Elle King claims that her father, actor Rob Schneider, sent her to “obesity camp” as a child.
“I was a really fat kid. My dad sent me to obesity camp,” she revealed in a teaser clip for Bunny Zo’s “Dumb Blonde” podcast.
“Then one year I sprained my ankle and I had trouble losing weight. It was very harmful and very stupid.”
The “Ex’s & Oh’s” singer, 35, then spoke about his strained relationship with the “Deuce Bigalow” actor, 60, saying he hadn’t spoken to him for “four or five years” because of his opinions on social issues.
“I don’t agree with a lot of the things he says. You say stuff that’s baseless, you say crap about drugs and anti-gay rights and it’s like, f**k you,” she said.
“He’s just talking bullshit and I would say no to this opportunity. I don’t agree with what he’s saying.”
A representative for Schneider declined to comment to Page Six.
Back in June, we exclusively reported that Schneider claimed cancel culture was “over” after being booed for making an offensive joke during a previous show.
On June 1, the “Hot Chick” star was booed during a comedy show at a fundraiser for a Canadian hospital for making “transphobic, misogynistic and anti-vaccine” jokes.
“Everyone in the room was groaning and saying, ‘What’s going on?’ and it was like they were talking to themselves,” guest Tynan Allan told CBC at the time.
“At times there was no laughter at all. It was very clear how uncomfortable people felt and how unacceptable what he was saying was,” Alan added.
The hospital later released a statement condemning Schneider’s joke.
“While we recognize that in a free and democratic society, individuals are entitled to their own views and opinions and that comedy can be edgy, the content, positions and opinions expressed during Mr. Schneider’s performance are not consistent with the values of our foundation and team,” the Regina Hospital Foundation said.
“We do not condone, accept, support or share the position expressed by Mr. Schneider during the comedy show and acknowledge that the performance did not meet the expectations of the audience and our team.”
Schneider has been criticized for his political views on several occasions in the past.
In July 2021, the comedian called COVID-19 vaccines “experimental gene therapy.”
“Just keep saying no… and keep saying no,” he tweeted at the time. “Over half the US population continues to say no to this unapproved experimental gene therapy!”
And in April, Schneider’s comedy show at a Republican event was reportedly cut short due to his offensive jokes.
However, the former “Saturday Night Live” star refuted the claims, insisting that he performed the full 50-minute session.
“I’m not going to change my material or apologize to anyone for my jokes. Enough with this woke drivel, America has had enough,” he told TMZ at the time.
“I played for 50 minutes because that was my payment. Nobody took me off the stage. Someone waved me down at the end of the 50 minutes.”
