Mackenzie Phillips Reveals Ten-Year Sexual Relationship With Own Father
(09/23/09 7:30 AM)
LOS ANGELES, California (X17online) - 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 were 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."
I read a similar story about this several years ago and i forget which magazine but in it she says it was Mick Jagger who she had sex with with a mad John Phillips knocking at the locked bedroom door. She had told the author that Jagger had told her " i have been waiting since you were 10 yrs old to do this" before locking her in her room and having sex.
McKenzie Phillips has followed a destructed life pattern enamored with drugs and the seedy side of life . Now she wants to sell a book . Nobody wants to listen to this loser , but now now she has a plan . Sex . Incest no less . Readers eyes perk up thinking this is the low of the lowest . Addicts don't care if they lie , cheat , steal whatever to get another hit . Don't feel sorry for this person who made millions and used it to shoot heroin up her veins . Nice try McKenzie . " You can fool some of the people some of the time , but you can't fool all the people all the time . " Get back into your hole !
why on earth would Oprah put this trash on her show....a new low for her...sad.
Agreed. She's a crack head. They'll steal their Mom's jewelry for a hit. I've known crack heads who ruinedeverything around them for a hit. She's dragging something she participated in to make sales. She should just take her DNA an disappear.
Please stop blameing the child......... I think what is sad here is that people still wear blinders. They look away and act like things like this never happen to our children. They want to always blame the child for what their abusers did to them....
What she needs now is prayers not judgement. I'm sure it took a lot for her to come forward about their relationship.
It took a book deal for her to come forward about their relationship.
Sick to hear about. I guess she'll make so much money from the story, and if her own family believes it, I guess there can't be too much to question. I would have never come out publicly with this information if it were me, though... too humiliating, even with tons of money at stake.
I don't know who is worse, her for even putting this disgraceful stuff out in public, or the sick disgraceful publisher who will also do "anything for buck". If McKenzie wanted "help" she could have gotten therapy, not written a peice of trash like this book sounds like. What a disgrace she is, the publisher is, and the public is for sending the message to publishers that trash like this sells. What a sick society we have.

McKenzie is almost certainly making this up but it is far more interesting than reading stories about Shiloh losing her first teeth. You go McKenzie, keep America entertained. But don't stop with pseudo autobiographical material go all investigative journalist on us. Blow the lid off the whole Valerie Bertinelli, Gary Coleman sex slave scandal that's brewing in your drug addled brain. M. have your agent call me I'll ghost write.
I'm very relieved that a great number of the commenters have never been so horribly abused by a parent. Please dig deep in your souls and find some compassion for this girl who is still trying to pull herself out of a very deep hole.
Compassion? Well, just read these comments again. It is "In" to be non-compassionate. These comments are from people who would have never liked her from the start. In this world, the best time to beat someone is when they are down. But - a book deal. Not sure that will help her. O - be careful and please use your money to get her some REAL help. O - please send money to these commenters, REALLY there the ones that need it.
So true. Seems like everyone screams loudest when someone comes out with this stuff. Everyone here is soooo perfect. I hope she gets help and turns her life around. Cant understand such negative people. What is hard to understand is this - How many of these people are already parents and probably bringing there kids with this kind of negative thinking! As for Phillips - hope she gets better. I never really cared for her acting - but as a human - we are all human. We all make mistakes. We have to help each other get thru this life. Drugs really mess things up for everyone. I cant justify getting paid for a book deal if she just does it for the money. If she is lying - time will tell. But, I have read over the years that shes struggled alot. Could have lots to do with her past. Almost always does. Hopes she gets better.
Too bad her father is dead and gone and cannot defend himself..
Yea it is sorta odd she waited to drop this bombshell after he is gone..Funny how no one in her family ever got a hint of this affair even though two crackheads were involved..Addicts are well known for being paranoid so how could they possibly have kept it a secret..She is a low life scum for writing a book instead of keeping it private and getting in therapy..
Oprah Winfrey's rating must need a boost. This kind of trash TV will get huge ratings, money in Oprah's pocket and publicity for the book. The American public love this trash
The comments on here are pretty typical of the male population that spouts out the "she must have wanted it" or "she put herself in that situation". What a bunch of morons. Mackenzie Philips has been sober for years so she isn't looking to get a 'Fix'. She has lead a life that is statiscally acurate of someone who was sexually abused.
I dont believe her! she was so drug induced how can she remember anything?
she just looking to make money so she can get high again
Whether it's true or not, a book deal won't 'heal' any situation. So, one has to wonder... why a book deal?
come on people no one really knows what really went on in this ladies' life. Just because she has addictions/demons she is struggling with doesn't mean she can't change. Give her a chance everyone including us deserves one.
Jason - 'sober for years' - Fox News is reporting she was busted for felony possesstion of cocaine in 2008. Try "year"
Everybody deserves a second chance - or 10th chance - I hope all for you who make such harsh judgments about other people can stand up to a little judgment yourself.
OK if you were a person who was abused "Why in the H-E-L-L would you want it put in the news for EVERYONE to see. That is a shameful thing you don't want anyone to know about. I think she's a liar or just really messed up.

