When prompted to talk about her dad, Elle said that she and Rob could go “four or five years” without speaking.
She also said she’s received angry phone calls from him in the past when she’s talked about their relationship publicly.

Recalling her upbringing, Elle said that the only summers she spent with her dad as a child were on movie sets, where she’d “just get lost in the shuffle.”
“If I ever messed up a shot, if I ever was talking, I would get in fucking trouble,” she said, noting that they didn’t connect as father and daughter until she was “much older.”
Talking more about her childhood, the 35-year-old also recalled being body-shamed by her dad and sent to a “fat camp” to lose weight.
