Sugar Daddy

Actress Mackenzie Phillips claims she had a long-term incestuous relationship with her father, musician John Phillips of the 60’s group the Mamas and the Papas.

In “High on Arrival,” her new tell-all book which hits stores today, the former “One Day at a Time” star says her first recollection of her father having sex with her was on the night before her wedding to Jeff Sessler, a member of the Rolling Stones entourage.

“On the eve of my [1979] wedding, my father showed up, determined to stop it,” Phillips, who was a teenager and strung out on drugs at the time, writes. “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. Had this happened before? I didn’t know. All I can say is that it was the first time I was aware of it.”

According to Phillips, the relationship eventually became consensual and continued for ten years.

Phillips also told talk-show queen Oprah Winfrey that it was her father who shot her up for the first time with cocaine when she was just ten years old.

"I remember going into my room, I was crouched on the floor. ... He put the needle in my arm and put the plunger in and he missed," she says. "He missed the vein and my whole arm went numb."

The actress went on to endure severe drug addiction, which cost her role on “One Day at a Time,” divorce and an eventual felony cocaine possession charge in 2008.
