Actress Bijou Phillips says she knew her half-sister Mackenzie
Phillips had consensual sex with their father, Mamas and the
Papas leader John Phillips.
In a statement read by Oprah Winfrey on her talk show Friday,
Bijou Phillips says she was 13 years old when Mackenzie Phillips
told her about the sexual relationship.
Bijou Phillips, now 29, says the news was confusing and scary,
and that it was "heartbreaking" to think her family would leave
her alone with her father knowing what he did

Appearing on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" Friday, Mackenzie Phillips
said their father "had changed his ways as much as he was able
to" and that she felt Bijou Phillips was safe.
But Mackenzie says she did go get her sister when she "felt like
she wasn't being watched properly."
Mackenzie Phillips claims in a new book that 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.
In an interview with People magazine, Phillips, now 49, pleads
with readers �don�t hate my father.�
�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.
Phillip's half-sister Chynna Phillips, who was the front-woman
for the band Wilson-Phillips, said she was shocked when
Mackenzie told her the news.
In an interview with Us magazine, she says "somebody could have
dropped a piano on my head and I probably wouldn't have felt it.
But I knew it was true. I mean, who in their right mind would
make such a claim if it wasn't true?"
Upon hearing the news, she went into "a deep sadness and
depression for about 10 days. A part of me died when I found
out."
"After long nights of heroin use, she's claiming that she once
woke up and that my father was on top of her having sex with
her," Chynna told Us Weekly. "Was he actually raping her? I
don't know. Do I believe that they had an incestuous
relationship and that it went on for 10 years? Yes."
