I guess if I have to wonder if I'm shocked, I'm not really shocked.
Mackenzie Phillips, daughter of the Mamas & the Pappas' John Phillips, was on Oprah, today. Phillips has a book which is coming out. It's called "High On Arrival." (Are you shocked, yet?) Welllllll, she mentions that she had sex with her father on the night before she was to get married in 1979 at age 19. She wrote in her book: "I woke up that night from a blackout to find myself having sex with my own father." She continued to say that the sexual relationship with her father lasted a decade and ended when she became pregnant and didn't know who had fathered the child. She had an abortion, which her father paid for, "and I never let him touch me again."
Phillips told Winfrey that she first tried cocaine when she was 11 years old. Her father did drugs with her, taught her to roll joints and injected her with cocaine. Phillips said she's been clean for a year after pleading guilty to possessing cocaine and entering a drug treatment program.
Phillips said the sexual relationship, although she believes it eventually became consensual, was "an abuse of power" and "a betrayal" on her father's part. She said she forgave John Phillips on his deathbed.
Shocked? Don't be. She obviously needs some money, so she's writing a book. I'm shocked to think that she would think that anybody would pay $29.95 (or more)to read this crap!
