Mackenzie Phillips, daughter of The Mamas & the Papas frontman John Phillips, has spoken out about her alleged in****uous relationship with her dad.
Her sister, Chynna, is one-third of the pop band Wilson Phillips, alongside Carnie and Wendy Wilson, the daughters of Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys.
Chynna and Mackenzie’s father, John Phillips, was known for hits like ‘California Dreamin’ and ‘Monday, Monday,’ in the band he fronted with their mother, Michelle Phillips.
In an interview for Chynna’s YouTube channel, Mackenzie opens up about the abusive relationship she had with her father.
Mackenzie claims that John had ‘a very dark side.’
“I had tons of pills, and dad had tons of everything too. Eventually, I passed out on dad’s bed,” she alleges.
“Had this happened before? I didn’t know. All I can say is it was the first time I was aware of it,” she says.
She claims that after this initial assault, she began a s**ual relationship with her dad.
Mackenzie tells Oprah this relationship was consensual, calling it a type of ‘Stockholm syndrome.’
She also reveals that she ended the relationship after becoming pregnant.
Mackenzie ended her pregnancy, due to her not being sure who the father was.
The pair also muse on Chynna sticking by Mackenzie after she initially came forward with the abuse allegations.
“When I stood by you, I meant it with all my heart,” Chynna says.
“Dad was something else. And I get a lot of criticism and a lot of trolling online for having forgiveness in my heart,” Mackenzie adds.
“Forgiving is for me, not the other person. And forgiving doesn’t mean that I co-sign or agree with what I’m forgiving you for, or him for. It’s very complicated. It’s very, very complicated. And yet, I am at peace.”
