Actress Mackenzie Phillips dropped the father of all bombshells - she admits to a long-term sexual affair with her own dad, Mamas and the Papas singer John Phillips, who died in 2001.

"On the eve of my wedding, my father showed up, determined to stop it. I had tons of pills, and Dad had tons of everything too. Eventually I passed out on Dad's bed," she writes. Phillips was 19 at the time.
"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," she continues.
"Had this happened before? I didn't know. All I can say is it was the first time I was aware of it. For a moment I was in my body, in that horrible truth, and then I slid back into a blackout," Phillips adds.
Their relationship developed consensually and her father even asked her to run away with him.
"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.'"
The troubled star has struggled with drugs her entire life, having most recently been arrested just over a year ago in the Los Angeles Airport during a drug bust.
Mackenzie's sister, Chynna Phillips, also recalls the moment when she found out about the affair.
"She said, 'I don't know why, but I just really felt the need to call you and tell you something that I think you need to know.' And she went on to tell me that she had had an incestuous relationship with our dad for about 10 years," Chynna told Usmagazine.com.
"Somebody could have dropped a piano on my head and I probably wouldn't have felt it. But I knew it was true. I mean, who in their right mind would make such a claim if it wasn't true?" she adds of her reaction.
Bad enough to not report it and then willing did this...both she and her are simple farm pigs, but to bring this out NOW in a time when the country is so saddened by a young girl taken and repeatedly raped for years and try to divert attention to herself should be a crime. If the groom did marry her or lay her again, he should sue her too for fraud and risk of bodily harm...because who knows what else the two pigs chewed on before and during this time.
John Phillips eluded to this happening in his exposé book that came out back in the late 1980's. He was so addicted to cocaine and pharmaceuticals, he couldn't get from point A to point B if it took longer than thirty minutes without pulling over to the side of the road and shooting up. He also shot Mackenzie up with cocaine when she was just a pre teen. He's the poster boy for incest, and being a sick, psychotic phuck. Just read about the way they lived in Topanga Canyon. When they'd travel MacKenzie was left to fend for herself, and would go begging for food. They never should have given that guy a liver transplant. Talentd yes, but what a freak. Mackenzie is from his first marriage, btw, She is not Michelle's daughter.
This girl has had problems all her life because of a father that was always strung out on drugs. She grew up knowing nothing else. I find it disgusting that someone would try and make incest a racial thing. Incest happens in all ethnic communities and if blacks as well as whites or any other ethnic group for that matter would not scream race all the time, we might just not have racial issues in the US anymore.
It doesn't surprise me... I even remember when it was revealed that John Phillips even let Mick Jagger sleep with then 18 yr-old Mackenzie while they were all stoned. Since he was too stoned to do anything, he only had the strength the say, "Don't hurt her Mick" from the other room...truly sad....
Susie, If you think caucasion people are the only ones who have practiced incest--you must be uneducated. That was a very racist comment you made. Opray Winfrey was sexually assalted by her own uncle, et the last time I checked they are African Americans! Black people are centainly not the only victems of racism. You are a perfect example of a racist.
Susie, that statement was Racist! I am an African-American female who finds your comment offensive. Incest is a crime ...if it truly happened then Miss Philips needs therapy.
wow susie, seriously? i agree with jose, YOU are disgusting. and fyi, their shows ownership and they're is they are. learn to spell simple things before you go and try to place a stereotype on something.
Come on! Some things are better left unsaid and hidden in your deepest closet! How messed up are you to admit to that to the public! Get real and get some help MP!
Well.... it does explain a lot of things doesn't it? She's a gal who always seems to live in a constant self induced state of crisis. Such people need money and will do desparate things to make it when they need it.... Having been sexually molested when I was very young, I can tell you that, no matter the reason it happened or the excuses the molester gives for having done it, it really messes their victim up psychologically, physically and emotionally. The damage is something the victim has to come to terms with and learn to deal with on a daily basis. I am sure when the perp is your father, it can really do some serious stuff to your head. I never told my dad.. he would have killed the guy.
Or just maybe Steve46062, like me she has suffered and been tortured all her life from being raped by a family member, and would like to free herself, and help others, not everyone is a synic, or a self seeker.
'One Day at a Time' star Mackenzie Phillips promised to tell a juicy family secret -- and boy does she deliver a whopper.

I honestly am not sure I believe this. And John is not here. It could be a ploy to sell her book. I am not buying it for sure.
