Mackenzie told Oprah Winfrey she had a sexual affair with her father singer John Phillips for 10 years while Michelle and John were married. 

Michelle told Vanity Fair magazine, “I’m so embarrassed and mad. At Oprah, at the publisher, and at Mackenzie, who should be on a psychiatrist’s couch, not on TV.”

“Is this all true? We’ll never know, because she waited until John was dead.  If you’re going to make these accusations and they don’t hurt anyone living, that’s one thing. But Mackenzie has affected the lives of all her nieces and nephews, who are not going to school today and are staying home sobbing instead.”

“And the book has come out just at the time that Chynna (former member of the group Wilson Phillips) has to go out on the road with her new album of Christian music.”

It’s funny how Michelle is putting all the blame on Mackenzie, and she said she’s angry with Mackenzie and Oprah.  But she never said she was angry with her ex-husband John Phillips even though he’s the one who initiated sex with his own daughter.

I thought the circumstances surround Michael Jackson’s death was going to be the craziest celebrity news story of the year. However, I was dead wrong.  Actress Mackenzie Phillips has officially won that title.  Mackenzie wrote a tell-all book about her life. 

The most disturbing part of the book was when she revealed she slept with her father the day before her wedding in 1979 at age 19.

“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.”

“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. 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.”

“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.  He was completely delusional. No, I thought, we’re going to hell for this.”

She also said the sexual relationship with her father lasted 10 years. 

Mackenzie Phillips’ father is the late John Phillips who was a member of the group The Mamas & the Papas whose hit songs inlcuded “California Dreamin” and “Monday, Monday.”

He fathered four other children including Chynna Phillips from the pop group Wilson Phillips and actress/singer Bijou Phillips. 

Mackenzie became famous when she starred on the television show “One Day at a Time” from 1975 to 1983.  In recent years, she appeared on “Cold Case,” “Without a Trace,” “ER” “7th Heaven” and 63 episodes of the Disney Channel show “So Weird.”

Mackenzie will reveal more details about her father and her drug use during an interview with Oprah Winfrey, which will air today (Sept. 23).

I wish Mackenzie had made the revelations to the public while her father was still alive, so he could suffer the consequences.
