She’s not her dad’s sweetheart.
Elle King 35, talked about the complicated relationship she’s had with her dad Rob Schneider since she was a kid in an edited teaser for Monday’s episode of Bunnie XO’s “Dumb Blonde” podcast.
“I got four or five years without talking to my dad,” the “America’s Sweetheart” singer, 35, said in the clip shared Saturday.
“I put out my record and people finally started asking me about my dad. My dad called me and was like, ‘Don’t f**king talk about me in the press.’ “
King is the daughter of Schneider, 60, and former model London King, who got divorced the year after King was born in 1989.
The “Ex’s & Oh’s” singer said in the teaser clip she couldn’t connect with her famous father until she “was much, much older.”
“I was, like, a really, really heavy child. My dad sent me to fat camp,” she continued. “And then I got in trouble one year because I sprained my ankle and I didn’t lose any weight.”
The clip then cut to King saying, “very toxic and very silly.”
“I disagree with a lot of the things that he says,” she said about her father.
“You’re talking out of your a– and you’re talking s–t about drag and, you know, anti-gay rights and it’s like get f–ked,” she continued, seemingly referring to the former “Saturday Night Live” star.
King added: “He’s just talking out of his a– and I want to use this opportunity to say that I disagree. I do not agree with what he says.”
The Grammy Award nominee also said Schneider “never helped me. I never wanted his help.”
“He also didn’t have a very good reputation,” she went on. “I don’t want to be associated with him. He’s just not nice. You can want someone to change so much. You can’t control anyone else’s actions. You can’t control anyone else’s feelings. All you can control is how you react and what you do with your feelings.”
“And sometimes I f–king boil up and I boil over and I f–king bust my lid.”
King also claimed her dad “forgot about every single birthday.”
“I spent my 18th birthday in a summer school and they brought me cupcakes and I came home and my dad forgot my birthday,” she recalled.
The Post has reached out to Schneider’s rep for comment.
King grew up mostly estranged from her dad and has talked about their turbulent relationship before.
“My whole childhood, my dad was a workaholic,” King told PEOPLE in 2018.
But King said that after her divorce from ex-husband Andrew Ferguson in 2017, she reconnected with her dad because of her half-sisters Miranda, 11, and Madeline, 7, whom Schneider shares with his wife Patricia Azarcoya Arce.
“We both have grown up a lot. And you realize what’s important,” the singer told PEOPLE. “Him having children — I wanted my sisters to have good memories of me from their childhood when they grew. Family really is so important.”
“So through that, me just kind of showing up and trying to be good for them, really made it easy because there were no bad motives,” she continued. “When it’s about the kids, the bulls–t kind of goes away. I love him.”
Schneider, for his part, has mostly avoided talking about his relationship with King over the years — but he did share an Instagram tribute to his oldest daughter on her birthday last July.
“I’m blown away by your incredible spirit, determination and amazing talent!” Schneider wrote about King. “You are such a huge inspiration to me and your sisters and Paty! We love you and can’t wait to see you and hug you soon!”
