Rob Schneider has publicly apologized to his daughter, Elle King, after she criticized their strained and toxic relationship on the 'Dumb Blonde' podcast. King accused Schneider of being absent during her childhood, sending her to 'fat camp', and having opposing views on LGBTQ+ rights. Schneider responded on Tucker Carlson's show, expressing regret for not being the father she needed, and hoping for her forgiveness while emphasizing his love and desire for her happiness. The apology follows King's revelations about her challenging upbringing and their clashing views, which have caused long periods of estrangement. King has not yet publicly responded to Schneider’s apology.
