  Why would she lie? Her dad was a drug induced rock-star and most likely felt that anything goes. This is disgusting and I just don't think anyone would face public humiliation for a lie, even to sell a book. That's why molested victims don't usually say anything, people don't believe them. I myself was molested, but no one in my family knows. I was always afraid to tell, because I knew no one (or few people) would beleive me. Why are you people so quick to say she lieing just because her disgusting dad is dead or because she's writing a book? That's no reason to disbelieve her. Maybe her book will help people, and hell people the girl probably needs some money. She probably spent most of it getting high and trying to escape what happened to her.

  John Philips was a really cool dad, he let Mackenzie have sex with Mick Jagger.All the girls back then wanted to have sex with a big rock star. I think she had a really cool life and now she is bored and is trying to bring back the past. Unfortunately for her and many other girls the past is done and it will not come back by bitching about it.

  I don't buy the story. Why now after so much time and other oppurtunities to put this out there. I watched her talking about it and I thought she was lying because of her flippant attitude about the whole thing. She is an embarrassment, could we throw her out on the street with a pocketful of crack or meth and a glass tube with one of those roses in it for her hair and a 10 pack of lighters. She can sit next to that other dolt West and take turns passing the pipe and the Hennessey.

  I hate when people call my half-siblings my step-siblings. I think it's mean and hurtful.

  I think all this crap calls for a new Mama's and Papa's song, maybe Papa is California dreaming of Mackinzie on Monday Monday and what the hell maybe on Tuesday Tuesday if she will let me.

  i say shame on oprah and these women for talking about this like it's just a soap opera, an albeit sick one. And SHAME on the parents of these women for doing such a thing (him) and defending him (the mom). I don't understand why mackenzie is telling everyone- literally- now??? tell your doctor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  i know that at 19, you are a consenting adult, but people, let's look at the situation here - this girl had been drugged from a very young age, and the inappropriateness was a process. the fact that her father had been drugging her since she was, what, 10 years old, shows that he destroyed her completely. what father, who is supposed to love and care for his child, take it upon himself to drug her. the lines were crossed the moment he did that to her, so that once she was a junkie, what kind of morals could she possibly possess? she had already started having sex with other boys, had low self-esteem, and the one father figure she had, who was supposed to protect her from harm, did not love her, in fact, hated her so much he chose to drug her, break her spirit and all self worth, and molest her. what woman, who's been molested or raped, not blamed herself for the incident, when in reality, the perpetrator was 100% at fault, and the fact that victims are victimized again when they speak out is an absolute travesty!

  If it's true what happened to Mac, I cannot feel sorry for her. At 19 you are no a child and she chose to do drugs. Just because her father wanted her to shoot up, she could have said no. Also sleeping with her Father for 10 years while being married 2 times during that time is her own fault. If she didn't fly across the country to be with him, there would be no story. She is broke and needs the money. I will not purchase her book to help her do drugs again. Going on Oprah was not the right place for the dirty laundry. She looked and acted very way out there. Body language tells a lot.

  Nothing prepares you to hear this kind of news and I'm not sure that even if Chynna had talked to Mackenzie sooner, it would have been any better. Personally I think everyone involved is being very selfish; it seems to be all about how they are feeling and not about how Mackenzie is feeling. It took guts for her to write about what happened and I wish her well. I do agree with one thing Chynna said though; Mackenzie is going to need the lord to help her through this ( because obviously her family is going to be no help)

• September 26, 2009 - 10:06pm Rudy Says:

  The sister tells her to get the Lord on board because she is going to need him. I would think she already has in order for her to be able to come forth with this info about her dad. It takes a brave strong person to be able to do what she has. I have to give her credit for this. Maybe this is her way of closing this chapter of her life so she can go on with her life in peace. The step - moms who doubt her and do not want to believe this happened might be in denial and ashamed that they were married to such a person and I'm sure this is a low blow to there womanhood as well. If I had to take a educated guess I would have to say this probably did happen. Sometimes it takes years for this to surface where you can think about it nevertheless talk about it. People question this because she waited so many years after her dad died to speak and he isn't here to defend himself but it's possible she waited so she wouldn't put him thru all of the shame she has to face because of this. She could have been protecting him in the long run. She clearly loved her dad and she is just trying to be right with all of this. I'm sure when she decided to come out with this she weighed her options and realized she would be critized by so many for doing this. Remember she didn't do this for any of us she did it for her...

