Who in their right mind goes on national tv and admits to having consensual sex with him. Ok, you want to get something off your chest, go to a therapist. She said that she needed to 'get it out', but I'm quite sure that she could have ''gotten closure'' without going public. She still admits to getting stoned, and for this I think she just needs more drug money, hence this new 'out' book.
Mackenzie Phillips: I had sex with musician dad John Phillips - CNN.com
Would you tell the world you slept with your dad?
Why would you sleep with your dad in the first place?
According to what I read, he gave her drugs on the night before her wedding (she was 19), they both got high and passed out in his bed, and when she woke up he was having sex with her and had been for some time.
She's had a drug problem since her early teens; the fact that "Papa John" was a heavy drug user is also well-known.
I'm not entirely sure how this rape led to a long-standing sexual relationship between the two of them, but I suspect that drugs continued to play a role; I suspect, also, that it had a lot to do with power. Love can be tyranny, when you love someone who does not have your best interests at heart, and who wants you to do things that are wrong.
It was more of a sarcastic, rhetorical-type question, but thanks anyway...:shock:
I don,t keep up with this stuff but is her dad still among the living?
No, he died a few years ago.
He was John Phillips of "the mamas and the papas", a 60s band.
Her siblings are Bijou and Chynna Phillips, both pseudo-celebs of the "Paris Hilton" sort.
"Would you tell the world you slept with your dad?"
Maybe in a suicide note.
Seriously.
Well, damn her for surviving. Where does she get off drawing breath?
I'm not talking about her. The question is "Would I"
To each their own.
Well, I figured I'd clear it up anyway.
"Why would you sleep with your dad" implies she had a choice, when according to her it was rape.
Why she would continue to sleep with her dad is a valid question, but it's obvious she was and continues to be a profoundly emotionally crippled individual and that her father was a powerful figure, not just in her life but in the lives of most of those around him.
It's hard to know what you'd do.
It's my understanding that most incest victims survive.
It's easy to say you'd kill yourself, but not so easy to follow through with that.
It must have really hurt a lot of people. She should have done something other than blab this story. It's not like he can defend himself. Is she selling a book?
I think she's lying. even if she is telling the truth she is only making this public to make money off it, which is gruesome. so I pretty much don't care either way.
:agree...........I don't know if she's telling the truth, but I support her courage in speaking out about this.

Yeah, god forbid she should tell the secret that has probably been her shame for all these years, and set herself free from it. Telling a secret is part of healing for victims of these kinds of crimes. And, the response here explains why so many of them keep these kinds of secrets for so long and self-medicate to deal with the emotional trauma.
This is not HER shame. She's a VICTIM.
i wouldn't. she definitely needs help.Who in their right mind goes on national tv and admits to having consensual sex with him. Ok, you want to get something off your chest, go to a therapist.
