I would just get lost in the shuffle. If I ever messed up a shot, if I ever was talking, like, I would get in f—ing trouble.”Bunnie asked, “Did you ever feel like you guys could connect?” King said, “Not till I was much, much older.”The “Ex’s & Oh’s” singer recalled, “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.”LIKE WHAT YOU’RE READING?

You’re talking out your a–, and you’re talking sh– about drag and, you know, anti-gay rights, and it’s like … get f—ed. I want to use this opportunity to say I disagree. I do not agree with what he says.”CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTERBunnie chimed in to ask, “Did your dad ever try to help you?” to which Elle said, “No, he never helped me. I never wanted his help.””He also didn’t have a very good reputation. 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 people’s feelings. All you can control is how you react and what you do with your feelings, and sometimes I f—ing boil up, and I boil over and I f—ing bust my lid.”You try every different angle. I would try letters. I would try soft. I would try yelling … my 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.””You’re killing my fantasy of Rob here,” Bunnie let the country singer know, to which she said, “I’m sorry. I’m so sorry.””It’s done. It’s over with. It’s done. I’m Team Elle,” Bunnie said.Representatives for Schneider are not commenting on King’s claims at this time.
