Mackenzie Phillips Defends Incest Story

Right. And did she consent to be born and raised by a demented drug addict who introduced her to drugs at age eleven and in fact shot her up himself? Yeah, good daddy.

how about a lie detector test????

Sorry, a father who TOUCHES his own daughter is the one at fault. A child, regardless of the age who has been brought up in the mixed up world of a split family, a chil actress life, and an iconjc father from whom you desire to please, most certainly can not be the one who shoul be vthe one who now has to carry the blamr.
I was molested by a famuly friend when I was five years old, then raped when I was 18, and at the time I was stil a virgin. It took me thirty-two years before I ever mentioned it and I have never taken drugs of any kind to alter or cloud my judgement.
Sure, she should have "known better" but the one who should have been teaching and nurturing her was the one who was destroying her dignity.

There are a few odd things about her recollections...she admits to being "blacked out" when it first happened, drifting in and out of it..but then goes on for 10 more years consensually? She says her father came to HER house to stop her wedding and yet later says she woke up in HIS bed (so they ended up going to his house the night before her wedding?) She says she was so high she can't remember how she ended up doing this with him and yet she CAN remember that it was the night before her wedding, and finally she claims that it was a pregnancy that ended it....but, for 10 years she wasn't concerned about getting pregnant by him?....Was she on the pill? Druggies aren't usually responsible enough to use condems..but 10 years is a LONG time to NOT get pregnant. She must have worried about STD's? Hepititis? HIV? And, yes, saying that she was high one time but not the other is hard to believe. She seems to be on some type of drug. Maybe uppers? Dry mouth etc... Just my opinions.

Good for her, for coming out about this awful episode in her life. I'm quite sure being raised in a household full od drug addicts and being sexually molested by her own father has had a lot to do with the path she has taken in her own life. Perhaps now she can heal and start anew and go on with her life. As far as Michelle denying these things and saying the things she has about Mckenzie, well I guess she was just too busy jumping in and out of beds and doing drugs herself to care about what was going on right under her own nose. Mckenzie needs this purging and has my complete support 100%....Good for you Girl

There was nothing but severe exploitation in such a relationship. I am shocked at your ignorance.

I agree 100%, she was not molested, she had an affair with her father. She is just as much a sicko as he was. Also in a lot of situations the abused abuse, what about her son?

In her own words, she did not walk around in a stupor. She was in a consentual relationship. Just because he was a man doesn't make him guiltier than her.
She was 19...I don't care what she was born into. If we use that as an excuse we all have something.
If it did indeed happen, she was as guilty as him.
It is always easy to accuse someone after they are dead.

NO ONE has consensual sex with a father! It might look like that outside of her head, but you're crazy for even thinking its possible! Maybe, in a world where she had never met her father and has an affair with him. Otherwise, you're an idiot.

No one has a consensual affair with their parent. The parent is always the person in the position of power over a child even if the child has grown to become an adult. The parent is using the power in the relationship to benefit only themselves and taking advantage of their own child. That she is breaking the silence about this means that she is NO LONGER IN DENIAL. Her Father no longer has a hold on her to keep her in denial. It may seem strange that after his death, he still had a hold on her and she could not bring forward what had happened in her life. He not only had power over McKenzie but also others in her family who blame her for how her Father used his power; they are his victims too. The other members of the family that have known about this for a while and are not supportive of her breaking this silence, are still in denial.
McKenzie, this was not your fault. More Power to YOU in NOW LIVING YOUR OWN LIFE. Best wishes in your new found life!

You're the one the doesn't get it.

Didn't the original story say she awakened from a drug-induced stupor to find her father was raping her? I'm sorry, sir, but consensual sex cannot take place when one party is unconscious.

Also, I have known several girls who have carried on relationships with "men" (I use this term as loosely as possible) who took advantage of them when they were sleeping. In these cases, the girls were always abused in some way as children.

You are a very ignorant person! The poor woman was a victim of her father, who never should have touched her in the first place! I for one, am proud of Mackenzie. This whole thing has hurt her and affected her life in the nagative. Her father was an authority figure who abused his power, much like a therapist who has an affair with his patient, only this is MUCH worse, this is her dad! There is no such thing as a consensual relationship with your dad. She just gave in out of fear that he wouldn't love her if she refused, and it explains a lot about her drug use. I for one am very proud of Mackenzie! It took real guts for her to come out about this, and no one would make up such a thing for publicity! I have to question the motives of those like you who seem to think that she is in the wrong, what are YOU hiding?? Blaming the victim, which is what you are doing and what Mackenzie clearly is?? Or, a survivor, for having the courage that it took to tell her story?? I applaud her!

To make a comment like what you've made is so typical of the ignorance of why abuse victims never get the help they need. Most molestion/incest victims do allow the abuse; it's what does the damage. It does not negate the fact that they were victimized or who the perpreter is. Before you feel you're expert enough to make such ignorant comments, I suggest you do a little reading.

I agree ras, she has bragged forever about having sex with Mick Jagger. Now she claims this "affair" with her father. She told Oprah that she was high on the last interview but this one she is not. Okay were you lying then or now? I for one will buy a know fairy tale book rather than her's!

maybe her and dustin diamond can go on a "consensual" book signing tour together , both seem to be living in a world of thier own

I totally agree, ras. She was NOT molested or raped by her father. The sex was consensual. If it wasn't then why didn't she ever press charges? Why did she allow it to continue for ten years? Why did she keep going back to his house for more and allowing him to come to her house? I can remember when she was on TV and a "big star". Her career ended because she was on drugs and couldn't read her lines. Face it, Mackenzie, you have always had a serious drug problem and you don't remember what happened when.

couldn't agree more. I lead a group for incest survivors.. REAL ones, that couldn't LEAVE because they were CHILDREN! 19? "consensual sex with your dad for TEN YEARS????" how is that her sicko dad's fault alone? I'm just curious when these bleeding heart crackpots think an ADULT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR OWN ACTIONS?? She got caught with drugs last year, was embarrassed because she's had more opportunities than most and squandered them, and she's out of money. Oprah is such a joke now... sure has changed
