Mackenzie Phillips Confesses to Sexual Relationship With Father — EWWW TMI! - Page 2
Phillips has led a troubled life that has included substance abuse and a 2008 arrest at Los Angeles International Airport on suspicion of cocaine and heroin possession.
She later pleaded guilty to one count of cocaine possession and was ordered to a drug rehab program.
The interview features Phillips discussing the time she spent hiding in her home, compulsively purchasing items from a television shopping channel as well as the events surrounding her arrest.
In a promotional clip for "The Oprah Winfrey Show," Phillips also says her father shot her up with drugs. John Phillips, who died in 2001, had a well-documented drug problem and was convicted of drug trafficking in 1981. He told many stories of his drug abuse in his memoir, "Papa John."
Mackenzie Phillips also tells Winfrey about an encounter she purportedly had with rock 'n' roll legend Mick Jagger.
Look I am all for people trying to educate the public into matters of child abuse, which would certainly include incest, but this is beyond the boundaries of taste and decorum. I honestly can't think of one good reason Mackenzie would have for sharing this with the public except as a desperate effort to sell her book using salacious and sensationalistic private details to garner interest.
I am offended and grossed out even having to ponder all of this. There is NOTHING good that can come from this knowledge, NOTHING. There are people in this world (a large number of them in Hollywood) who are so morally depraved they are beyond reason. While I feel sorry for her for having a debilitating drug problem, under no circumstances does that excuse her for allowing this to continue. 19-years old is an adult and she should have known better, and for this type of illegal and immoral relationship to carry on for another decade...cripes, WTF is wrong with her?
This may be the most powerful anti-drug PSA ever!
Now excuse me, I have to go hose myself down in bleach, I have a bad case of the grosses.
