year because I sprained my ankle and didn’t lose any weight – very toxic and silly.”
According to Elle, Rob would frequently forget important dates, which also hurt her.
“My dad forgot every single birthday,” she said.
“I spent my 18th birthday in a summer school, and they brought me cupcakes. I came home, and my dad forgot my birthday.”
Rob Schneider’s Wives
Rob Schneider is known for being a comedian who went on to appear in several popular films. For many years, he kept his private life out of the spotlight until he began sharing controversial personal opinions online. Since then, his daughter Elle King – his only child – has spoken out against him, claiming she does not agree with her father. While Rob has only one child, he has been married many times.
Here’s a look at Rob Schneider’s wives:
- London King – 1988-1990
- Helena Schneider – 2002-2005
- Patricia Azarcoya Schneider – 2011
According to the singer, “I go four or five years without talking to my dad.”
“My dad called me and was like, ‘Don’t f**king talk about me in the press.’ I was like, ‘Get f**ked’.”
She added, “I don’t want to be associated with him. He’s just not nice.”
“I disagree with a lot of the things he says,” she said if her father’s controversial views.
“You’re talking out your a**, and you’re talking s**t about drag and gay rights – get f**ked.”
FEELING ASHAMED
While she’s not under fire this time, Elle is no stranger to controversy.
In January, she performed at Dolly Parton‘s 78th birthday celebration at the Grand Ole Opry.
During the show, Elle revealed to the crowd that she was drunk, which sparked backlash online.
Months later, in May, she appeared on Chelsea Handler‘s podcast, opening up about the controversial moment and why it took her so long to address it.
“I haven’t spoken about it, because, one, I had to just chill. It was a big deal,” she said.
“I had been going through something very heavy and traumatic in my life at the time.”
She went on, “And that day was a really big day dealing with what I was going through, and that I’m still going through, and I suffer from severe PTSD.”
Elle added that she hadn’t eaten or slept the day of the show and was “a shell of herself” by the time she took the stage.
Additionally, she was told at the last second that she would be headlining, which she said started out “f**king perfect.”
She had “one shot too many,” however, and knew she was “not there in her body.”
After the show, she shared, she cried on the floor of her dressing room.
The musician added that she was “mortified” by clips from the moment she told the crowd she was under the influence.
Elle shared with Chelsea that despite the backlash online, Dolly, 78, called her a short time after and had nothing but “kind words” for her.
“Dolly’s not mad at you, why should the world be?” the Jolene singer reportedly told her.
After some time Elle said she simply had to “remove herself from the population for a while.”
“Regardless of what I was doing in my life and what was happening to me, I don’t feel like I owe to anybody in the f**king world to try and explain,” she added.
“I also don’t think that it does excuse the fact that maybe I shouldn’t have f**king been drinking.”
Elle apologized to anyone she offended via the performance, admitting, “This is a sacred stage and I f**ked up.”
“So, for all the people who are asking for an apology from me, hey, if you were there that night and I didn’t get a chance to say I’m sorry to you, I apologize.”
