Chynna Phillips Confirms Mackenzie Phillips Affair
by Free Britney at .In her new memoir, actress Mackenzie Phillips scandalously and disturbingly reveals that she had a 10-year affair with her father, musician John Phillips.
It's an outrageous claim, but likely (and sadly) not an untrue one.
Mackenzie's half-sister, Chynna Phillips, backs her up all the way.
Chynna, of the hit 90s group Wilson Phillips, shares her side of the sad tale, recalling how she once got a call from Mackenzie, now 49, in 1997.
This was 11 years after the affair had ended. Mackenzie Phillips spilled to Chynna, now 41, all about how their father had an affair with her.
"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,'" Chynna Phillips said.
Chynna Phillips believes Mackenzie's story 100 percent.
"[Mackenzie] went on to tell me that she had had an incestuous relationship with our dad (of '60s band The Mamas and the Papas) for about 10 years."
When the affair began, John Phillips was married to his third wife, model Genevieve Waïte. Chynna's reaction, not surprisingly, was total shock.
"Somebody could have dropped a piano on my head and I probably wouldn't have felt it," the singer says in an interview with Us Weekly. "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."
In her book, High on Arrival, Mackenzie Phillips also claims she and her father did drugs together and that her father "shot me up for the first time."
Chynna confirms this as well: "They were both doing drugs together."
"After long nights of heroin use, she's claiming that she once woke up and that my father was on top of her having sex with her," Chynna said.
"Was he actually raping her? I don't know. Do I believe that they had an incestuous relationship and that it went on for 10 years? Yes."

I.can't believe the.stupid.comments left..some people.have.different addictions..like the.need to talk.shit.
it is not so terrible. May be Mack was a "victim" of the destiny. It all was given to happen what it happened. She was the only one daughter who was always near to John,in all circumstances. They both had their respective couples, but they share the sex with them, that is, Mack had sex with daddy while she slept with her husband of turn, and John the same thing with her wife of turn. There must have existed a superb sexual attraction between Mack and John to carry on an incestuous relationship for long ten years, as she confessed, that she consented to and participated in willingly, enjoying till the last drop of sperm her father poured into her vagina, every time she gave herself naked to her father's arms not to let him rock her to sleep, but let him make her feel orgasms of pleasure
I am so proud of MacKenzie for her strength. She is one of my favourite people in the world. I watched her on Celebrity Rehab and she is the one I pray for the most. I wish I could meet her as she is an inspiration to me and I know others for her strength and honesty. I love you MacKenzie and wish the very best for you always Carolyn kassinger Ontario Canada
I’m shocked and appalled at the naivety of some of the comments I’m reading here. This poor girl grew up in a home of drug abuse and complete dysfunction. No child asks to be abused by a parent. And I’m sorry, but if their “consensual†sexual relationship began when she was 19, this doesn’t mean that she entered it as a clear-headed adult. This was the result of a lifetime of deviant influence from her father. This story is more common than you might think, and if coming out publicly with the truth gives other people the courage to come to terms with their own truths, who are we to criticize? Shame on you for demonizing this abused, broken woman.
Do any of us know the actual truth? No. Only her, her father, and God know the truth in this situation. She will answer for this, whether it is true or false, in the end. For those of you throwing stones - Judge not, lest ye be judged. One thing is for certain, I feel terrible for the family to have to deal with all of this, especially considering the inability to know whether it really happened or not. It is likely something that they will all struggle with for the rest of their lives. Pray for them.
