Mackenzie Phillips Admits to Sexual Affair with her Father, John Phillips

As The Dame reported to you yesterday, (refresh your memory by clicking here) Mackenzie Phillips decided she missed the spotlight she hasn’t been in since the early 80’s, and used the Mighty O’s (aka Oprah Winfrey, people) talk-show to reveal some pretty gross dirty laundry.

According to Mackenzie, she and her own father, John Phillips of the 60’s singing group ‘The Mamas and the Papas’, had a sexual relationship. Le gross.

Via People:

“On the eve of my wedding, my father showed up, determined to stop it,” writes Phillips, who was 19 and a heavy drug user at the time. “I had tons of pills, and Dad had tons of everything too. Eventually I passed out on Dad’s bed.”

“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.”

The wedding that Phillips is referring to was her 1979 nuptials to Jeff Slesser.

The following year, Mackenzie entered rehab with her father after being fired from the hit show ‘One Day at a Time’ due to her habitual drug use.

She admits that, at that point, the relationship with her father became consensual.

  • Mackenzie is one hot looking lady (always has been), and men are animals (including her dad). Throw a little cocaine in the mixture, and I don't have any problem seeing something like that happening. And if you can be honest enough with yourself,...
