Rob Schneider's Daughter Got Drunk and Acted Like Rob Schneider

We are all the results of our parents. One way or another, our parents’ behaviors melt their way into our subconscious. Country singer, Elle King, had her father’s nonsense pop out of her and one of the worst possible times ever.

There was a point in time when Elle King’s “X’s and O’s” song was playing everywhere I went. From the coffee shops I used to go and pretend to do work to Target where I’d go buy snacks after pretending to work so hard at the coffee shop and on the radio on the drive home.

So it makes sense she was asked to perform at Dolly Parton’s 78th birthday party at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville over the weekend.

Except the night didn’t go as planned.

Elle King was blackout drunk with no idea what the words to Dolly’s song was. At one point she said “I don’t know the lyrics to these things in this f**king town/Don’t tell Dolly ’cause it’s her birthday” and when someone from the crowd yelled out at her, Elle responded with “I’m not even gonna f**king lie … Y’all bought tickets for this s**t, you ain’t getting your money back.”

Dolly Parton is the sweetest human on planet Earth so I imagine no one in attendance was thrilled to see Rob Scheinder’s daughter on stage ruining her songs and mocking them all for caring.

This is some shit Rob Scheider would do in the 90s for a cheap laugh and a crumb of attention. There are stories from back then about Schnieder just being a dick to work with/for.

But I specify the 90s version of Rob Scheider because the current version is a MAGA gremlin who thinks his career fell off a cliff because of who he chooses to vote rather instead of the reality—his career evaporated because Adam Sandler stopped calling him.

Shout out to all the people who have convinced themselves their careers declined due to their personal vaccine choices rather than looking in the mirror and realizing they either lack talent or they’re pains in the ass to work with. And in Schneider’s case, it’s both.

Elle King has had a decent music career despite the spoiled Schneider blood flowing through her veins but it was only a matter of time until he father’s genes showed up like the Green Goblin mask begging Norman Osborne to become a supervillain.

Personally, if I were asked to even attend, let alone perform at Dolly Parton’s birthday I would be on my best behavior. I’ve been drunk a lot of times. I know what it’s like. I can take a break for Dolly. I could not imagine being belligerent around Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin. I was raised better. Unfortunately, Elle King was raised by Rob Schneider so this was inevitable.
