CHICAGO — 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 is now 29 and says the news was confusing and scary. She says it was "heartbreaking" to think her family would leave her alone with her father.
Appearing as a guest on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" Friday, Mackenzie Phillips said their father "had changed his ways as much as he was able to" and she felt Bijou Phillips was safe.
Mackenzie Phillips says she did go get her sister when she "felt like she wasn't being watched properly."

If 5000 jobs can be so vital to the nation's economy, they should get what they ask for in bargaining. Simple.

In addition, she wrote a book, then went on the talk show circuit to market the book and her story. She'd be more believable if she'd just told her story, minus the book. After all, she stands to make a lot of money from this lurid tale.
It seems to be the Hollywood way...if life treats you wrong, write a book and capitalize on it. I feel sorry for her being introduced to drugs at such a young age and she has my sympathy if this story is true for sure.

They are not role models; they are far more messed up than the average person, and yet their personal lives continue to attract attention. Myave it's just me but I don't get it.

This is another reason I'm glad our society worships celebrities in the loveliest of mindless fashions. They always set such a darn good example of respectable human behaviour.
We're blessed to have them. They warmly demonstrate to each of us, daily, what we're missing in our mundane, unhappy, and unfulfilling lives.
