Mackenzie Phillips: I Slept with My Own Father
People.com ^ | 09/22/2009 | People

Posted on 09/23/2009 4:18:29 AM PDT by autumnraine

"Don't hate my father," Mackenzie Phillips tells PEOPLE.

But in a tell-all book out Wednesday, the former childhood actress reveals that her dad, musician John Phillips of the '60s band the Mamas and the Papas, engaged with her in a long-term incestuous relationship.

Phillips, 49, who has survived drug addiction, arrests and divorce, writes in the book High on Arrival that she was already a star playing a boy-crazy teen on the TV sitcom One Day at a Time when her father had sex with her on the night before she was to marry Jeff Sessler, a member of the Rolling Stones entourage, in 1979.

"On the eve of my wedding, my father showed up, determined to stop it," writes Phillips, who was 19 and a heavy drug user at the time. "I had tons of pills, and Dad had tons of everything too. Eventually I passed out on Dad's bed."

"My father was not a man with boundaries. He was full of love, and he was sick with drugs. I woke up that night from a blackout to find myself having sex with my own father."

"Had this happened before? I didn't know. All I can say is it was the first time I was aware of it."

Phillips' life began to spiral out of control. In 1980, she was fired from One Day at a Time because of her constant drug use. That same year, she went to rehab – with her father. Her sexual relationship with him had become consensual.

My God, how boring my life is ... I haven’t hit anyone since a schoolyard fight in 1973.

And don't think I've forgotten! If you call me that again I'll really pound you. And Mr. Reynolds won't be there to break it up like last time.

I did three years in Juvey for that. I would gladly put you in the hospital again. (Ha Ha.)

I didnt win that fight, but I didnt lose either. But I did get slapped in the ear, and that really hurt.

Okay, maybe you won last time, but to be fair I was only 5.

“When will she be on Oprah”?

There is a more than a slim possibility that this is not true but just the product of a drug-addled, publicity-seeking mind.

you should see the whole shoot- i think it was for vanity fair. there are a few decent pics, but some are really.. bad.

like a couple shots of 16 year old miley barely covered with only a sheet... and people wonder about the sexualization of children and why there are so many pedophiles.

They are just carrying out their programming...a post WWII psy-ops campaign to stimulate the economy and stave off communism, gone awry.

The Mamas and Papas song “Nothing’s Too Good for My Little Girl” will never sound the same .

Seriously , Phillips was one sick mofo . No wonder the daughter turned out the way she did .

I’m always skeptical of a “tell all” with explosive claims that people wait to publish until the other party is dead and can no longer defend him/herself. Joan Crawford comes to mind. I didn’t buy off on all the Mommy Dearest stuff either.
