Kurt Russell is opening up for the first time about Oliver and Kate Hudson‘s relationship with their biological father Bill Hudson following the Father’s Day drama last month.

Oliver posted on Instagram on the holiday that it was “abandonment day” as he and Kate do not have a relationship with Bill.

“I understood Oliver‘s sense of humor and since then, there’s been some nice back and forth between Bill and Oliver and that’s nice to see,” Kurt told E! News. “You want people to enjoy life as much as they can.”

“We live in a world that if you say something or do something, it can be latched onto for 24 hours or 48 hours,” he added.

Kate Hudson‘s biological father Bill has spoken out after her brother Oliver slammed him in a recent Father’s Day Instagram post.

“I say to them now, ‘I set you free,’” Bill told the Daily Mail. “I had five birth children [including three from another relationship], but I now consider myself a father of three. I no longer recognize Oliver and Kate as my own.”

He continued, “I would ask them to stop using the Hudson name. 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. I am mourning their loss even though they are still walking this earth.”

Bill said that his ex-wife Goldie Hawn never had anything bad to say about him until Kurt Russell entered the picture.

“But when Kurt came on the scene, the narrative changed, and I became the big, bad wolf,” Bill said. “I would say to her, ‘Goldie, why are you trashing me and saying I’m an absent father when it’s simply not the case?’ and she’d laugh and go ‘Oh Bill, you know it makes for a better story.’”

Bill and Goldie were married from 1976 to 1980 and the kids were raised by their mom and her longtime partner Kurt after the divorce.

Kate Hudson‘s brother (and fellow actor) Oliver Hudson took to his Instagram account on Father’s Day to slam their estranged dad Bill Hudson.

“Happy abandonment day… @katehudson,” the 38-year-old actor captioned a photo of the three of them together many years ago.

Bill was married to Goldie Hawn from 1976 to 1980 and the kids were raised by their mom and her longtime partner Kurt Russell after the divorce.

Kate decided to honor Kurt that day instead. “Pa, just simply….. Thank you 🙏 Happy Fathers Day I love you to the moon and back. ✨ #HappyFathersDay,” she wrote on Instagram with the below photo.
