Rob Schneider's daughter, Elle King, has made a series of allegations about her father's behavior towards her as she recalled 'toxic' experiences growing up.

Elle is the 35-year-old daughter of Grown Ups actor Schneider, who welcomed his daughter in 1989 with former model, London King.

Now a performer in her own right, Elle, a musician, opened up about her relationship with her dad as she sat down for an interview with BunnieXO on her 'Dumb Blonde' podcast.

During the interview, a clip of which was shared on Bunnie's TikTok, the host admitted Elle's dad was one of her 'childhood crushes' - a revelation which opened up the subject of Elle's relationship with him.

Elle revealed she'd gone 'four or five years' without talking to her dad at one point, but when she released her record, people 'finally started asking' about him.

At that point, she alleged: "My dad called me, and was like, ‘Don’t f**king talk about me in the press.'"

Warning: Explicit Language:

Seemingly happy to ignore that alleged request, Elle went on to claim that any summers she spent with her dad would be on a 'movie set' while he was at work.

"I would just get lost in the shuffle," Elle claimed. "If I ever messed up a shot, if I ever was talking, like, I would get in f**king trouble."

When asked whether she felt like she could 'connect' with her dad, Elle continued: "Not till I was much, much older."

Reflecting on her childhood, Elle continued: "I was, like, a really, really heavy child. My dad sent me to fat camp, and then I got in trouble one year because I sprained my ankle and I didn't lose any weight.

"Very toxic and very silly," she added.

Later, she recalled having tattoos done but having to wear sweaters in '108 degrees' because her dad was allegedly 'very anti-tattoos or like any form of self-expression that differed from what he wanted'.

Elle also claimed her dad forgot her 18th birthday, which she spent in summer school.

She claimed she disagrees with her dad on a lot of his opinions, alluding to his thoughts on 'drag' and 'anti-gay rights' and saying: "I want to use this opportunity to say I disagree. I do not agree with what he says."

Elle summed up her feelings about Schneider by alleging he is 'not nice', adding: "You can want someone to change so much; you can't control anyone else's actions. You can't control people'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."

UNILAD has contacted representatives for Schneider for comment.
