Mackenzie Phillips to Reveal Family Secret on Oprah - Video

Most might have the need to google Mackenzie Philips to find out who I am talking about. I will save you the time. She was the daughter of John Phillips from the 60’s iconic band The Mamas and The Papas and she played Julie Cooper Horvath on “One Day at a Time.” You might also recognize her from” American Graffiti.”

Mackenzie will be on Oprah this afternoon sharing a “bombshell family secret” that she has been keeping for over 30 years. What isn’t a secret is Phillips’ one night stand with Mick Jagger. In a gag inducing admission, she stated that he seduced her when she was a 13 years old and told her, “I’ve been waiting to do this since you were ten years old.”

Fast forward to the summer of 2008. She was arrested at LAX for trying to smuggle heroin and coke on the plane. This wasn’t her first time in jail. In 1979 she was arrested for possession of cocaine. Her drug dependency ultimately cost her the role on “One Day at a Time.” She blames her father, who she claims first shot her up with heroin, for her drug issue.

So what is the Phillips Family Secret? I can’t imagine what is worse than injecting heroin into your daughter and then pimping her to a family friend.

Based on my experience as a retired police officer, many of the cases I investigated involving sexual abuse of children involved a parent ( mostly fathers) who grew up in the 60s, protested the Vietnam War deciding drugs were the way. As these 60s burnouts now become granfathers, watch your grandchildren.

Thank you, Mackenzie Phillips, for sharing your story. Thanks to you, I was able to have a wider audience to share my story as well. I am on page 83 of the October 12th, 2009 issue of PEOPLE Magazine following your article. I am also a RAINN Speaker who has done numerous presentations about this issue. I have radio podcasts/internet radio show called “Candidly Candace” that discusses women’s issues. Thanks, again, and keep speaking out! It helps people like me!
