Mackenzie Phillips thinks we care enough about her messed-up life to have written a tell-all. Maybe someone does. Whoever this person is who actually wants to know how Mackenzie became such a mess will definitely be getting their money's worth, as the book includes details about Mackenzie's incestuous relationship with her late father John Phillips of the Mamas and the Papas.Mackenzie characterizes the incest as "long-term." In other words it was more than just a single drug-fueled moment of craziness. Mackenzie actually doesn't know how long it went on. The first time she was conscious of it, she says, was after John burst in on her the night before she was to wed some dude named Jeff Sessler.
"My father was not a man with boundaries," Mackenzie writes. "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."
The incest went on for many years. Lovesick John at one point proposed he and Mackenzie move to Fiji or someplace where fathers and daughters fucked all the time and everyone was cool with it.
Amazingly, Mackenzie did not end up poisoning her father's porridge or braining him with a jade Buddha statue. So she must've liked it. Maybe the guy was just great in the sack? Who am I to judge?
