Mackenzie Phillips: Family Secret Revealed to Oprah

Mackenzie Phillips' Family Secret is Shocking and Unlike Anything You Have Ever Heard Before

Mackenzie Phillips' family secret will be revealed to the world as Oprah airs an exclusive interview with the daughter of the late Mamas and the Papas front man John Phillips. Mackenzie Phillips' family secret is far more shocking than anything ever heard before.

According to E! Online reports, Oprah Winfrey wrote the following Twitter message:

"Interviewed One Day at a Time's Mackenzie Phillips,Thought I'd heard it all...beyond shocking! We're airing it Wednesday."

What makes Mackenzie Phillips' family secret so shocking? Mackenzie Phillips had a sexual relationship with her father.

Reports on the subject of Mackenzie Phillips' family secret are conflicting. The E! Online report indicates that Mackenzie Phillips told her father that they needed to talk about when he "raped" her, and how her father felt that they actually "made love".

A second report from Upi.com indicates that Mackenzie Phillips' family secret involved a consensual sexual relationship.

Both reports tell of the incident that lead to the Mackenzie Phillips family secret. On the eve of her wedding, her father who had supplied her drugs throughout her childhood showed up with a bunch of pills. They both took drugs and she woke up having a sexual relationship with her father.

Mackenzie Phillips' family secret isolated her from the world. According to Upi.com, the late John Phillips even suggested that they move to a country that accepted father-daughter intimate relationships.

I think that John Phillips must have been a very disturbed individual. It's well known that the singer of the Mamas and the Papas had a drug problem. His drug problem could have altered his state of mind so much that he saw nothing wrong with having an intimate relationship with his daughter. This is the only explanation of the shocking Mackenzie Phillips family secret that I can come up with.

On the other hand, Mackenzie Phillips is the victim of sexual abuse. Even if Mackenzie Phillips' family secret led to consensual sexual relations, it was most likely because she was a victim and not because she was romantically in love with her father.

The Mackenzie Phillips family secret is undoubtedly shocking. I know I have never heard anything like it in my life. Oprah's interview where Mackenzie Phillips' family secret will be revealed will be aired tomorrow. I am sure much more will be discussed in detail than the facts leaked to the press.

    Mackenzie Phillips must have the courage of a thousand incest survivors stuffed into one body. Surely she knew that if she came forward many would proclaim her a liar. She must have known people would deny her truth. She must have expected a public backlash. Yet she spoke. And told our stories.


    My heart aches for her, for the pain so evident on her face. My soul cries for what she has been through, yet rejoices in her strength, in her courage, in her ability to tell her truth. But that ache grows deeper when I hear her describe a consensual incestuous relationship, when I hear her attempt to take some form of responsibility for acts a father perpetuated on a daughter. So painfully few seem to be calling it what it is-incest. It's being called a sexual relationship, when it's incest. There is no consent possible when a child, any child of any age, is put in a sexual situation by their parent. All of the power in the parent-child relationship is allocated to the parent; as children
