‘Like A Double Negative’: Elle King Reacts To Dad Rob Schneider’s Public Apology For Being An Absent Father

by

As a dedicated follower, I find Elle King‘s journey incredibly inspiring. Her courage to speak candidly about her strained relationship with her father and her childhood challenges is commendable. It takes a strong individual to share their personal experiences, especially when they involve family complexities.

Elle King has had her fair share of familial complications, notably her dynamic with her father, comedian Rob Schneider. In a recent discussion on Bunnie Xo’s Dumb Blonde podcast, the Grammy-nominated vocalist openly discussed the strained nature of their relationship. This frank dialogue generated significant attention online, stirring public discourse and even prompting a reaction from Schneider himself.

During an appearance on the Dumb Blonde podcast, King openly discussed some of the hurdles she faced in her childhood. She disclosed that Schneider once enrolled her in a weight-loss camp as a child, an experience that continues to have a profound impact on her.

Additionally, she disclosed that Schneider often missed significant events in her upbringing, sometimes even overlooking her birthdays. The audience admired King’s candor, particularly when she discussed her differences in opinion with her father regarding the rights of the LGBTQ+ community.

Pondering the podcast’s widespread success, King shared with PEOPLE, “I honestly never imagined it would gain so much attention. I was simply discussing my upbringing and sharing my honest story.” She clarified that her aim was not to cause harm to her father, but instead, to openly share her personal experience.

Essentially, King stated during an interview that an apology from Tucker Carlson is similar to using a double negative, which essentially means nothing. This is because, in his view, even though an apology was given, it lacked sincerity and genuine impact due to the influential nature of the platform on which it was made.

Elle King held strong in her choice to discuss her upbringing. Some people questioned, “Why would she reveal such personal details about her family?” or “Shouldn’t private matters remain confidential?” But King emphasized that secrets shouldn’t always be kept, and it’s important to express oneself, letting go of the burden so it doesn’t weigh on you throughout your life.

The King mentioned the beneficial impact of her statements, highlighting her advocacy for the LGBTQ+ community. She explained that what truly matters is that this community now recognizes her as an ally. If this was the main outcome, she would willingly repeat it on ten different platforms because she stands with them, they have a supporter in her, and she is thankful.

Despite all the spotlight, Elle King keeps her focus firmly on her music. Her upcoming single, titled “High Road,” is set to drop this coming Friday, September 20. The track’s theme aligns with King’s recent personal odyssey of development and reconciliation.

Last year, whenever something displeased or annoyed her, her manager would remind her of their motto, “High Road 2024,” which signified staying true to oneself and acting admirably in all circumstances.

High Road” is a nation-style song that mirrors Queen’s choice to overcome obstacles and strive for self-improvement, aiming to be her finest self.