  No one should blame the victim...but if anyone had any respect for their siblings, not to mention their child, they should work this out through therapy; not by earning a big paycheck for publishing a book. To make matters worse, going public all over magazines and television in order to publicize their book

• September 26, 2009 - 9:09pm Anonymous Says:

  Chynna said that she needed time to prepare. She's known since 1997. Why didn't the family help MacKenzie back then? Now they're all horrified and blaming Mcakenzie for putting them in this position. NO, John Phillips put them in this position.

  Your headline is a bunch of pot-stirring BS. There was no "confrontation." Just more yellow "journalism" from US.

  when you find a big kettle of crazy, it's best not to stir it.

  Why is it everytime a celebrity seems to want to tell the world they were abused, they publish it in a book so they can get paid? This is something so personal and tramatic for everyone involved. It just seems to me that if you were abused and had already told your family members about it, maybe you should be going to therapy or at least helping others ( I mean really helping others... not just announcing stuff in a book or on Oprah). I would hope that proceeds from this book go to helping other victims of these crimes, not just someone's bank account. By the way, I can't remember a song that her father's band sang or really who her father was. So no, I do not care about this ruining someone's reputation. This is a story that the entire nation shouldn't have heard about, ESPECIALLY, since she had already told her family about. Let her family and her deal with this in private, not in front of the entire world.

  I don't understand how anyone here can blame the victim. It shouldn't matter how and what means she used to come forward to talk about it, at least she has the courage to talk. Many victims bottle up the abuse they've experienced, letting it affect everything in their lives. She needs support now, not belittling comments.

  Mackenzie needs therapy now, but going on the OPRAH show and speaking to EVERY TABLOID paper is not the therapy she needs. She seems to be relishing in the attention she has now acquired. This has-been druggy needs intense therapy NOW by certified doctors, not talk show hosts or being fodder for EVERY tabloid magazine. Her willing participation as an adult in this incestuous affair proves that.

• September 26, 2009 - 6:59am Zen Says:

  US, Chynna is Mackenzie's half-sister, not stepsister...Proofreading, anyone? ..OK.... Do I think this scenario was possible, given the heavy drug usage? Yes.. But for it have occurred at the age Mackenzie was, that right THERE shows you that this woman was/is mentally disturbed.. She clearly, clearly had attention issues, neediness issues.. I am all for shedding light adn focus on "taboo" issues, so that victims can come forward and be helped...But this just reeks of tabloid tell-all. ENOUGH.

  The incest news of Mackenzie was a bombshell. Some of the comments on this blog are bombshell too. People are posting about how this news has ruined their pleasure of listening to Mamas and Papas in the future. How selfish? Some of the bloggers are chiding Mackenzie about going after her son for sex. How mean? Please try to understand what Mackenzie went through at the hands of someone who was an authority figure. Try to understand, how drugs can alter the behavior (think of John Philips, who was not only a perverted man but whose very low moral values were lowered even more by drugs). Try to understand the times people were living in...the drug culture was new, it was "OK" to be sexually promiscuous. But through all this strange times, thousands of young children like Mackenzie were affected. Children of hippies were getting conflicting messages, one from their parents and the other from the society. Mackenzie is coming out and revealing how it was to be one of those children. She belonged to a rich family, but countless other middle-class people were doing drugs and raising children. Did they try to give drugs to their pre-teen children? We hope very few did. And those who did (like John Philips), had lost their morality completely. Read Mackenzie's story not as one person's story (the drug part), read it as it happened to thousands of children. Read the incest part of the story as it happened, and as it happens even today, to countless young pre-teens and teens. Mackenzie's situation is, of course, different which happened at the stage of life when she was full adult. She was also a sicko (especially when she was having consensual relationship) to have such a relationship with her father. However, her father is to be blamed. Here is a father who introduces his 11 year old child to marijuana, then a year later to cocaine,and teaches at the age of 14 or so to shoot cocaine in the vein. Then a few yeas later, he has sex with her, while she is intoxicated. The man was devoid of any morality whatsoever. Now the story is out...let us hope it will help other incest victims. It will give them courage to come out and let the abuser be put to shame (or better, be put in jail).
