Kate Hudson’s relationship with her biological father, Bill Hudson, has been strained for decades.
“I don’t really know him,” Kate, said of her dad.
“I haven’t talked to him in a while.

It was hard growing up and your real father’s not there.
He would be there sometimes, and other times he wasn’t.”
Later, she added, “He doesn’t know me from a hole in the wall.”

Bill certainly didn’t seem pleased with the interview.
The sweet photo was contrasted by the scathing caption, which read, “Happy abandonment day.”
Meanwhile, their step-dad, Kurt Russell, got a sweet shoutout from both.

“I no longer recognize Oliver and Kate as my own.
I would ask them to stop using the Hudson name,” he said.
“They are no longer a part of my life.
Oliver’s Instagram post was a malicious, vicious, premeditated attack.
He is dead to me now.
As is Kate.”
The musician accused his ex-wife, Goldie Hawn, of turning their children against him.
Despite years of public feuding, Kate’s relationship with her father appears on the mend.
Still, there does seem to be a little ray of hope for them to find greener pastures.
“He was always there, for the soccer games, the recitalsalways.”
