Stella Parton had addressed Elle King's drunken performance during a Dolly Parton birthday tribute event on Friday.
Stella has shared her thoughts on the 34-year-old singer's performance during the country star's 78th birthday celebration at the Grand Ole Opry show at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville.
During her performance, which was broadcast on Friday, Elle appeared to slur her words, repeatedly forget lyrics and swear on stage.
Despite the inebriated performance, Stella, 74, has shown her support for the Ex's & Oh's singer.
"I didn't see nor hear the Grand Ole Opry birthday tribute to my big sister Dolly over the weekend," Stella, a singer-songwriter, wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Sunday.
"But some lil girl by the name of Elle King apparently cussed and insulted some of Dolly's fans by not knowing a song. She did admit to being 'hammered' her word not mine," she continued. "But let me just say this, 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 singer concluded, "Double f**king standard if ya ask me. So the Opry is apologizing! Lol."
Shortly after Elle's performance, representatives for the famed country institution issued a public apology on social media.
"We deeply regret and apologize for the language that was used during last night's second Opry performance," they stated.
Stella returned to X on Monday and called on those who cover Dolly's songs to "do their homework" beforehand.
"To any lil ego thinking they can learn the lyrics correctly with a half a*sed listen to one of Dolly's song. Surprise! You'll end up looking as silly as that lil girl. Do your homework people," she stated.
