As a strong advocate for truth, self-expression, and the LGBTQ+ community, I wholeheartedly support Elle King’s decision to speak out about her personal experiences and her stance against intolerance. Her courage to share her story, especially when it comes to challenging her father’s controversial views, is commendable.
Prior to the launch of her new single “High Road,” Elle King clarified to People magazine that her outspoken criticism against her father, Rob Schneider, over his “anti-gay” views last August wasn’t intended to cause him harm. The singer behind “Ex’s & Oh’s” gained attention for her candid interview on Bunnie XO’s “Dumb Blonde” podcast where she openly criticized Schneider for his recent anti-drag and anti-LGBTQ remarks. She publicly discussed their strained childhood relationship and expressed no desire to engage with him at the moment.
King told People he could have never imagined his words would become viral. He was simply sharing stories from his childhood and expressing personal truths, not intending to cause harm.
She asserted, “Many folks wondered, ‘How could she make such remarks about her kin?’ and ‘Matters should remain private.’ Yet, she insisted, that’s not always the case. Sometimes, one must express their feelings openly to release the burden, rather than keeping it with you forever. However, I believe an apology on Tucker Carlson is similar to a double negative – essentially meaningless.
During his conversation with Tucker Carlson, Schneider apologized to King, although it seems that King may not have a favorable opinion of Carlson.
Let me express something to Elle, my dear daughter. I simply want you to understand that I have a deep love for you, and if given the chance, I would’ve been the father you needed in my twenties. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case. I sincerely hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me for falling short. I adore you wholeheartedly, and I cherish every part of you.
Over the past few years, Schneider has drawn criticism in Hollywood due to his conservative perspectives. During the Olympics in July, he expressed his disapproval on X (previously known as Twitter) about the opening ceremony’s display that he perceived as reenacting “The Last Supper” with drag performers.
It appears King strongly objected to this viewpoint, as she informed Bunnie XO that she “does not align with much of what Schneider expresses,” further stating, “You’re speaking without knowledge and spreading negativity about drag and, moreover, anti-LGBTQ+ rights. Essentially, you should reconsider your statements.
In her conversation with People magazine, King expressed that she has no regrets about speaking up since “the most valuable outcome was that my strong LGBTQ+ community now recognizes me as an ally. If this is the greatest result of using that platform, then I’d gladly do it again and again because I stand as an ally, they have one in me, and I am thankful for it.
King will release her next single, “High Road,” on Friday, Sept. 20.
