Dolly Parton's sister brands Elle King a 'hillbilly' after she 'ruined' the country star's birthday tribute with 'drunken' performance


King, 34, who is the daughter of Rob Schneider got the coveted gig - performing at Nashville's Grand Ole Opry for the singer's 78th birthday - although she was not in attendance.

Addressing the incident with her 140,000 followers on X, formerly Twitter, she shared: 'I didn’t see nor hear the Grand Ole Opry birthday tribute to my big sister Dolly over the weekend. Stella shared 'It wouldn’t be the first time a Hillbilly went on the stage of the Opry “hammered” but I guess it’s ok if you’re a male but good lord don’t ever let a girl behave that way folks!' The Opry Goes Dolly show also featured Ashley Monroe, Tigirlily Gold, Dailey & Vincent and Terri Clark, with fans blasting King on social media.
