In a clip from an interview with BunnieXO on her podcast “Dumb Blonde” shared on TikTok, King spoke about her relationship with her father after the host admitted that Schneider was one of her “childhood crushes.”

She also claimed that her father had [her] to the fat camp”, where she “got into trouble for a year because [she] sprained [her] ankle and have not lost weight,” and described the experience as “very damaging and very stupid.”

And Schneider has now responded to his daughter’s comments.

In an interview with Tucker Carlson, the actor took the time to address his daughter directly.

In a clip of the interview shared on Instagram yesterday (August 14), the actor said: “I wanted to tell my daughter Elle that I love you. And I wish I had been the father in my twenties that you needed, but I obviously wasn't and I hope you can forgive me for my shortcomings.”

“I love you with all my heart. I love you with all my heart and I just want you to be well and happy with your beautiful baby Lucky. I wish you all the best.”

“I feel terrible and I just want you to know that I don't take anything you say personally.”

He decided to Carlson: “If you love someone with all your heart, then I love her and all I want for her is for her to be happy and to get over this thing.”
