Actress Mackenzie Phillips has revealed in a memoir released on Wednesday September 23rd that she had a long-term sexual affair with her father John Phillips, the late singer with 1960s band The Mamas & Papas.
Reuters notes:
In the memoir "High Arrival", which was published a year after she was arrested for cocaine possession, Phillips writes that she had sex with her father at age 19, the night before her 1979 marriage to Jeff Sessler, a member of the Rolling Stones' entourage.
The former star of TV sitcom "One Day at a Time" said she and her father used drugs that night. John Phillips died in 2001.
"My father was not a man with boundaries," Phillips writes. "He was full of love, and he was sick with drugs. I woke up that night to find myself having sex with my own father.
I don't usually post on this sort of stuff but 'California Dreaming' by The Mamas & Papas is one of my favorite 1960's songs ever. If you're not familiar with the song, listen to it below; It is a gorgeous melody even if John Phillips f*cked (allegedly) his own daughter.
