Mackenzie Phillips Spills Her Secrets

In Entertainment, Headliners, Literature, TV on September 24, 2009 at 11:20 am

While Mackenzie Phillips promotes her book, High On Arrival, she’s been spilling her family secrets. Her father was John Phillips of The Mamas And The Papas and she was a child star from American Graffiti and One Day At A Time.

First Mackenzie sat with Oprah on Wednesday and let out the bombshell that she had sex with her own father. That the “affair” lasted 10 years and what started as rape became consensual.

Thursday she stopped by The Today Show for another interview.

Mackezie also states that she became pregnant during the “affair” and because of the issue of paternity (she didn’t know if the child was her father’s or the child of the man she was seeing at the time) she chose to have an abortion.

The former wild-child also remembers a night she spent with Mick Jagger.

The book is sure to be a best seller. I would stay tuned though for family reactions.
