Mackenzie phillips incest story
For the second time in one week, Mackenzie Phillips sat down for an interview with Oprah Winfrey on Friday (September 25) to discuss her allegations of an over 10-year incestuous relationship with her father, John Phillips of the Mamas and the Papas. This time she was joined by her younger sister Chynna.
Via satellite from New York, Mackenzie shared stories of the positive reaction she's received in the past days and responded to critics who questioned her decision to speak out.
The former child star of "One Day at a Time" returned to the Oprah Winfrey Show today to defend her decision to write her bombshell book "High on Arrival," in which she confessed to engaging in a 10-year
rock star John Phillips, the lead singer for the '60s group the Mamas and the Papas.
"It's been heartening and heartbreaking at the same time …with the way my family's reacting," she said about the response to her appearance on Wednesday.
But as the former actress and musician talked with Oprah Winfrey for the second time this week -- this time about the firestorm that erupted from her hour-long interview Wednesday -- she said she doesn't regret writing her memoir, "High on Arrival."
"I understand this is a difficult thing for my family," Phillips told Winfrey via satellite Friday, "but nobody's talking about this, and if I've started a national dialogue, then I'm forever grateful."
Phillips said she has gotten letters and Facebook messages from incest survivors, thanking her for coming forward.
"It's been heartening and heartbreaking at the same time," she said.
