US Weekly MagazineMackenzie Phillips, daughter of the late John Phillips (lead singer of the The Mamas & the Papas) reveals on The Oprah Winfrey show how she came to have a relationship with her father.
Here is an excerpt from Wikipedia:
“In September 2009, Phillips’ memoir High on Arrival (US$14.29 on Amazon) was released. Phillips appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show for an hour-long interview. She told Winfrey that she first tried cocaine when she was 11 years old, and that her father did drugs with her and injected her with cocaine.
During the interview, Phillips read excerpts from her book. She said that at the age of 19, on the night before her first wedding, “I woke up that night from a blackout to find myself having sex with my own father.” Both reportedly were under the influence of drugs at the time. Phillips then told Winfrey, “It became a consensual relationship,”describing her participation as “sort of Stockholm Syndrome, where you begin to love your captor.”
Phillips said the incestuous relationship had happened gradually for ten years, and that she ended it when she became pregnant and did not know who had fathered the child. She stated that her father paid for her to have an abortion, “and I never let him touch me again.” “
Though half-sister Chynna Phillips is supportive of Mackenzie, not everyone is pleased with the revelation, least of all her stepmother Michelle Phillips. Watch a clip of Mackenzie’s interview on Oprah at Celebtv.com:
MacKenzie if no else else feels your pain I certainly do, I have lived the exact experience(minus the drugs) for 15 years of my life starting at about age 5. I am aware of that kind of pain and how it destroys a human being…forever!!!!
Hang in there MacKenzie I wish you all the best in gettting the help you need to start healing and have some peace in your life!
I wish you nothing …but all the healing in the world, people like us usually never recovers from this type of trauma.
And for the people who do not believe you and think that you are makine up stories for attention or money or whatever the case maybe…I really do hope this type of abuse never happens to them or their family/children …or else that’s the only time they will believe you..sometimes that what it takes for others to feel other people’s pain!
