Elle King is Austin Caldwellopening up about her strained relationship with famous father.

The daughter of comedian Rob Schneider told People about the pair's complex relationship in an interview published Thursday, after sparking feud rumors earlier this year following a series of podcast comments.

"I never in a million years thought that that was going to go viral. I was just speaking about my childhood and about my truth," King told People. "I was not trying to hurt him."

In August, she told "Dumb Blonde" podcast host Bunnie XO that she goes "like four or five years without talking to my dad."

USA TODAY reached out to reps for King while a rep for Schneider told USA TODAY that "we don't have a comment."

She also told Bunnie XO, the wife of country music crossover star Jelly Roll, that Schneider "forgot about every single birthday" and recalled celebrating her 18th birthday in summer school. "They brought me cupcakes, and I came home and my dad forgot my birthday."

King also tells Bunnie XO in the clip that she disagrees "with a lot of the things that he says," apparently referring to Schneider. She criticized comments he has made about drag and LGBTQ+ rights after the comedian recently complained on social media about the presence of drag queens at the Olympics.

King also told Bunnie XO she was a "really, really heavy child" and that her dad sent her "to fat camp," where she got in "trouble" after spraining her ankle and not losing weight. King additionally claims Schneider once called her to demand that she stop talking about him to the media.

Elle Kin on Rob Schneider comments, Tucker Carlson interview

King also said Schneider's recent apology during an interview with Tucker Carlson was "like a double negative" and "means nothing."

She added to People: "A lot of people said, 'How could she say that about her family?' and 'Everything needs to be behind closed doors.' No, it doesn't." King added that "sometimes you have to just say things and get them off your chest so that you don't have to carry it for the rest of your life."

King told the magazine she would have made her comments 10 mores times because the LGBTQ+ community knows they have an ally in her now.

"What I will say is the best thing that came from that is that my incredible LGBTQ+ community knows that they have an ally in me," she told People.

It's been a bumpy year for the "High Road" singer, who released the new single Friday.

Earlier this year, she garnered backlash after delivering a drunken performance during a Dolly Parton tribute concert at the Grand Ole Opry. Later, she shared on Kaitlyn Bristowe's "Off the Vine" podcast that she went to a "therapeutic program" after the incident and that "nobody really knows what I was going through behind closed doors."