She needs forgiveness from the public as part of her emotional recovery. Chances are this began when she was young as there was alot of substance abuse around. Try to forgive and understand her need for acceptance. If you have never had to endure this kind of pain, be thankful, not judgemental. I think she is brave...and very messed up
I hope she gets internal paece, I doubt that - with the choice of putting this out through a book and media
True or not this is very disturbing. Turning the story into a book deal makes me question its validity. I have to wonder why celebrities who say they were sexually abused as children believe it necessary to tell their stories in public. Why not just deal with it on a personal level like those of us in the general population do? I don't think they are making society a better place to live by telling all!
MAN SHE IS UGLY WHO WOULD EVER WANNA F HER HER DAD PROBABLY DIDNT DO IT SHE IS A PIG....
YOU ARE A JOKE LADY AND AN UGLY ONE AT THAT. YOU MAKE ME SICK NO ONE WILL BUY YOUR BOOK OF LIES YOU FILTHY PIG YOUR CARRER IS LONG OVER DEAL WITH IT...
I'm sorry people are saying such ugly things about you. It must have been very hard to not only know you did this, but to have to write about it to let it out of your system and to start to feel better about yourself.You are beautiful inside and out. I hope your healing continues. Shelly
I do remember her falling into the gutter... Realistically, saying her dad mistook puke for a bed partner sounds more like someone taking her for a toilet.
Oh how easy it is to blame the victim here. This subject is much too taboo to face and discuss openly without blaming her because we feel disgust and have nowhere to aim it. This girl's drug behaviour is CLASSIC for a sexually abused kid/person and is highly telling about this family's past. Her need to "tell it all in public" is quite possibly and probably her way of dealing with her past, the guilt and the overwhelming sadness that comes with having your parent and his friend (s) sexually abuse you, it doesn't go away....as one who experienced this myself as a child though it was never so called "consentual", I can tell you that she is behaving exactly as any textbook case reads when the victim doesn't get help EARLY. Her stating that it was "consentual" is just further evidence of her shame and that she blamed herself for her fathers' sick behaviour toward her which is ALSO classic. Her need to tell all after dad is dead is because NOW he can't rape her any longer or hurt her for telling and now she feels safe enough to talk and let go of some of her pain and release some of her shame. She needed a shrink long ago but chose drugs to self medicate instead. Maybe we should not be so quick to judge her unless you have lived it yourself. There are MANY MANY children living this RIGHT NOW TODAY who will repeat this scenario again and again. We need to rethink blaming the victim so easily and have some compassion. I hope that she finally finds some peace before her life ends. I am not some bleeding heart liberal woman trying to excuse and label everything away I'm just a woman who DOES understand.

I have read all these comments on here and some are good and some are bad. First to all the jerks, jackasses and bastards who are saying all this negative stuff about her, take about 5 min to look at the S**T you have done in your lives and im sure your sorry A$$es could write a book too. We all make mistakes and are not perfect "he without sin cast the 1st stone". So all you people who wanna play the "holier than thou" role, GET A LIFE! As for Ms. Phillips, I hope that you are getting all the help you need to get yourself on track and stay that way. We all have stories to tell, my own marriage and divorce could be a made for TV movie!! LOL....anyway good luck to you Ms. Phillips and do you don't worry about what other people say....they mean nothing!!
ummmmm FRIEND "Holier than thou" really, you think people are being judgemental to say incest is wrong? Don't want to see what's in your closet.
"Friend" if you think people are being "Holier thatn thou" by saying incest is sick YOU might need to look inward. I don't even want to know what's in your past. The vast majority of murders in this country are drug related (check the stats) & I myself have lost 3 real "friends" to others drug abuse & the terrible things they do while abusing so don't tell me it's a harmless problem. As far as the fault here goes, I agree most of it would be on him if the story is true (big if!!!). My question is why tell this story when he's gone & can't speak on the truth of it??
Incest is real, and it is horrific. It happened to me and the confusion and pain and suffering is difficult. The redeemtion of The Lord Jesus Christ is powerful and very healing. Sin must be called sin, and in the end the Truth will prevail. Mackenzie you go forward boldly and thank You for your bravery, I believe you and may the Peace of Jesus always be with you-Kevin
From age 12 to 22 I was sexually molested & assaulted by 5 different men multi times, one was my brother-in-law. My family only knew about my brother-in-law and only because he broke into my home at 2:30 am when I was 22 and stabbed me. I’m 48 now and only last year did I finally tell the WHOLE truth, after three marriages and a failing fourth I confessed everything in marriage counseling. Talk about a shocked look on the two faces of my husband & 30 year old counselor! I was lucky that I never drowned my pain in drugs & alcohol but I didn’t escape the memories seared into my brain. I became a woman to strong to ever let the world see even a hint of fragility. But internally there is a fear that is so overwhelming that it takes your breathe away, you watch every man and everything as if it’s a danger, your day is filled with checking the locks, the doors, if a man is standing to close, looking at you the wrong way and then have children and worry about them especially if it’s a little girl! We all have our own nightmare. Maybe drugs would of been better! Women like me we are your sisters, wives, mothers, friend, daughter you name it and there are more of us then maybe your delicate brain can handle. No I didn’t write a book but I’m not famous I can tell you that once I started talking it out I shared it with more people then I ever thought I would and my brother-in-law is dead too but just because he’s dead and can’t defend himself doesn’t mean he didn’t do it! Give this Mackenzie Phillips a break if it’s true I feel so sorry for her and my heart aches for a pain she’s had to carry for way to many years and always will, if it makes her feel better to talk about (it did me) talk honey all you want, scream it if you have to and know there are those who share your pain. And as far as it being her dad; that has been going on since the beginning of time. Some men are just F’d!
And if it isn’t true well it’s true for some woman out there and maybe she’ll finally tell some one. And ease her pain finally.
