LITTLE ROCK — Former child star Mackenzie Phillips said Wednesday that her father, John Phillips, who was a leader of the 1960s pop group The Mamas and the Papas, raped her when she was a teenager and that her sexual relationship with him later became what she termed "consensual." Mackenzie Phillips writes in her new book, High on Arrival, that she had sex with her father on the night before she was to get married in 1979 at age 19,according to People magazine. Phillips wrote in her book: "I woke up that night from a blackout to find myself having sex with my own father." She told The Oprah Winfrey Show in an interview that aired Wednesday that her siblings "definitely have a problem with this." Winfrey also read a statement from Genevieve Waite, John Phillips' wife at the time of the alleged abuse and Mackenzie's stepmother. Waite's statement said John Phillips was "incapable, no matter how drunk or drugged he was, of having such a relationship with his own child." Phillips, 49, who starred on TV's One Day at a Time, said the sexual relationship with her father lasted a decade and ended when she became pregnant and didn't know who had fathered the child. She had an abortion, which her father paid for, and "and I never let him touch me again." Phillips also told Winfrey that she first tried cocaine when she was 11 years old. Her father did drugs with her, taught her to roll joints and injected her with cocaine. Phillips said she's been drug-free for a year after pleading guilty to possessing cocaine and entering a drug treatment program. Phillips said she doesn't hate her father, who died in 2001 of heart failure at age 65. "I understand that he was a very tortured man and ... passed that torture down to me," she said. John Phillips co-founded The Mamas and the Papas and wrote its biggest hits, including "California Dreamin'" and "Monday Monday."
