Mackenzie Phillips: I slept with my own father

[DrPhil]

This story has been bothering me. Really, really bothering me. So sad and gross if it is true. Her father giving her drugs and having sex with her...her having sex with Mick Jager (wasn't it he?) when she was 18.....

She said she kept it a secret because she didn't want to ruin her father's reputation. Umm...thanks for sharing now, I guess.

some things are better left out of a tell-all book! really, did she need to share this?

I don't think so. It annoys me that we now know this.

Then again, I'm conflicted because who are we to want people (celebrities or people who held onto info for 30 years) to hold onto these types of things?

It's just perfect timing for her tell-all book and need for continued stardom/money. It's like Barbara Walters vagina monologues that were so tacky and attention whoreish.

I think it's gross that it happened but I don't feel one way or the other about her in particular sharing it. I think incest is one of those things that is swept under the rug and probably needs to be more "demystified" for lack of a better word.

Similarly, it will sell a shit ton of books. It's hard to ignore that part.

Sordid sex secret + Oprah appearance + her fans who like to read whatever is suggested = $$$

Yup, you are right.

It annoys me too that we know this. This should be between Ms. Phillips and her therapist and relevant family members/friends, and not the entire country.

I don't know how we got all confessional about our pasts, but I don't really care about this.
