Now this is a horrifying revelation.

Mackenzie Phillips, the trouble-plagued eldest daughter of the late Mamas & the Papas frontman John Phillips, says in an interview with Oprah Winfrey, airing tomorrow, that she was a victim of rape at the hands of her famous father.

Phillips says in her new memoir, High on Arrival (which she discussed with the daytime queen), that she confronted John, who died in March 2001, about their sordid past, saying, "We have to talk about when you raped me."

To which John replied, according to his daughter, "You mean when we made love?"

Ugh.

"Interviewed One Day at a Time's Mackenzie Phillips," Winfrey wrote on Twitter this afternoon. Thought I'd heard it all…beyond shocking! We're airing it Wednesday."

Phillips, 49, is John's daughter with his first wife, Susan Adams. Bijou and Chynna Phillips, who also have different moms, are her half-sisters.

The rock 'n' roll progeny has battled drug addiction and has been in trouble with the law off and on since she was a teenager, problems that derailed her promising acting career. Most recently, she was arrested for cocaine possession at Los Angeles International Airport last summer.

She also talks in her book about her father supplying her with drugs when she was a kid, an unsavory habit that ultimately led to the biggest parent-child betrayal of all.

"On the eve of my wedding, my father showed up, determined to stop it," Phillips wrote. "I had tons of pills, and Dad had tons of everything too. Eventually I passed out on Dad's bed.

"My father was not a man with boundaries. 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."

Phillips was 19 at the time.

"I was a fragment of a person, and my secret isolated me," she wrote.

To which John replied, according to his daughter, "You mean when we made love?"

Nothing more has to be said about child mongering, EVER. [/shitspants]

Just the best story in all of rock and roll now.

I think I'd always just assumed this.

Bijou

his daughter Bijou went to my elementary school. She was a year younger than me and severely disturbed. I was talking to my mom about it recently and she said it was really heartbreaking and she would do things to help her out. She seems pretty well adjusted now but it does not surprise me AT ALL.

She seems pretty well adjusted now

Didn't Bij date Sean Lennon for a time?

Imagine that child: John Lennon's narcissism & John Phillips's sociopathy. & if a daughter, put that in Bij's mom's body. Those teachers banging their students -- Le Tourneau, La Fave, et. al. -- would be children, themselves, by comparison.

Indeed she did.
she also posed in Playboy.

she is either engaged or married to Danny Masterson of That 70's Show...

Based on the thread title, I thought you were talking about this guy:

Andy Warhol Presents Man on the Moon is one whopper of an oddity in the annals of '70s music and theater. It is perhaps the most complex, diverse, and utterly strange recorded offering in the musical biography of John Phillips. Conceived after the Apollo 11 moon landing in 1969 as a theatrical and cinematic work by Phillips, he spent half a decade trying to realize a production that began in the Southern California with numerous producers, directors, and costumers. He eventually ended up in the hands of Andy Warhol, who hired Paul Morrissey as director; Morrissey was fired by Richard Turley in favor of a more experienced Broadway director. The show opened at the Little Theater on Broadway and closed five days later amid disastrous reviews. Phillips' other motivating factor here was creating a musical work as a vehicle for his wife, Genevieve Waite (whose unconventional voice was always a controversy in the realization of this production, but one has to wonder why, in retrospect). He was trying to develop her as a singer in her own right -- which never really happened on any major scale though she did record an album in the '70s. Originally conceived as a musical around the theme of global brotherhood, its plot consisted of a notion that the space mission left a giant bomb on the moon that could annihilate the entire universe. A space mission by an international collective of astronauts and scientists were to head to the moon to defuse it.

Yes, it sounds crazy, and it was perhaps. Yet the music left behind is anything but. What exists on the album is a whopping 38 tracks, the vast majority of them recorded in finished form by Phillips with a small but very effective backing band in places. There are also a handful of cuts with Waite performing as Angel, the female principal in the production, a few outtakes, five audience recordings from the actual Broadway performances, some video footage, and a .pdf file that includes the playbill and other oddities. Phillips' music is written in an earlier American style, ranging from something like late Vaudeville and early Broadway to contemporary folk music. Despite some of the deliberately campy aspects in some of the songs, the dreams of John Phillips are contained in songs such as "Truth Cannot Be Treason." In essence, this is for fans of the Phillips' solo recordings only, but that doesn't make it bad music; far from it; much of what is here is beautiful, haunting, wonderfully naive, and utterly canny in its cultural critique. For any Phillips' fan this set is utterly worth owning. This is early-'70s post-hippie pessimism (that the planet Earth could actually sustain life much longer) at its best.
