Mackenzie Phillips Confesses to Sexual Relationship With Father — EWWW TMI!
Father and Daughter, plus something extra, extra icky!
I wasn't going to touch this story with a latex glove and a ten foot pole, but on second thought, I think it begs to be addressed.
Apparently, recovering drug addict and sometimes actress Mackenzie Phillips has revealed in her new book that she consensually engaged in an incestuous relationship with her father, John Phillips of the Mamas and the Papas.
Why she couldn't have taken that little nugget to the grave with her is something we may never know, but I for one could have lived the rest of my life NOT knowing this, proving that Mackenzie is crazier and more effed up than previously thought.
More from CNN:
Phillips, the 49-year-old former child star and daughter of the Mamas and the Papas founder John Phillips, says she had sex with her father the night before she was to marry Jeff Sessler, a member of the Rolling Stones entourage, in 1979, according to People.com."On the eve of my wedding, my father showed up, determined to stop it," writes Phillips, who was 19 at the time and a heavy drug user, according to People.com. "I had tons of pills, and Dad had tons of everything too. Eventually I passed out on Dad's bed."
Phillips, best known as Julie Cooper on the sitcom "One Day at a Time," says the sexual relationship became consensual as her life began to spiral out of control.
During her time on the hit CBS comedy, which ran from 1975 to 1984, she battled drug addiction and underwent drug rehabilitation. She later was fired from the show in 1980 because of her drug abuse.
Eventually, she and her father went to rehab together and she later toured with him in a band called the New Mamas and the Papas, according to People.com.
"I was a fragment of a person, and my secret isolated me," she writes, according to People.com. "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. Maybe Fiji.' "
Phillips will reportedly unleash the secret she has kept to herself for 31 years in an interview on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" scheduled to air Wednesday. Phillips' book, "High on Arrival," comes out the same day.
