"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.
“I woke up that night from a blackout to find myself having sex with my own father.”
Isn’t that called rape?
Ooops
I have no words.
Woder if she is fnding out all the drugs in the world won’t make that disappear.
In my world it is.
This for the privacy of therapy or a confessional...
Not needed on the pages of PEOPLE....
Puh-leeeeze
ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!
Well I could have gone without reading that first thing in the morning.
Gotta stop playing with my clicky thing.
She should have taken that little tidbit of information to her grave. That’s vile.
When will she be on Oprah?
its the only thing she could think of to get her back in the press. I am skeptical.
Funny you should ask! I saw an ad for it, she will be on Oprah today!
Oh jeebus, what kind of krap is this that we’re supposed to read and feel sorry for her as she justifies such a sick lifestyle by her and her father both?
Burdening others with the information, I guess, helps you justify what you did makes you feel all better about it, but frankly that kind is the kind of krap that neither I nor my children need to absorb ourselves in.
These Hollywood prince and princesses thinking that the public is just waiting with baited breath to hear their every little tidbit of trash lifestyles is almost like an invasion of nasty insects.
Rush once said that eventually the only thing Madonna could do to shock us was sit on a toilet on stage.
He was wrong. We found something that would make that look mundane.
Addicts tend to blame anything and make up a lot of things to justify their addictions...
She will probably not be sober for long if this pattern continues.
He dumped her mom for her? Wow. Rick James was right.
“I saw an ad for it, she will be on Oprah today!”
Oh for Pete’s sake. I just don’t understand peoples desire to publicly reveal their severely dysfunctional personal life, nor the apparent desire for many to listen to their sad narrative. Yuck.
No way! That's Sick...
Has Oprah jumped the shark YET?
NO Cheers, unfortunately.
Today.
