Elle King Opens Up About Relationship with Father

In a recent social media outburst, actor and comedian Rob Schneider expressed his discontent with the Olympics opening ceremony, which he claimed disrespected Christianity. Schneider took to X (formerly Twitter) to voice his outrage over a tableau that he interpreted as a reimagining of Leonardo da Vinci’s “The Last Supper,” featuring drag queens and other flamboyant figures instead of traditional biblical characters. He stated, “I cannot watch an Olympics that disrespects Christianity and openly celebrates Satan,” and expressed a wish for the event to receive minimal viewership. In a separate discussion, Schneider's daughter, actress and comedian Elle King, shared her complicated relationship with her father. Reflecting on her childhood, King revealed that she felt disconnected from Schneider, only forming a bond with him later in life. She recounted her experiences on movie sets, where she often felt overlooked and faced criticism for her behavior, which contributed to her feelings of estrangement. King also touched on her father's disapproval of her self-expression, particularly regarding her tattoos. She described the challenges of growing up under Schneider's strict views, stating that she had to hide her tattoos due to his beliefs. Ultimately, King has no intention of reconciling with her father, emphasizing her desire to distance herself from him. She articulated a broader message about the limits of control in relationships, asserting that one can only manage their own reactions and feelings in the face of another's actions.
