“I never thought in my life that this would go viral. I was just talking about my childhood and my truth,” King said People Magazine. “I didn't want to hurt him. A lot of people said, 'How could she say that about her family?' and 'Everything has to be kept behind closed doors.' No, it doesn't have to be. Sometimes you just have to say things and get them off your chest so you don't have to carry them with you for the rest of your life.”

Bunnie asked, “Did you ever feel like the two of you could form a connection?” King said, “Not until I was much, much older.”

Bunnie interjected and asked, “Did your father ever try to help you?” to which King replied, “No, he never helped me. I never wanted his help.”

“He didn't have a very good reputation either. I don't want to be associated with him. He's just not nice. You can want someone to change so much; you can't control other people's actions. You can't control other people's feelings. You can only control how you react and what you do with your feelings, and sometimes I just fucking boil up and fucking explode,” she said.

“You try every possible angle. I tried letters. I tried soft sounds. I tried screaming… My dad forgot every single birthday. I spent my 18th birthday at a summer school and they brought me cupcakes and when I came home my dad had forgotten my birthday,” King added.
