"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.
good lord...what a freak that dopehead was..sick bastard.
what did Michelle have to say about this?
(from the Drew Barrymore’s Mom school of mothering)
sorry but the Great Society and Affirmative Action and Roe was not the work of the boomers....not to mention the New Deal and Progressives folks and whatnot before that
the degeneration of culture always goes back
fwiw, I don’t find younger parents too inspiring either...I love to watch Gen X and Yers here blame their folks..lol
I thought that too actually but Phillips was one odd duck
LOL playing with your clicky thing can cause blindness...my grandma said so..so does the Viagra commercial..(sorry :O( I couldn’t help myself)
I too wonder. I know people use to say women./children would never lie about rape/molestation, but... she’s Hollywood and things are different there. Also, I have a crazy brother who lies constantly about others.
Michelle is 15 years older than Mackenzie.
uh, that photo crosses some kind of line.....
ping
I was making reference the MacKenzie....sorry fir the confusion.
I was making reference to the girl, not the father. Sorry for the confusion.
I agree, the problems that we are encountering now are from those born during the late depression and war years. I guess they are trying to make up for shortcomings compared to their parents.
I think parenting in general reflects our culture...on the decline.
there are excpetions...I would imagine most who post here try harder to get it right..

My daughter gets in fights in her Current Events/American Govt class because she is the only one who speaks up against Obama. I think that shows some progress! Ha Ha. My Dad would be proud.
He did have Rush though, and gave him I thought a good venue.
