“I wish I was the father in my 20s that you needed. And clearly, I wasn’t,” he said in a podcast hosted by right-wing commentator Tucker Carlson. “I hope you can forgive me for my shortcomings. I love you completely, and I love you entirely.”

Schneider said he just wanted her “to be happy and to heal from this.” He added with a sigh, “I wish you the best. I feel terrible. I just want you to know that I don’t take anything you say personally.”

The apology comes just a day after King told Bunnie XO on her Dumb Blonde podcast that Schneider was “just not nice” and that she had no plans to mend her relationship with him.

“I disagree with a lot of the things that he says,” King said at the time. “You’re talking out of your ass and you’re talking shit about drag and, you know, anti-gay rights. And it’s like, get fucked.” She also claimed that the comedian sent her to “fat camp” because she was a “really heavy child,” and said he was “very toxic and very silly.”

In her interview, King also shared that she didn’t speak to her father until she was “much, much older,” and that Schneider would forget about “every single birthday.”

“You can want someone to change so much. You can’t control anyone else’s actions; you can’t control people’s feelings,” she said. “All you can control is how you react and what you do with your feelings. And sometimes I fucking boil up and I boil over and I fucking bust my lid.”
