Mackenzie Phillips Reveals Ten-Year Sexual Relationship With Own Father
Posted on Wed Sep 23, 2009 07:30 AM PDT
Mackenzie Phillips, troubled actress, daughter of legendary rocker John Phillips (of The Mamas and the Papas) and older sister of Bijou, revealed that she had a long-term incestuous relationship with her own father in a new book, High on Arrival.
"On the eve of my wedding, [at 19, to Jeff Sessler] my father showed up, determined to stop it," Mackenzie writes in her new novel. " I had tons of pills, and Dad had tons of everything too. Eventually I passed out on his bed... I woke up that night from a blackout to find myself having sex with my own father. Had this happened before? I don't know. All I can say is it was the first time I was aware of it."
And if that revelation wasn't disturbing enough, Mackenzie goes on to chronicle an almost 10-year relationship, in which the father-daughter couple talked about running away to be together.
"One night Dad said, 'We could just run away to a country where no one would look down on us. There are countries where this is an accepted practice...He was completely delusional. No, I thought were going to hell for this."
Mackenzie has wrestled with her demons for years, having been arrested for felony possession of cocaine and in and out of rehab at least 9 times. And, as she tells Oprah in an interview airing Wednesday, "My father shot me up for the first time."
Mackenzie's sister Chynna Phillips (of Wilson Phillips) tells Us about the first time she heard of the incestuous affair, 11 years after it had ended, in 1997.
"Somebody could have dropped a piano on my head and I probably wouldn't have felt it," the singer told the mag. "But I knew it was true. I mean, who in their right mind would make such a claim if it wasn't true?"
Chynna says that upon hearing the news, she went into "a deep, deep sadness and depression for about 10 days. A part of me died when I found out."
"Do I believe that they had an incestuous relationship and that it went on for 10 years?" she went on to say. "Yes."
This is horribly sick and disturbing. No wonder Mackenzie was such a mess for all those years!
Comments
I hope this can give her some closure.
Crap. Her own dad shot her up for the first time. How can I listen to the mamas and pappas anymore. Some things are better left in the closet where they belong.
that is some messed up stuff wow drugs are not good at all!
I find this hard to believe. I think she is making it all up to sell a book and make some money.
I don't believe anything this bitch says.
True or False I feel sorry for this woman...If had boats with the bottle and there are things that are ment to be kept in the closet, she is just reaching out for attention and needs help...so sad. She should reflect back and take it, "One Day at a Time"
So if he raped her the first time why did she continue to have a consensual sexual relationship with him? It just goes to show that she was just as disgusting and perverted as her father. She was an adult, she could have stayed away from him and never spoken to him again. She is an ugly prune face sicko.
now she has cleaned her soul of this dark secret maybe she can clean up her addictions and guilt?..... I hope so. I hope this give her a fresh start to forget the weirdness........ and maybe she can go through life happier, instead of feeling guilty and strange, go on to have a happy healthy life in the future ?
I've been in this town for years. I am not a prude but this just really is TMI. If this girl was from the trailer park, would she really be on Oprah? It's time we stop giving people who mean nothing (washed up TV stars, kids of actors, I mean you) a forum to air their dirty laundry. She was on one half-hour show decades ago and the rest of her life, who cares. We don't owe it to her to sit back and listen to this disgusting and vile revelation of course conveniently made when her father is dead. I'm not saying that I don't believe it's true. I'm saying that I don't want to know, don't care to know, and shouldn't be subjected to the blatant manipulation that she and Oprah inflict upon us trying to make us care. There are some things that should remain private, having drug fueled sex with your dad is one of them. I'm sure she thinks that this will make people stop taking drugs or abusing their kids. My question to her, would it have stopped her? No, it wouldn't have. So other than selling books and feeding her addictive narcissistic personality disorder, there is no point to this vomitous revelation. This should be between her and her therapist. Not her and the world. WE DON'T CARE.
to the above commentor...well this is the United States of America last time I checked..and each of us have the right to free speech...if you don't like it...turn the channel...or don't read it!!!
to the commentor above, i believe the writer was practicing his/her right to free speech. now, head back to class, junior. it works both ways.

