Michelle Phillips Says Mackenzie Phillips is a Liar

Hollywood Grind — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 16:02:17 +0000

Michelle Phillips, the ex-wife of the late John Phillips, says her stepdaughter Mackenzie Phillips is lying about having an incestuous affair with her father. Michelle says:

“John was a bad parent, and a drug addict. But [expletive deleted] his daughter? If she thinks it’s true, why isn’t she with a good psychiatrist on a couch? I think it’s unconscionable that Oprah would let her do her show. I have every reason to believe it’s untrue. Oprah should be more judicious about who she has on her show.”

Michelle added: “Mackenzie has a lot of mental illness. She’s had a needle stuck up her arm for 35 years. She was arrested for heroin and coke just recently. She did ‘Celebrity Rehab’ and now she writes a book. The whole thing is timed.” Michelle said it’s particularly ironic since her own daughter, Chynna, of Wilson Phillips fame, Mackenzie’s half sister, is releasing a new album this week.

“Mackenzie is jealous of her siblings, who have accomplished a lot and did not become drug addicts.”

Like I said yesterday both Chynna Phillips and Mackenzie Phillips had something to gain by promoting Mackenzie’s book of lies. It’s all about making money while ruining their dead father’s good name. Mackenzie has already made a bad name for herself, but now Chynna has created doubt about her own personal integrity.

Keep in mind that Michelle is John’s ex-wife, and ex-wives are the least likely to defend their ex-husband’s good name.

Mackenzie Phillips Had Sex With Her Own Father

Mackenzie Phillips (49) says in her new tell-all book High on Arrival, which goes on sale Wednesday:

"I slept with my own father. Don’t hate my father."

Why, because Phillips says the sex she had with her father, John Phillips, was a long-term consensual incestuous relationship that lasted 10 years.

John Phillips co-founded the Mamas and the Papas and wrote its biggest hits, including California Dreamin’ and Monday Monday. He also helped organize the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival, which helped introduce Jimi Hendrix to American audiences.

Mackenzie who has survived drug addiction, arrests and divorce, writes in the book High on Arrival that she was already a star playing a boy-crazy teen on the TV sitcom One Day at a Time when her father had sex with her on the night before she was to marry Jeff Sessler, a member of the Rolling Stones entourage, in 1979.

"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."

Phillips’ life began to spiral out of control. In 1980, she was fired from One Day at a Time because of her constant drug use. That same year, she went to rehab, with her father. Her sexual relationship with him had become consensual.

Mackenzie told The Oprah Winfrey Show in an interview that aired Wednesday that her siblings "definitely have a problem with this."

Winfrey also read a statement from Genevieve Waite, John Phillips’ wife at the time of the alleged abuse and Mackenzie’s stepmother:

"I am stunned by Mackenzie’s terrible allegations about her father. I would often complain about her overly familiar attitudes towards him, and he said it was just her way. John was a good man. He was incapable, no matter how drunk or drugged he was, to have sexual relations with his own child."

Mackenzie said 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 "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.

She said she confronted her father in the early stages of the abuse, which she described as rape.

"My dad said, ’Raped you? Don’t you mean when we made love?’ And in that moment I thought, ’Wow, I’m really on my own here,’" Phillips said. She learned to turn her anger toward herself and "boxed it away" rather than think about the drug-fueled incest, she said.

Phillips said she doesn’t hate her father, who died in 2001 of heart failure at the age of 65.

"I understand that he was a very tortured man and … passed that torture down to me."

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

"I can’t be the only one this has happened to," Phillips said. "Someone needs to put a face on consensual incest."

Mackenzie’s half-sister Chynna Phillips of the hit 90s group Wilson Phillips shared her side of the story.

Chynna (41) said she remembers getting the call from Mackenzie in 1997, 11 years after the affair had ended, while she was between flights at LaGuardia Airport in New York City.

"She said, ’I don’t know why, but I just really felt the need to call you and tell you something that I think you need to know.’ She went on to tell me that she had had an incestuous relationship with our dad for about 10 years."

When the affair began, John was married to his third wife, model Genevieve Waïte. Chynna’s reaction, naturally, was complete shock.

"Somebody could have dropped a piano on my head and I probably wouldn’t have felt it, but I knew it was true. I mean, who in their right mind would make such a claim if it wasn’t true?"

She says the news sent her into "a deep, deep sadness and depression for about 10 days. A part of me died when I found out."

Mackenzie, who, in 2008, pleaded guilty to one count of felony cocaine possession and agreed to enter an 18-month drug deferment program, also told Oprah Winfrey in an interview Wednesday:

"My father shot me up for the first time."

If you are going to sell a book make shocking statements about people close to you like your parents, and don’t worry about alienating them if they’re dead. There is no question Mackenzie has a lot of debts she needs to pay, so a best selling book would bring in some much needed cash.

I’m not sure if I believe any of the claims Mackenzie makes about her father, except that he did a lot of drugs, even with her half sister backing up the story. Both sisters have something to gain. It seems like all the female celebrities today, once their fame begins to fade, suddenly allege they were abused, even Oprah has made that claim. Abuse happens, but why talk about it only to sell a book, or to get publicity. If the abuse happened talk to your family, don’t share it with the world, unless you’re going to start a foundation to help abused kids that are now fully grown adults.

We were discussing giving up a child the other day for adoption for some much needed money to survive. Today we are discussing a child who might be destroying her father’s good name for some much needed money to survive.

Mackenzie Phillips Drug Bust Pictures

Mackenzie Phillips, mug shot above, was busted for drug possession at LAX. As you can see in the pictures, she had three balloons police say contained heroin, and 34 syringes.

Phillips almost didn’t get caught. When she went through the metal detector the alarm went off, so TSA patted her down, but she became uncooperative, so they had her sit down in chair. That’s when some balloons, and baggies fell out of her pant leg onto the floor.

Getting caught was for the best, maybe now she can get some help.
