‘Home Alone 2’ Star Sent Daughter to Fat Camp, She Details Toxic Relationship: ‘He’s Not Nice’

Home Alone 2 star Rob Schneider‘s daughter, Elle King, made shocking claims about her upbringing on a recent episode of BunnieXO’s Dumb Blonde podcast. Home Alone 2 fans will recognize him as Cedric the bellhop, but to Elle, he was dad—and allegedly, that title came with little affection. She explained how her father, who BunnieXO claimed was a childhood celebrity crush, was not nice to her, hence her estrangement from him for years.

She also called him out for his opinion on the LGBTQ+ movement, as he raged on about the 2024 Paris Olympic opening ceremony which featured drag queens in different colors. Building a relationship with Rob was tough for Elle, and she now insists on being unassociated with him.

Elle King recalls her experience at fat camp

Elle’s weight only made growing up worse as John would reportedly often talk down on her and even sent her to a fat camp. Elle was under so much pressure that the one time she could not lose weight due to a sprain meant trouble with her father.

She recalled spending summer holidays with him on set and getting severely punished for merely talking or interrupting a shot. Worse still, Rob allegedly never remembered her birthday and never got any support from him as she explored her career options before going into music full-time.

Too late

Rob responded to Elle’s accusations during an interview with Tucker Carlson and asked Elle to forgive him for the ill-treatment. He noted that he wants her to be happy and to heal from the trauma he gave her. It appears Elle is satisfied with Rob’s absence in her life and prefers to keep it so.

The 35-year-old is a mother of one from her relationship with Dan Tooker, which led to their engagement in 2020. This came after her tumultuous marriage to Andrew Ferguson ended, and he was charged with domestic violence after reportedly trying to strangle her. Elle has managed to thrive despite her past and urges her fans to always get help when stuck.