isn't this the chick that had her cherry popped by mick jagger when when she was 16 or 18 ?
been doing drugs since she was born.....
I now is just getting the story straight
who would make such a claim if it wasn't true?.. a desparate drug addict needing money? ....maybe......hellooo
or it could be true....hopefully the publisher will be happy with the book sales
This is beyond too much information. It is just too sickening to even think about. Why would anyone reveal such a disgusting secret to the world. What exactly does McKenzie expect to gain by revealing this information? Money for more drugs? I have absolutely no sympathy for this woman, even if these events with her father contributed to her heavy drug use and mental anguish she was not forced into this relationship. She was not molested. She was a willing participant in a sexual relationship with her own f’ing father. The talk of running away and burning in hell together paints a picture of a person that had no obvious moral objections to an incestuous relationship with her own father. McKenzie go crawl back under the rock you came from. You are one sick human being.
9:13 is right. And to the next comment, it is no longer possible to simply change the channel in today's world. This kind of garbage is everywhere you look, coming at you. This is "vomitous" and it should've been between her and her therapist. Really really want to throw up from this. There was no point for her to go public with this, and at this late date. It's a cheap moment for her and Oprah to move some books and get some momentary ratings. Now that she's unloaded this vile crap it's in the rest of our consciousness forever, especially everytime we listen to what is no longer enjoyable Mamas & Papas music or see her miserable face. She needs drug money and anyone who buys this book is giving it to her. To all celebs: stop unloading your sick dirty laundry on the public to make a fast buck.
9:39, perhaps you need to head back to class. The right to free speech was designed so people could speak out against their government, not for greedy has been tv stars to air sick family behavior for a fast profit.
She was clearly exploited by her father, but she is now exploiting the public. The world gets sicker and the bar gets lower everyday.
Thats disgusting, but why bring it up after he's dead and can't tell his side. For all we know, the crackhead could be making it up!
How about she is trying to free herself from her demons...but you all are obviously SO above all that. I faced mine years ago when dealing with addiction. The dirty laundry needs to come out.
Also, hearing stuff like this makes me want to hold my daughter tighter and be aware of what is happening in her world... There is always a lesson.
At the age of 18, she knew better. She should have had sex with the dope man, and saved some money
DISGUSTING!!!! That's all I can say!!
This is very Disturbing & Disgusting!!!
Anne @ 8:36, I think it is great she is trying to free herself of these demons, but she should do it with a psychotherapist and not the public. It is not up to me or you to help her work her poor lack of judgement. She was a will participant. It was not a one-time thing....it went on for 10 years, longer than most marriages. Pretty sick and digusting to try and garner support and sympathy for something like this. McKenzie can take comfort in the fact that she will not burn in hell along because daddy will be right there with her.
If her story is true,it's very convenient to tell it after her dad's death,so smart.He's not alive to defend himself or to tell his side of the story.
People like her are lame,they play the victim for money and fame.And accusing a dead person is a "good" idea for people like her.The worse is that she's claiming things she can't prove anymore,even if everything she told is true,after many years,all the evidences are gone.She wants to sell books and money.
I'm not buying her story...she wants publicity,fame and money.She's a loser.
It's hard to believe her. In listening to her talk there is just something wrong, something wrong. I think she is in pain; that is certainly true, and in a drug induced state something might have happened between them once or twice; but there is something that doesn't add up. The "I can't remember if this was the first time" is hard to believe and so is the fact that she was doing other people at the same time. There is more to this story; either that or it's a large abstraction on a one time deal.
I recall a bitter Mackenzie describing how Mick Jagger sent her father out for mayo so he could sexually molest her at the age of 14. Now she describes the encounter as a blissful experience at the legal age of 18. I have to wonder how much cash her recant cost Mr. Jagger. I lost a lot of respect for Oprah. And Mac just gives me the old fashion creeps.
I really liked John Phillips even though he was obviously f'd up pretty bad. I don't know if it's true or not but it's not a stretch given the drug history.
I don't buy the Mick Jagger stuff though. Mick appears to me to be completely healthy and happy in charge of his own affairs thank-you very much and I can't see the need to be diddling with a mixed up McKenzie Phillips when he can have his fill of South American models at his beck and call.
