John Schneider\u00a0<\/strong>has recently made headlines for his alleged controversial statement about President Joe Biden<\/strong><\/a>. The actor tweeted that the president should be “publicly hung” and is “guilty of treason” in response to a tweet the president made against Donald Trump<\/strong><\/a>, per Deadline<\/em><\/a>. As a result, the Secret Service has reportedly opened an investigation into John’s comments.<\/p>\n However, he backtracked on the since-deleted tweet in a statement to the outlet: \u201cThis is my final comment on this. I neither said nor implied any such thing. Despite headlines claiming otherwise, in my post, I absolutely did not call for an act of violence or threaten a U.S. president as many other celebrities have done in the past. I suggest you re-read my actual post and pay attention to the words before believing this nonsense.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Earlier this year, John mourned the death of his wife Alicia Allain<\/strong><\/a>, who passed away from cancer on February 21, 2023 at 53 years old. \u201cMy beautiful Smile is pain free, living in her new body alongside Jesus,” the Dukes of Hazzard<\/em> <\/a>actor wrote on his Instagram<\/a> at the time, alongside a gorgeous photo of his producing partner, whom he married in 2019.<\/p>\n Alicia was the veteran star’s third wife. From 1983 to 1986, at the height of his popularity during Dukes of Hazzard’s<\/em> run, John was married to Miss America\u00a0Tawny Elaine Godin<\/strong>. The short union was followed by a marriage to Elly Castle<\/strong>, which began in 1993 on a high and ended on a very dramatic note in 2014, including John spending time in jail for failed alimony payments, per TMZ<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n During their marriage, John and Elly (Elvira) welcomed a daughter named Karis<\/strong>. John also became a father to Elly\u2019s children from her first marriage, Mandy<\/strong>, Leah<\/strong> and Chasen<\/strong>. “My wife and I have four kids \u2013 Mandy, Leah, Chasen and Karis \u2013 and I\u2019m father to all of them, but I\u2019m Karis\u2019s biological father, ” he told Father.com<\/em><\/a> in 2012. “So when I married Elly, she had three children, and we immediately became a family because I wanted to be a dad \u2026 wanted, wanted, wanted to be a dad.”<\/p>\n Learn more about John’s four adult children, and why they weren’t on “speaking terms” for a period of time, according to John, below.<\/p>\n John and Elly welcomed their daughter, Karis, in 1997. Little is known about their only biological child, although she appears to be a firefighter.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n A post shared by Karis Lynn (@wilder.woodworks)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/John-Schneider-Kids-embed-1.jpg?resize=620%2C930\")
