Mackenzie Phillips will reveal tomorrow on Oprah that her father, Mamas and Papas founder John Phillips, raped her, Gossip Cop has learned. The interview coincides with the release of her memoir, “High on Arrival.” Already it’s been revealed in promos for tomorrow’s program that her father introduced the “One Day at a Time” star to drugs. She recalls, “My father shot me up for the first time.” She also discusses Mick Jagger’s attempt to seduce her and other long-held secrets.
But the most stunning revelation is that John had sex with a drugged-out 19-year-old Mackenzie as she faded in and out of consciousness on the eve of her wedding to Jeff Sessler in 1979. According to a leaked copy of the book, when she later confronted him about it, she said, “We have to talk about how you raped me,” to which he responded, “You mean when we made love?” The two had a long-term incestuous relationship, the memoir reveals.
“My father showed up, determined to stop [the wedding,]” Phillips writes. “I had tons of pills, and Dad had tons of everything too. Eventually I passed out on Dad’s bed.”
“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,” she explains.
“Had this happened before? I didn’t know. All I can say is it was the first time I was aware of it. For a moment I was in my body, in that horrible truth, and then I slid back into a blackout,” Phillips adds.
The sexual relationship eventually became consensual. “One night Dad said, ‘We could just run away to a country where no one would look down on us. There are countries where this is an accepted practice. Maybe Fiji.’
“He was completely delusional. No, I thought, we’re going to hell for this.”
Earlier this afternoon Oprah tweeted, “Interviewed One Day at a Time’s Mackenzie Phillips. Thought I’d heard it all … beyond shocking! We’re airing it Wednesday.”
Dear Lord ….
